Yhep...practical! Who the hell wants something useful in their Christmas cracker? You want a frivolous piece of plastic tat to take the mickey out of, don't you? Some people!
Fish pen-knives were very common when I was a kid, and I think they still appear in mid-budget-range crackers, while the little yellow one is more of a novelty or blunt letter-opener! The tyre-compass is an unbranded scale-down of the branded ash-trays actual tyre manufacturers used to give out as promotional items, although this one's lost it's magnetism!
Nail clippers and nail files, still available in a box of crackers near you in the next week! The mini stacking-tower infant toy is here by default; it should be in one of the other posts, but got left out!

I am astonished as to the prizes that can in found in consumer goods. A box of crackers! However, a fish knife would be a grand prize where ever it might be found. I must say, it is a grand posting as well.
Cheers Jan...I hope people have got something from this series of posts, if only a laugh! Two to go...
