Where can I get an actual nutcracker?

[jeaniebueller]

Bed, bath and Beyond? Kohls?

[looseseal]

I think I've seen those at the Younkers home store in years past, but I haven't been in there this year.

[bangbang]

World Market should have some

The ones at Target are decorative. The best ones that are real are German and expensive. So we have one from Target.

How about a decorative one and then also one of those metal handheld thingies that actually work?

We just use the metal ones but this has always made me laugh:

Some of the Kurt Adler ones on Amazon apparently are functioning nut crackers. With Prime, they could be there in time and they're not super pricey.

I've been thinking that this is our plan. Because girlfriend is not getting an $188 nutcracker. I'm not rolling in blogger money.

Preach. L wanted one a couple years ago and I was like $14, YES. $200, NO.

I saw a few genuine Steinbach ones at Marshall's this weekend for $50.

I've seen them for sale in the lobby of the local production of The Nutcracker. Maybe call your local theatre/check out their gift shop.

[emsumm]

Costco maybe?

[snipsnsnails]

I've seen them at TJ Maxx/Marshall's!

Good luck!

I suggest buy a cute cheap one and tell her it works, "forget" to buy nuts, then bam you have to pack it away after Christmas is over and hope she forgets this by next year

My kid is 8 and not stupid. Plus we always have nuts around. This would never work.

We got a decorative soldier nutcracker, and a separate one that works that's shaped like a reindeer.

Aw nuts. Literally lol. My 6yo is already onto my game!

And you always have crackable nuts around?! You are doing better than me lol!

www.nutcrackerballetgifts.com is where we've ordered from in the past. Idk if this will be soon enough to help but ours are very nice. Not super expensive.

[kalil]

Oh nvm ours don't crack nuts.

Oh hello.  Is your H still a Trump supporter?

Damn spreadsheets! No he isn't. He decided a couple of months ago Trump is a lunatic. He isn't really sure who he supports at this point since he doesn't feel any GOP candidates possibly worthy of the nomination will make it.

[Bonita]

They had some at Cracker Barrel the other day when I ran in to get a gift card, maybe if you have one of those close by yours would also have them?
