£2.75 each
For dedicated followers of Jediism this could be a positive inspiration to fight evil. We're not entirely sure what Darth is saying in his all too brief message but we feel convinced it's something horribly menacing!

We just love the Spark Plug Torch. To light up you simply give the spark plug a little twist or press for shorter light bursts.Lip Gloss
You can't really go wrong with lip gloss...it's a just a matter of choosing which one!!!The Rubber Duck has been going for years and I don't think there's any sign of its popularity coming to an end. 
When The House of Crackers first started up nearly a decade ago, The Chocolate Lip Gloss was one of our very first gift ideas. It was a great success but rather irritatingly it disappeared from the radar and we simply couldn't track it down anywhere. The good news is, it's back and it's as convincing as ever! NOT to be consumed! (assorted chocolate...designs)
Owl torches, owl fob watches...only a matter of time before Owl Lip Gloss hit the streets. 
You know a foxy lady? Job done! Fox Lip Gloss.

An old joke just got updated! Available in 4 different colours

Imagine our disappointment when the latest craze wouldn't fit inside a cracker. Then along comes the two blade propeller Infinity Spinner...heavens be praised! We have tried a great many spinners (avoid the cube, very expensive and doesn't spin for long) and this is in a league of its own, it truly does live up to its name. It comes in a smart box (which won't fit inside your cracker) and will help to relieve any stress over Christmas and beyond...mine sits by my armchair. Suitable for adults and children over 10. Not inexpensive but a knock-out cracker gift.
