London's best Christmas crackers: the charitable cracker

This is my third annual round-up of the best Christmas crackers around - both in London and online. I admit that I have a bit of a thing about this very English tradition, from the silly hats and jokes to the surprise trinkets that come tumbling out. I'll be profiling a new cracker each day this week, so stay tuned...

Cracker crib notes:
What? Purple Peacock Feather Crackers
From? Liberty.
How much? £29.95
The booty? Each of the six handmade crackers include ‘gift’-donations to a Variety Club charity, such as helping to pay for a sports wheelchair or giving a gift to a child in need. And for every box Liberty will donate £10 to the Charities Advisory Trust.

I love them - great for the world and my concious, as well as undeniably pretty!

Of course, by consious I actually meant conscience, but I can't type...

That is such a great idea! Another way to feel good on christmas day.Do you still get a hat though?

[Gourmet Chick]

SO much better than the crappy toys you usually get inside christmas crackers

Stunning colour with that peacock plume! ...and for a very good cause too.

I love this! Might need to pick some up for our holiday dinner. Much prefer this to plastic yo-yo's and all the other junk!
