Six party crackers shaped like birthday candles, which is a better idea than it has any right to be.
Christmas has had crackers to itself for a hundred and fifty years. There is no reason a birthday table cannot have the same moment, and these give it one. Each cracker is a bright striped candle, and each one pulls open to a surprise mix of confetti, a small metal charm, and a printed affirmation to read out loud.
Set one at every place setting and they double as decoration until the moment somebody pulls. Or stand them in a jar as a centerpiece, drop them into goodie bags, or hand them out at the end of the night so everyone leaves with something small. Six to a set, which covers a kids' table or half an adult one.
What are party crackers? Party crackers are decorative paper tubes that two people pull apart until they snap open, releasing confetti, small charms, and printed messages. Long a Christmas tradition, they now come in birthday and holiday designs for use at any celebration.
