Need get a gift for a smoker? Rock of Ages Press (not the play) is the proud purveyor of these cheeky over-sized matchboxes, which pair pop culture philosophy with old school imagery. Example: one matchbox features a picture of Joan of Arc with the words “Burn Baby Burn” printed down the spine. Or, if you’re simply a candle fetishist with a taste for anachronism, the clever matches would go well with the brand’s LOVERS candles, which make a nod to the greats: Napoleon and Josephine, Dante and Beatrice. They may not be Katy and Russell or Posh and Becks, but they’ll do.
