I’ve noticed that people often go for a combination gift rather than a standalone statement. There could be many reasons for this, but it stands to reason that having a lot of little things can feel bigger than one statement gift.

On today’s episode of Perfect Pairings, I wanted to put together one of our most classic products with one of our newest: candles, and matchboxes.
Candles have always been a staple in our little shop, and is actually the reason it exists in the first place. I actually make these! One of the reasons that got me into the candle business was working in a gift shop around the holidays and seeing how the candle shelf emptied itself before my eyes. They’re an easy gift, well-received, don’t have to clutter, and there’s infinite variations in existence.
Recently Piecework launched their new line of premium Matchboxes, which like their signature puzzles are quirky, colorful, and delightful. They’re a little fancy with their magnetic-clasp box and long stems, so they do make for good gifts. An elevated houseware that also doesn't clutter is rare gem. And, since each box is themed, it makes pairing them to a candle pretty simple.
