Your house is decorated beautifully, the tree is twinkling bright, your nearest and dearest are coming over for Christmas, so why not complete the look and add a touch of opulence to your Christmas table with these sumptuous velvet crackers.

We have six elegant colours to choose from, so you can match the crackers to your theme, or choose a different colour for each guest.

As our crackers are personalised, you can have your guests initials printed on a small gold metal tag, allowing them to double up as lavish place settings. A far cry from the boxes of paper crackers we grew up with, filled with plastic toys and jokes that make you sigh.

Each cracker is carefully sewn in our Cumbrian studio in the UK, edged with a pompom trim, lined with linen and hand tied with velvet ribbon. Once untied, each will reveal a cardboard tube, that you can fill with goodies. These are crackers that you wont want to store away. Bring them out for a special occasion, a milestone birthday, or anniversary meal. They are definitely not just for Christmas! And as the personalised tags can be removed there is no excuse not to use these again and again.

Your guests will appreciate all the extra efforts you have gone to, to fill each one with something you know they will love, be that chocolates, a small gift, their favourite tipple, a piece of jewellery, or a variety of goodies. You could even add some biodegradable confetti for that extra level of surprise.

If it's too much to fill all the crackers, why not organise a 'secret santa' style cracker fill. Arrange for each guest to fill a cracker for another, and have fun guessing who filled who's. This could become a brand new family tradition, without the waste and disappointment of plastic gifts.

These elegant crackers will also make a beautifully thoughtful gift for a couple spending their first Christmas together.

We also make luxurious velvet stockings to match. Imagine your loved ones faces coming downstairs on Christmas morning so find these hanging by the fireplace, enticingly brimming with gifts. The perfect way to start the day.
