How long do Tom Smith chutneys and jams typically stay fresh after I open them?

To enjoy the peak artisanal flavor of our Tom Smith preserves, we recommend consuming them within 4 to 6 weeks once opened. Because they are handcrafted with high-quality natural ingredients and no artificial preservatives, they should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their traditional British taste and texture.

Are the Tom Smith biscuits and baked goods suitable for gifting to someone with dietary restrictions?

The Tom Smith collection is a favorite for gift-givers due to its premium packaging and authentic British recipes. While many of our classic biscuits contain traditional flour and butter, we do offer specific options within the range that cater to various dietary needs. Please check the individual product descriptions for full allergen listings and ingredient origins to ensure the perfect match for your recipient.

What are the best ways to serve Tom Smith savory spreads for a traditional British experience?

For a truly authentic experience, pair our Tom Smith savory spreads with artisanal cheeses and crusty bread. Our chutneys are particularly delicious alongside a sharp British cheddar or as a accompaniment to roasted meats. For those hosting, these spreads act as a perfect centerpiece for a grazing board or a traditional afternoon tea spread.

Tom Smith - British Christmas Crackers Since 1847

The Christmas cracker was invented by Tom Smith, a London confectioner, in the 1840s, and the brand still makes them. If you have never pulled one: two people take an end, it bangs, and out falls a paper crown, a small gift and a joke that is deliberately terrible.

In stock now: 6x14 inch Premium crackers in Gold, Silver, Arctic Animals and Christmas Town, 8x12.5 inch Family crackers in Traditional, Gold and Nutcrackers, and the 6x8 inch Luxury Tree crackers in Gold, Silver and Kraft.

Premium and Deluxe boxes hold better gifts, Family boxes are the sensible buy for a full table. Everyone wears the crown for the whole meal, and nobody is allowed to complain about the jokes. Imported by us and shipped from Massachusetts.

Buy British Christmas Crackers Online in the USA
Christmas crackers are the part of a British Christmas dinner that Americans find hardest to picture and easiest to adopt. They sit on the plate, get pulled before the food arrives, and the paper crowns stay on for the rest of the meal.

Box Sizes, Gift Quality and Buying Ahead
The measurement on the box is the number of crackers by their length in inches, so 6x14 means six large crackers. Larger crackers hold better gifts. Family boxes of eight cover a full table at a lower cost per cracker. These sell out rather than restock, so ordering in autumn is the safe move.

FAQ

Q1: What is inside a Christmas cracker?
A paper crown, a small gift or novelty, and a printed joke. Better boxes hold better gifts.

Q2: How do you pull a cracker?
Two people take one end each and pull. It splits with a bang and the contents fall out.

Q3: Can crackers be shipped?
Yes, they ship within the United States. The snap inside is a tiny strip of card, not a firework.
