  • A time-limited offer reduces the OK! crackers from £29.99 to £24.99 for 12 days, with Bristol Live reporting prices are due to revert on October 27.
  • The Skin Therapy cracker is billed at over £100 in value, anchored by the Canopy Retinal Ritual Eye Cream priced at £43 alongside products from Bioderma and Nip + Fab.
  • Shoppers have broad options across retailers, including Next’s £22 Festive Glow Skincare Cracker advertised as worth over £80, plus sets from Jo Malone, Iconic London and Ariana Grande.
  • Premium picks are available too, such as Flannels’ £165 cracker claimed to be worth £551, with journalists advising buyers to check contents and expect fast sell-outs.
