Beach Shell Candle Matches*
Be prepared and take these Beach Shell Candle Matches to your next Bonfire event.
Great for beach themed events, light your torch or lamp with the Beach Shell Candle Matches. With shell designs to accentuate the theme, the beach shell matches come in a decorative container with a cast metal charm and a raffia bow accent, so the thing sitting on your table looks like a favor rather than a utility item. The candle container comes with 75 matches inside. The top of the container shows an acetate window for easy viewing, while the bottom conceals the strike plate: you can see the matches, and you cannot see the scratchy part.
Seventy-five is a generous count for a favor this size. That is a whole season of candles on a dinner table, a summer of citronella on a patio, the candles on a birthday cake for several years running, and there will still be matches left in the box when you go looking for them.
The Beach Shell Candle Matches is a great favor for any special occasion. Hand them out as a favor to guests at a wedding, birthday party, bridal shower or ceremony for them to use and enjoy anywhere. Your guests will enjoy its service at home or in the office, which is more than most favors manage. The matches favor is the perfect idea for candle ceremonies, where the whole point of the evening is the moment a flame passes from one hand to the next.
Picture them stacked in a shallow basket by the door of a beach house reception, or one set at every place beside a tea light so the table lights itself as guests sit down. The raffia bow and the cast metal charm do the beach work, and the shell design ties the container to the rest of your table without another thing to arrange.
Complement a beach or seaside theme with the Natural Beach Starfish Shell Tidbit, or look at the Zebra Heart Charm Candle Matches when the theme is not coastal. See Beach Wedding Favors for the full products catalog.
