About us

Hi, I am Bea Thackeray designer and inventor of Keep This Cracker, the Reusable Eco Christmas Cracker, you can pull!

Never one to shy away from a challenge, I wanted to see if it was possible to make a Party Cracker you could reuse. With a flash of inspiration and a pile of prototypes later, I launched my first collection in July 2013. Since then I have continually innovated and improved my offering, finding more ways to be plastic free and eco-friendly.


See my blog if you'd like to learn more about how and why I came up with this idea. Read my full bio in LinkedIn (tap on the social media link below)

Keep This Cracker is a reusable cracker made of card. It pulls apart into two sections, without tearing, so you can easily reuse it. Do this by removing the old snap and replace it with a new one, no fuss no glue. See the How-To page for more instructions.

The crackers come in reusable wallets, flat-packed and ready to assemble. No cheap trinkets in sight. Fill them with your own chosen gifts your family and friends will love. Once pulled, pack your crackers away in the wallet, ready for another occasion.

'Keep This Cracker' has been a finalist in three awards;

• 'Gift of the Year' Highly Commended in two categories, 'Ethical Product', and 'Festive & Occasions'.
• 'Small Awards' - Sole to Sole
• 'Stationery Matters' - Gift Packaging & Wrap
