    I’m an American who happened to be in London for my birthday on vacation. My parents took me to have tea at Harrod’s after we visited Westminster Abbey & took pictures in front of Buckingham Palace. One of my best birthday’s ever.

      I never thought any crackers were even made at basicly£116.66pence each.

      @@moonglow630 That was a good deal even if 2017. When I Iived nearer I always took foreign guests to Harrods for something to eat. I've never forgotten I took German friends once & one chap ate the meal in 3 mouthfuls & said hmmm nice whats the main meal? 😂😂
      It cost me a fortune with ice creams & coffees to fill them up. Then the bill came & as I signed it their jaws dropped at how much each mouthful must have cost!! 🤣🤣

      Having a "hard candy Christmas" here too. Celebrate ANYWAY. We decorate our Christmas tree with edible decorations, including, after the actual event, peanut butter and seed balls as ornaments. We move the tree from our living room to the front yard. For the next month; all the birds and deer celebrate! No tinsel and glass ornaments to pack away no aggravating strings of lights. Popcorn, cranberry strings...etc. Except for the tiny straw goats on it the rest is put out to eat. No actual "expense" over locating a tree; and the labor to decorate. gifts are handmade or necessary. (electric blanket; knife sharpening set, warmer clothing.) Not a penny spent on gifts that are unwanted or unneeded. We make the ornaments together; sing, bake....and distribute...there is "celebrating Christmas" and "trying to impress your neighbors with your wealth." Face it most of us can't do that, at least, this year. It's okay! It's Christmas and have fun. It is relatively inexpensive to give gifts of preserved food or baked goods. Everyone EATS. as long as you allow for personal taste...and medical conditions....this one doesn't eat meat, this one doesn't eat sugar, etc. You have to KNOW your neighbors for this one. New neighbors? Bread, jam, pickles and a wish for a better new year. Our newest neighbors are Hindi; and the gesture was recognized. (we attended a Ganesh ceremony with them) SING Carols! Dance! You don't need money to do these things, and they make you feel good. DO NOT compare your Christmas with that of others. Make it what YOU WANT.

    Merry Christmas from America. This video popped up on my feed on Christmas Eve. The fact on the card about the author of Winnie the Pooh purchasing a bear from the store for his son and that was the inspiration for him writing the books was a lovely fact. The sleep mask was made of 100% silk, and someone could bring the voucher in and purchase a nice quality silk blouse and have some money off is a good deal. I think the point of the crackers is that YOU gave joy to six people who played the game and all of the people who watched on RUclips. That was worth the price - I was awake in the middle of the night and you gave me a smile on Christmas Eve. We are having terrible weather this Christmas all over the the country this night - I woke up to massive lightning storm and rain and hail tonight. Because of this video I became a new subscriber. The crackers were worth it - divide the cost by how many people will see this video - then realize it was worth the entertainment value - we are not all going to London, but we can see you go in and shop. 🎉 Be pleased with your purchase - we all got a bang out of it. My favorite gift inside was the Waterford ornament, then the leather card holder. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year 🍾 🥂

      Mine was the socks... Quality socks are lush and warm ...
      If I drank I would have loved the quality of the stopper and bottle opener... Or a good room spray is always nice ..
      I could not see any light refraction on the butterfly and the label on a card holder does nothing for me ..
      The eye mask I assume is quality silk that was ok as well ..
      The presentation of the crackers was beautiful.
      2 of the jokes I found good and the facts were interesting enough.
      The crowns stayed on and looked ok for cardboard.
      Were they worth it, probably yes.... Most crackers have a huge mark up..
      Would I buy some, hell no... ...
      Would I buy some if I had throwaway money... Maybe as a bit of fun but I would donate the same amount to charity... 700£ is a lot of money to spend on tat... ( I did enjoy your video though
      But rich people probably spend more on caviar or a bottle of wine...
      It's like those of us who buy cheaper crackers.... I buy mine after Christmas in the sales...

      If you go to your GP and they think your hormones might be messed up for whatever reason, they check progesterone and testosterone because they both can cause changes in your body if there's a problem. I can't remember why exactly, but the small amount of testosterone women have is really important. Same as men would have their progesterone tested as well as testosterone because that can cause problems for them. Obviously if the test is designed for men specifically then you'll get an "abnormal" result but testosterone is important if you experience any menstruation issues or weird symptoms

      A gentle reminder; price and value are not the same. We'll be thrilled with our $40 Robin Reed crackers.

      When the Waterford Ornament came out I thought, "Oh, these are going to be really good!" and it was downhill from there. Socks? Really? I wasn't expecting gold bars, but socks?

      @@Nightenstaff I agree, however opinions aren't facts and the facts say it costs £700 and the value is £620. To buy a car brand new and drive it off the lot you'd loose percentage wise more than that and people do it daily... Value is subjective and some rich tosser might really like them socks 🤣

    If you add the value of the gifts plus the vouchers and the two emeralds (which might be real) on each cracker, I think this box was well worth it. The Waterford ornament alone is very expensive and collectable, the wine stopper and opener is quite expensive too.
    Your business card holder can be worth upwards of £40,00.
    You got your monies worth.
    🎄 Merry Christmas !

    This was hilarious. I’m American (Michigan), and we don’t have crackers. This was fun. I’m glad you won the last one. Your friend was a great sport. I would do the same thing.

    Clever advertising with the voucher though.......... Merry Christmas all !
