"They’re super easy to strike—even my elderly mother has no trouble using them, which speaks to how user-friendly they are."

"I've purchased these matches several times because they always light on the first try and stay lit long enough for my needs. They're a great value and work best for lighting my wood-burning, gas-fueled fire pit."

"I use these matches mostly for candles, and every match has lit so far. The boxes are a good size and last a while, so I'm happy to restock when I run out."

"These matches are made of nice, consistent wood and light reliably, but sometimes, especially at the end of the box, the striker strip wears out. Still, for the price, they're a good deal."

The thick sticks mean I can reach deep into tall candle holders without burning my fingers, and they almost always light on the first try. My only regret is not having more things to light, because they truly elevate the experience!"

"As someone who makes luxury candles, these matches are a perfect fit for a high-end, stylish setup. The black tips and stained wood are visually stunning and make a statement on camera.

"Honestly, I was disappointed because the matches are so tiny that I barely had time to light a single candle wick. They burn down very quickly and just weren’t what I expected. Not worth the money for me."

"I was always nervous about using matches or traditional lighters, but this electric lighter has made it so much easier and safer for me to enjoy my candle collection. Simple to operate, feels safe, and lets me finally use all those gifted candles. Definitely worth buying."

"I bought these as stocking stuffers in the rose gold color and they were a huge hit, especially with my mom who had never seen one before. They’re compact, attractive, and recharge easily—and I feel much safer using them around kids than a regular lighter. I wish I’d picked up extras for the rest of the family!"
