Has anyone actually kept anything they got from a Christmas cracker?

[Lamp]

Got a miniature screwdriver set somewhere. Actually used it once.

Bought some nice ones this year.

Yes, yes, I know they're a waste of money blah blah, but, well, you know, its Xmas......so meh

Yep, I have some decent nail clippers from an expensive cracker, also got a really handy LED torch on a keyring that has been a lifesaver twice in the last 12 months.

 

[leviathane]

them tiny screwdrivers are uesless though, i used em once and the head came off in my hand. I always enjoy the basketball thing for about 5mins, then its gets boring n give it to lil bro.

I got a small photo frame and I keep a picture of my rabbit Benji in it by my desk; I also have some of those small plastic motorbikes and an elephant lol don't know why I kept them I just did!

ooh and I have one of those nails that look like they're stuck through your finger but fit round it with a bit of curved plastic and you go 'aargh I stabbed myself with a naaaail!!!' and fool no one.

Bottle opener keyring. I somehow manage to get a new one each year!

One of those metal things you try to figure out. Like how to get the hoop off the two joined bits. Amusing watching halfwits give up and cry.

[Moriath]

[Lamp]

what about sex during the Xmas meal? Probably frowned upon.

I'm trying to reach the salt, but Uncle Jerry's arse is moving up & down too fast

I kept a miniture comb for about 5 years when i were a lad and shep were a pup. I never used it like. Was from a box of woolworths 99p crackers, yanno, the ones that dont even go bang

I used to love those squirt rings you used to get. Used to squirt my sister & she used to grass me up lol. You could get a couple of teaspoons of water in them. Going back to the 70s / early 80s. Prob can't get them anymore

Miniature penknife with blade, philips head screwdriver, bottle open, can opener and screwdriver.

Think it's about 6 or 7 years old now, no way you'd get a penknife in a christmas cracker these days

A little bit of paper that had a Q&A on one side

Q. what is the capital of Ethiopia
A. Addis Ababa

and a joke about cannibalism on the other

I'm found it a bit unsettling for some reason (I was drunk mind you) so I slipped it into my wallet where it stayed for 5/6 years I think

You can still get pez everywhere.

I put my xmas decs up yesterday and found a small whistle shaped like a steam train, a green plastic hair grip with flowers on and one of those little puzzles where you have to slide the tiles over to make a picture. I'd forgotten but I use them as decorations, it looks quite sweet to use little toys on the tree

OMG! I had that!

 

[Fast]

I had that as well, loved it. Well remembered lamp.

 

[sayward]

I remember getting extremely drunk at a firm's Christmas 'do' and crawling round, in a long evening dress, under tables collecting everyone else's cracker contents. Goodness knows what the top brass thought! I still have them too, little Christmas tree ornaments.

Thread resurrection.

Many years back I was at a Embassy dinner in Mumbai. I got a metal puzzle game inside my cracker. It sits on my desk at home for when i'm waiting for something to happen in WvW Even tho i know how to solve it, it still takes a few mins to take apart and put back together.

Its special as the Americans dont have crackers at Christmas, but they got some in as they were hosting the UK Consulate at the time

Its like the two on the right, but a bit more complex.

Tiffany keyring - went to a very posh Christmas lunch in The City about ten years ago; was gobsmacked when I got a 100 quid bit of jewellery in my cracker.
