Crack ‘em up

Make this Thanksgiving memorable with the help of Pier 1’s party crackers — a Thanksgiving version of the British Christmas tradition. It’s sure to kick your holiday dinner off with a bang! The favors are wrapped in gold paper and a wide ribbon festooned with autumn leaves. When the ends of the crackers are pulled simultaneously, they do indeed “crack!” and either a toy or a hat and joke tumble out. Recommended for ages 3 and older, so put one on each plate this Turkey Day!
