A matchless gift.
Wanna light up someone’s life? These little matches are cute-as-can-be in a cork-topped glass tube with a strike pad handily underneath—and make a brilliant gift. OK, we’ll stop. But the slightly-larger-than-normal sizing makes these matches ultra-grippable and those colors? Consider us charmed.

Not what they appear to be
I needed fireplace matches with a match holder for the family room fireplace. For some reason fireplace matches are in short supply in the normal stores and I found these on the internet. The picture shown above seems to represent fairly long 9" or 10" matches, but when I got them they were not more than 4" or 5"!! The container was just an ordinary short glass container with a match strike glued on the bottom. Nothing worth $37!! I ordered the color-tipped matches, but got just matches with silver tips.
The company accepted my complaint and promptly issued a full refund.

Stay lit!
These matches look great on your counter while also easy to light and stay lit whereas regular kitchen matches go out so quickly. The long match also makes sure you won’t get burned.
