'Whether it's ten crackers, or ten thousand, we make them all by hand'

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

One of the staples of any Christmas celebration is the humble Christmas Cracker. Although it would seem that not all crackers are quite so humble. Geine Pressendo and her partner make bespoke 'high-end' crackers which get shipped to clients all over the world. Whether it's an order for 10 or 10,000 - they're all hand made at their company headquarters on the Leicestershire border. Geine tells Ben Jackson about a special order they're finishing for the Ritz hotel.
