Crackers Aren't Just for Christmas!
Crackers may be synonymous with the festive season but, here at The Cracker Company, we know that crackers are perfect favours and gifts for year round celebrations.
We're a family-run company that was born from a love of crackers and celebrations, looking to add something different to events and gift giving throughout the year.
Our crackers will finish off your table décor at a wedding, add colour to your event, create a moment for celebration at a party and give any occasion a memorable talking point!
Of course, we do still love a Christmas cracker and our festive range is full of exciting designs that cater for both traditional and modern themes.
To give you some inspiration for using crackers for other seasons, we've got together some ideas here of how to use crackers throughout the year, not just for Christmas...
