The calm traveller from the high-end CBD brand is a wonderful treat that offers a chance to find a sanctuary of calm to reset.

The handmade chocolates are some of the best we’ve tasted – we’ve come to expect nothing less of Melt London – and our testing duo’s favourite was the seasonal white chocolate and cranberry. Inside you’ll find a nifty trinket for your kitchen drawers, such as a bottle opener, a money clip or a selection of cookie cutters.

If you’re looking for a more sustainable offering, these reusable crackers from Etsy are our top choice. On the reverse of the tag is a QR code that takes you to a joke and a challenge that will have everyone around the table in fits.

We expect more retailers will unveil their Christmas cracker offerings over the coming months, so we’ll update this page with our favourite new launches once they land.The crackers come with enough snaps and gold paper crowns for three parties and are ready to fill with gifts of your choice. They’ll also be keen to don their special party hats and share the rib-tickling jokes around the table. Think the White Truffle Toastie recipe with small grater or the Red Salad with Beetroot recipe with a mini oil pourer. We love that these come in a robust presentation box that can be used for storage until next year to keep these beauties in perfect condition.

Forget novelty plastic products; inside these crackers you’ll find a mini beauty gift from French brand L'Occitane, known for its high-end skincare products. They'll look at home placed on the Christmas tree before the big day, plus there's a little paper decoration in each to use once pulled. The packaging was predominantly recyclable cardboard, except for the bows, but we’ll be reusing these to decorate next year’s gifts. Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. Having these on the Christmas table means we can do away with separate chocolate favours on the big day, as the three richly indulgent titbits inside are more than enough after what’s often the heaviest meal we’ll eat all year.

And, these mini Christmas crackers will do just the trick as a post-dinner treat or can be placed on the Christmas tree.
