6 red tartan Christmas crackers with scalloped edges, 32 cm long

About this product

These 6 crackers are 32 cm long and 5.6 cm across, printed in a red, white and green tartan with scalloped edging and tied with red grosgrain ribbon. The listing calls the look traditional, and says the cracker contents are plastic free.

Inside every cracker sit a hat, a joke, a snap, an activity and a gift. The gifts listed range from a ruler, a padlock with keys and a yo-yo to a bottle-opener keyring, a nail file and multi-tool, and the Mystery Calculator card game. The paper is described as FSC-certified. The warnings state that the crackers are unsuitable for children under 36 months because of the long cord, and that some gifts are adult items, not toys, for ages 14 and over.

What to use it for

On a table dressed in red, green or plaid, put one cracker at each place; six crackers cover six guests, and pulling them together gives everyone a hat and a joke.

Care and safety

After the meal, remove the ribbons from the pulled crackers before recycling the paper. Until then, store the box away from damp.
