What began as a friendship seven years ago turned into a successful ‘manufacturing’ business three years ago. Through trial and error they have designed and produced a beautiful product - colourful, stylish and well made. In order to get a louder “crack” they tried two snaps instead of one and very nearly set fi re to a test “cracker”; they de- cided this was not a good idea! They source better made small things to put into the crackers, and will make them to order. They also designed a large ‘slide’ cracker which could contain anything from a bottle of wine to chocolates or whatever the client wishes. They advertised in House and Garden and found themselves with requests from the corporate market for Christmas presents. Last year they used 50 kgs of Roses chocolates Diversifying, they now sell do it yourself kits and arrange parties where participants can be taught how to make them. Full of other ideas, these two women who obviously enjoy one an- other’s company should go far! The last dinner meeting for the year is to be held on Tuesday, December 18. 352TC038-07
