GillianCrackers Old Fashioned, Hand-Wrapped, Christmas Crackers for the holidays
are truly handmade. Brightly wrapped in double layers of tissue with a printed over-wrap, each cracker contains many seasonal treats much like the original Christmas crackers from the Victorian Tradition. If you are ordering several crackers, each one will have a different joke and puzzle for added fun and variety! Two Carols are included and, depending on the size of the order, I arrange them so at least 3 or 4 of the crackers contain the same song for group caroling!

.... Your Christmas crackers brought joy, laughter and ooohs and ahh's to our Christmas morning! We loved the printed tissue crowns and all wore them well into the afternoon. So much nicer than the usual solid color crowns! Mine doubled as a chef's hat! I wore it while I prepared Christmas dinner. It was very festive with the green and red holly print!

We took turns reading our jokes. We hung our little ornaments on the tree and raced to see who could complete their crossword puzzle first.  We all agreed...our son's fiance achieved the loudest "crack" when we popped them open. Thank you so much...we thoroughly enjoyed them! Can hardly wait to see next year's version!

2008 Holiday Shipping Notes:

Schedule -
November 10th, 2008 for USA Orders.

November 24th, 2008 for Canadian Orders.

 

 

PLEASE ORDER EARLY!
ORDER NOW!!
IMPORTANT: As most of you know, my crackers are created in season, not in advance and warehoused as is the case for most of mundane, plastic-filled crackers on the market. GillianCrackers are packed at the last moment to ensure freshness of the chocolate and other contents. And each customer order is individually filled to ensure they will contain as much variety of contents as possible. The flip side of this coin is that there is a finite number of crackers I can fill at the very last moment, so…please help me to send you the best crackers possible and ensure timely delivery by placing your order NOW!


** Orders received after November 1st this year CANNOT be guaranteed for Hanukkah or Christmas delivery. Customers who place late orders will be subject to an Expresspost Surcharge.

~~~
At this time I have still not been able to find a means of shipping to Britain, Europe or anywhere outside of Canada and the continental United States. There continues to be airline security issues with the little (harmless!) snapper included in each cracker. I am glad to ship the cracker without the snappers to almost anywhere in the world.
