Jiminy Crackers CEO Sharon Keilthy, which offers reusable and refillable crackers, said there are lots of options.
"They're sturdy cardboard and they're set up that you replace the snap everytime after you've used it," she said.
"You fill it with whatever you want yourself.
"I've used our set for three Christmases now, they're going into their fourth Christmas.
"In the past I have filled them with things like guessing game cards, jokes that my daughter wrote, photographs of happy memories, little puzzle pieces or more useful gifts that I knew my family would make use of".
Ms Keilthy said the crackers save on a lot of waste.
"They're plastic free and it means you not having to go out and buy [crackers] every year," she said.
"They're there with the Christmas decorations, stored year-to-year, so they avoid a lot waste".
"In Ireland, we estimate that about 10 million crackers are pulled every year.
"If we laid those end-to-end, they'd stretch from Ireland to the North Pole," she added.
