Why do I always get nail clippers?I have so many of the damned things littering my house at present.The strange thing is whenever I NEED to clip my nails I can't find any of them.Can I call this a Loser's lore or is it down to old Murphy again.The other gift that seems to tumble out of crackers on a regular basis is dice.Can never find them either.

Well, if you're serious:
1) little plastic magnifying glass that was so badly warped and scratched that you couldn't see through it at all.
2) little plastic (3") ruler with flow-chart template shaped holes.
3) other cracker pullers at xmas dinner were the lucky winners of (place the words "little plastic" in front of all the following items): whistle, comb, scissors, frog, beetle, bracelet, ear rings, finger ring, hair slide.
All very useful, I'm sure you'll agree. Sounds as though you had posh, expensive crackers at your do. We always have the cheapest, tackiest crackers available - it's a serious tradition.

We have home made crackers (snob) complete with hats and bangs as usual, but with 'proper presents' tailored to the recipient. Problem is, you begin to run out of appropriate gifts that will fit, and you do get funny looks wandering around shops trying to shove items into toilet roll tubes, just to try them for size...
Just thought that a condom would fit nicely - won't do for granny's cracker though
