Home made Christmas Crackers - Real Mum story on MoM

Well, it was a huge hit… bigger than I thought. The Christmas Crackers I made went off with a bang!

The twelve I made, each one specific to that particular person were thoroughly enjoyed by one and all.

I bought small little presents from the $2 shop to pack in a pringles container and google sourced jokes characteristic to each person to pack in there as well and it was so much fun. The family all pleaded for me to do it again next year and I most definitely will seeing the difference between bought crackers and home made ones.I’m a very happy happy Mom!

Lovely (and crafty) idea….I will definitely add this to my list for next Christmas (and I really need to start planning ahead)

I love making things that most people seem to buy, do it a lot at Christmas & for birthdays & just because. It gives me a lot of pleasure & is fun too.

This is something my Mum has been doing too for the last few years, we love to see what is in ‘our’ cracker. She also puts in a scratchie or two and once we won $50!

very creative! I might have to give it a go next year, or for Chistmas in July

What a lovely personalised idea, unfortunately as my family is huge, I won’t have the time to do this! A great tradition you have started too!
