If anyone has Tuesday Morning stores near them, they carry crackers there every year in many different patterns. That’s where I got mine.

I have found crackers at all the places mentioned but I think I have found the best ones at Marshalls. I have gotten them there the past 3 years. My kids love them.

I saw them at Cost Plus World Market here in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of U.K. goodies as well.

I spotted them in our World Market last week. They had several options, including mini ones and regular-sized ones. We only have three in our family, so I was resisting buying a huge package of them, but I suppose I could take a few to co-workers. I had crackers when I lived in Scotland as a child, but my Anglophile hubby (who only visited the UK for the first time three years ago), has only heard of them, he’s never had any.

I just came by to say that, though I know it by its older name, Cost Plus. Great minds think alike!

Also if anyone has a World Market near by (an excellent store for buying international items) they carry a good selection of Christmas crackers every year! http://www.worldmarket.com

You can find them at GillianCrackers too! We fill the crackers in keeping with the original Victorian tradition with games, puzzles, sweets, paper hat and a Christmas tree decoration. We deliver throughout Canada and the USA.

Cheers!

Don’t forget to check with your local British Shoppe or tearoom. Start your search with Anglotopia’s “Brit Business in USA’.

In recent years I’ve found them at Walmart, of all places, with the New Year’s Eve stuff! Unfortunately that means they sometimes don’t put them out until after Christmas.

I realised that crackers aren’t a standard American part of Christmas, but to have to buy them from a fireworks store sounds really wierd!

Okay, so they go bang, but they’re less explosive than one single match and I can buy a whole box of matches (and a box of crackers, come to think of it) from my local supermarket!

Or maybe their sale is restricted in certain US States because they’ve realised how BAD the jokes inside are?! I still love crackers, though!

P.S. Typical British joke found inside a cracker – What’s the difference between a jailer and a jeweller? One sells watches, the other watches cells.
