A box of 125 long matchsticks featuring a Winter Joy snowflake design

Add a finish of winter crispness and design flair with the Winter Joy Matchbox - a beautifully designed square matchbox that blends practicality with festive elegance. The deep-blue background is centred with a striking white snowflake and the words “Winter Joy” embossed in shimmering gold - an instant statement on your mantel, coffee table or perfect as a thoughtful gift.

Inside you’ll find 125 natural-wood matches (100mm long, black sticks with white tips) neatly held in a crisp white tray. The box measures 110 x 110 x 30 mm - striking in every sense.

Each box is letterpress-printed in the UK and wrapped in compostable cello; the wood is FSC certified, so you can enjoy both style and sustainability.

Features at a glance:

  • 125 natural-stick matches (100 mm long, white tips)

  • Sustainable materials: FSC certified wood, compostable cello wrap

  • Dimensions: 110 x 110 x 30 mm

  • Hand-printed letterpress with gold foil

  • Designed to bring character to your home or to give as a thoughtful gift

Care instructions:
These are natural-product matches and may have slight variations. While each has been tested, we recommend striking gently (easy does it!) and doing so away from yourself and over a non-combustible surface.

Bring a little spark of seasonal design and joy to your space - the Winter Joy Matches are more than fire-starters: they’re a design piece that speaks to the subtly of the season.

FAQs

What wax do you use in your candles?

All of our candles are made using biodegradable, vegan friendly soy wax, manufactured in the UK from pure soybean oil. Unlike with paraffin wax candles, soy wax candles burn cleanly with no sooting, so our candles won't mark your walls or ceilings.

Learn all about the difference between soy wax and paraffin wax here.

Why do you use wooden wicks?

We use wooden wicks in our candles because they are more sustainable than traditional cotton wicks, and burn with a delightful, subtle crackling sound.

Read more about why we use wooden wicks here.

How do I look after my wooden wick candle?

All of our candles come with candle care information in the box, it's super simple:

1) Light your candle from the base of the wick, closest to the wax

2) Trim your wick to 4mm before each burn (no special tools required, fingertips work perfectly for trimming wooden wicks)

It really is that simple, but if you'd like to read more about how to look after your wooden wick candle you can do so here.

Our Single Wick Candle (220g/7.4oz) burn time is 45 hours

Our 3 Wick Candle (400g/14oz) burn time is 75 hours
