Christmas wouldn't be complete without party crackers. In Ireland we estimate that over 10 million are pulled every year! Laid end-to-end, they would stretch from here to the North Pole!

So we're partnering with Keep this Cracker to bring you the last box of crackers you'll ever buy. Because re-use is *the best* thing we can all do for the environment.

Unlike most crackers, 'Keep This Cracker' fill-your-own options come flat-packed, ready to be popped into shape. You fill them with your own small gifts / jokes / etc. They're made in Europe and wrapped and shipped entirely plastic-free. And most importantly...the patented construction allows the user to easily replace the snap without any glue or mess...so you can use them again next year!

These crackers do "bang" when pulled, but don't tear. To reuse, simply
replace the snaps (which you can also buy from us). Full instructions are included.

What it contains: Flat-pack of 6 re-usable crackers, with 6 snaps and recycled-plastic ribbons for closing them, and 6 gift-tags.

Dimensions of each cracker: When made-up, the area to fill with a gift is 11.5 x 5.5 x 5.5cm, while the entire cracker is 30cm long

These wraps are a fabulous, minimal waste way of wrapping anything from produce and wine bottles to clothes & gifts. Give a gift wrapped in our wrapping cloths for a fun, plastic free gift experience.

What are they made from?

100% Cotton.

Medium cloths approx 48cm X 48cm
Large cloths approx 98cm X 98 cm

Why are we obsessed?

Did you know most wrapping paper isn't recyclable? Wrapping cloths have been a tradition in Japan (known as furoshiki) and Korea (known as Bojagi) forever.

Each cloth comes with a little card that you can put inside with the present telling the giftee all about the art of furoshiki and how their wrapping cloths can be reused!
