A little house that holds a box of matches. The front is an illustrated florist's shop, its window full of bouquets, set under a yellow striped roof and a bright blue door.

Archivist has been drawing these house-shaped matchboxes for years, and they tend to get collected rather than used up. As proud owners of Britain’s largest dedicated letterpress printing facility they have some serious heritage.

This one looks at home on a kitchen shelf or perched beside a candle, ready when you need it, a delightful object in itself with a useful purpose. The matches inside are proper safety matches, struck on the strip along the side of the box.

A small useful thing with a lot of charm, and an easy gift for anyone who likes the everyday objects around them to be worth looking at.
