UP TO £10

Santa Sleigh Game Crackers, £6, Morrisons

Fun and modern character crackers with Santas, penguins and reindeer. Traditional coloured paper hats inside and must-have dreadful jokes. We loved the characters in sledges racing game. Kept us occupied for hours. Verdict: Great fun for kids of all ages 10/10

Home 6 Luxury Crackers, £7.50, Sainsbury’s

Simple and understated – looked a lot more expensive than they were in white and gold with pretty glittery ribbons and balls finish. Made a decent bang and contained gold hats, jokes, trivia and sports questions. Presents included compact mirror, keyring and yo-yo. Verdict: Perfect to dress the table 7.5/10

Irresistible 6 Luxury Christmas Crackers, £10, The Co-op

Vintage 30s-style rose gold and black numbers that made a decent noise. Shiny gold hats that fit our heads perfectly, usual cheery jokes and trivia and presents that included a heart padlock, phone stylus and mini screwdriver set. Verdict: Very classy and good quality 9/10

8 Luxury Christmas Crackers, £9.99, Aldi

Looked a little old-fashioned but were made of decent quality paper. The bang was OK, not as impressive as some of the others. Fun festive jokes, charades and trivia. The gifts were good and included measuring spoons, keyring and pen.

Verdict: The hats were weird 6.5/10
