London based pastry maker, Tom Smith, invented the Christmas cracker after a trip to France where he was inspired by their bonbon treats. When he returned to London he tried selling the paper wrapped sugared almonds himself with little success. That is until inspiration struck one night as he sat listening to the snaps and pops of his fireplace. What if he could make the treats crackle like the fire when opened? Little did he know that this thought would be the beginning of a timeless Christmas tradition. Crackers evolved from treats to notes, and finally to the trinket-filled, paper wrapped, popping cardboard tubes we know today. Crackers are a perfect addition to your Christmas morning traditions and now you can include your pet too.

This box includes one individual 13-inch long cracker containing a small pet toy. Each of the crackers three segments wrapped in classic Caspari paper and separated by a bow. All designs include a charming die-cut applique. Individuals or partners grab the end segments and pull to open the center section with a “bang” and reveal the toy inside.
