I've always had an obsession with matchbooks. They are always handy when lighting candles, and can double as a great home accessory.
When I was shopping online (standard) I came across Design Darling's amazing selection. They are so bright and really add a touch of prep to the standard set.
But when I was at Barney's in Chicago my heart skipped a beat.
Long matchbooks that aren't dinky and for fireplaces? AND are french?! Still my beating heart.
My favorite matchbooks are below. I'm in love.

Oh, and of course you need to have a great candle to light. Diptque will always be my favorite. What is your favorite candle?

I adore Design Darling's matchbooks!
Linnea's Lights candles smell fresh and amazing and Cire Trudon candles are beyond gorgeous - but it's hard not to keep coming back to Diptique. They're so perfect!
I used to be scared of fire as a kid, and I'm still not particularly good with matches or lighters that aren't those clicky 10" handheld lighters. But when I lived in Egypt, I had to be comfortable lighting a gas stove manually, and I learned how to use matches. I did discover that the matches that were actual sticks (instead of those soft, bendy things) were way easier to use.
I also love Mackenzie's line of matchbooks and hope to pick some up, if I ever buy new candles!
Right now I'm loving the Cabana collection from Archipelago — the beach in a candle! And the colors are so pretty.
Ooh love that pink matchbox!
