4. Reusable “Keep This Cracker”
We love crackers at Christmas time where here in the UK it’s estimated that we pull up to 100 million in one festive season alone.
But what knocks the shine off for many of us is the waste left behind, not to mention the cheap gifts that often go straight in the bin. ’Keep This Cracker’ pulls like a standard cracker, but here is where the similarity ends, because these eco-friendly crackers don’t tear. They come apart so you can put them back together again by simply replacing the broken snap with a new one. No glue or fuss.
They are available in 6 designs and come in flat-packs of 6.
