I Like You Swans Matchbox Valentines - Archivist
Archivist’s I Like You Swans matchbox turns a simple ritual into a romantic gesture. The iconic square box in deep red features two white swans whose necks curve into a heart, framed by the words “Perfect Match” – a charming token for Valentine’s 2026, whether paired with a candle or offered as a small but meaningful gift.
Inside, around 125 long matches with red tips are ready to light tall jar candles, fireplaces or candelabras with ease. Designed to live on coffee tables, mantelpieces or bedside shelves, this box is as decorative as it is useful, blending a nostalgic, print-inspired aesthetic with a playful, contemporary spirit.
Letterpress printed in the UK, the matchbox is made with FSC-certified paper and wood, and wrapped in compostable cello – a thoughtful balance of beauty and responsibility. Once the matches are finished, the box becomes a keepsake: a collectible piece, a reminder of Valentine’s Day, or a tiny chest for favourite mementos.
