Gift Guide 2019: Light My Fire

Of all the hostess presents I received this year, this was my favorite.

Like most people who cook on gas, I've got a burner that no longer lights by itself. I can't tell you how often I've scorched my fingers putting a match to the recalcitrant one.

Not anymore.

As you can see, these fabulous matches are very long. They are also easy to light - and easy to reuse. So this is a gift that will last.

Their original purpose is for fireplaces, and they work very well for grills. So it's a very versatile present.

The matches look very nice sitting on the counter, and when they're gone, you've got a very nice canister for pasta, sugar or beans.
