🎄 The Nutcracker – Christmas Games

Six colourful Nutcracker-themed matchboxes, each containing a different Christmas game or puzzle designed to get everyone talking, laughing and joining in.

Test your vocabulary, memory, logic and acting skills with:

Define That · Guess Who · Emoji Tunes · Logic Games · Mince Pie · Off Limits

Each box includes the game instructions, a festive paper hat and, naturally, a Christmas joke.

With different levels of challenge where appropriate, there's something for both children and adults — although we make no promises about who will become fiercely competitive!

⭐ The Nativity – A Christmas Story

A miniature Christmas story in six matchboxes.

Create your own Nativity scene around the dinner table as each box reveals another part of the Christmas story: Mary and Joseph at the stable, the crowded inn, the little donkey, the Wise Men, the shepherds and the Angel Gabriel.

Each box is named after a traditional Christmas carol:

Away in a Manger · Little Town of Bethlehem · Little Donkey · We Three Kings · While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks · Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Open the boxes to reveal charming midnight-blue illustrated scenes, characters and animals from the story. The set also includes a card game, “hunt the doves” challenge, tissue paper hat, joke and a little Divine chocolate.

A playful way to bring the Christmas story to life — and create your own little Nativity around the table.

🎠 Christmas Carousel – Fairy Tale Animals

A wonderfully nostalgic set of six vintage-style matchboxes featuring a merry carousel of illustrated horse, goose, cow, rabbit, mouse and lion characters.

Inside each box you'll find a matchstick puzzle, festive paper hat, Christmas joke and anagram challenge.

The six puzzles are:

Rudolph's Nose · Santa's Workshop · Oh Christmas Tree · Bah Humbug · Sleigh Bells · Star of Wonder

A lovely choice for anyone who enjoys traditional Christmas silliness with a touch of fairy-tale magic.

A little alternative to the traditional cracker

Our matchbox crackers are small, playful and wonderfully different. They're bang-free, pet-friendlier and kinder to the environment than many traditional crackers — and because there's something to actually do inside, the fun can continue long after dinner.

They're also child-friendly matchboxes: there are no matches inside and the striking surface is purely decorative.

Each matchbox: approximately 55 × 36 × 17mm.

Perfect for Christmas dinner tables, place settings, stocking fillers, Secret Santa gifts — or simply sending someone a little festive surprise.

Optional gift bags and tags are also available.

Dimensions:
each matchbox measures 55mm x 36mm x 18mm
