Monster Crackers

The Mommies Reviews

As we ring in the holiday season, we would like to introduce you to a Brooklyn-born line of holiday ornamentsMonster Crackers – a fun spin on your classic holiday nutcracker and a perfect present for Halloween-lovers, Christmas-lovers, and everyone else in between.

Along with being a welcome change from the stereotypical reindeer, Santa and snowmen of Christmas past, Monster Crackers aims to crush gender-norms and underrepresentation and prove that classic Christmas ornament isn’t just what it’s been cracked up to be.

Shining a light on the status quo of today’s society, the monsters of Monster Crackers represent underrepresented, marginalized communities with their range of characters not usually found in kid’s stories or on a Christmas tree.

Monster Crackers magnify the presence of strong women, independent children, queer and non-binary role models, by being anything but the traditional Christmas nutcracker, with their unique traits and personalities.

Unlike your average soldier dude nutcracker, Monster Crackers emphasizes the beauty in the diversity of each “monster” to inspire both children and adults to have the courage to be yourself when you feel a little different. 

Monster Crackers is expanding the meaning of the holiday season with both their products and illustrated children’s books of tales about individuality and self-acceptance.

A great gift for the holidays as well as year-round for your loved ones, available gift sets range from one mystery ornament for $25, to themed sets like “Girl Power,” and the chance to “Become a Monster Cracker” in a custom illustration.

The line of 15 collectible hand-crafted, solid wood ornaments is currently available on http://www.monstercrackers.com or at their New York URBANSPACE locations in the Union Square Holiday Market and Columbus Circle Holiday Market.

It’s hard to find Gifts Charlie and David haven’t seen in the store which is why I would like to get Charlie Frankie Flat Top. For David I would like to get Marco Smash.

If these two don’t float your boat check out Monster Crackers where you can pick your own out and yes, before you ask. There are GIRL Monster Crackers Princess Uni.
