On Christmas Day up and down the country a scene is repeated in countless homes: crackers are pulled, chuckled over for a couple of minutes, and then promptly forgotten about and thrown away – millions of plastic gifts destined for landfill. Liz Hebbron of Eco Magpie decided there must be a more environmentally friendly alternative.
“I wanted to make crackers that were full of joyful things instead of junk that ends up in the oceans – gifts that people will keep and treasure.” Liz crafts Christmas crackers from upcycled, repurposed maps and books with unique handmade gifts from local makers and found vintage objects. The crackers are not only beautiful but 100 per cent recycled and designed to bring lasting pleasure to their recipients with thoughtful gifts. Not only that, but you can bring a bit of outdoor swimming joy to your Christmas dinner table with wild swimming themed crackers!
