Handbell Christmas Decoration Favors - Set of 8 Music Favors containing Metal Handbells (not Whistles) and Sheet Music for Playing Your own Holiday Tunes

They were good quality and the bells made a nice sound. It was fun, but...For the high price of the crackers I would expect the ‘music’ to be right!I’m pretty sure at least 5 of the songs are printed incorrectly.In general this wasn’t a problem as our kids had fun figuring out the real tunes but c’mon Robin Reed, did no-one check them before printing?!?!Best example the kids played for us was Chittt Chitty Bang Bang - boy did that sound weird!

Prompt delivery. Some bells we're duplicates, some notes missing. Made it impossible to create provided music accurately.

I ordered these based on the fact that they were handbells. Once opening each cracker we quickly realized they were whistles. We love the whistles they are so much fun. But we've had the whistles for the past two holidays and thought the handbells would be something different. We just got sent the wrong item and there is no way of knowing until you pop them open.

So much fun! This is a new tradition for my family. We look forward to trying to play the songs that come with these crackers. Sometimes, they are actually recognizable! 😂😂 Usually, we collapse in fits of laughter.

These were a huge hit! The bells ring true and after just a couple of tries the house rang with Christmas tunes

As other have observed, although the item is advertised as "Robin Reed Handbell Christmas Decoration Favors - Set of 8 Music Favors containing Metal Handbells ...", the item received includes whistles, not bells.To make matters worse, the "sheet music" included with the set sometimes doesn't match the intended melodies; e.g. it seems to transpose some of the tunes to a dorian scale (tone center on the second note of a major scale).The only saving grace is that they are, in fact, Christmas crackers, so they do snap, they do include the expected crepe paper crowns are delightfully awful jokes.And if you're familiar with musical scales, you can make up your own "sheet music" (instructions) to use the whistles. We had some fun doing so.Caveat emptor

The delivery of the package was bang on time, but the box unfortunately contained the cheap whistles and not the hand bells, although the bar code label added to the box stated handbells. We duly reported the problem, returned the box and ordered another one. Again, it arrived on time but again, whistles labelled hand bells. As Brits living in the States we take our crackers very seriously!! The handbell ones are lovely, we’ve had some before but want some extra ones for family. If we’d have wanted whistles we’d have gone to TJs!
