Product Insights
This refillable glass match holder from family-owned Canadian manufacturer Yummi Candles offers a moisture-sealing cork cap and durable integrated striker for repeated use, costing about $0.11 per match initially and less with standard 2-inch refills, undercutting comparable products. The compact 1.5x2.75-inch design fits small surfaces, backed by a satisfaction guarantee and FSC-certified packaging, though the striker's longevity depends on refilling.
- Moisture resistance
Cork cap repels water, resists mold, and compresses to seal out humidity.
Why this is supported
The cork cap's moisture resistance relies on three natural properties:
The natural waxes in cork, called suberin, repel water at the surface.
dgfloors.comSecond, cork contains antimicrobial properties that inhibit mold and mildew.
Cork contains natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms.
leecork.comThird, its closed-cell structure compresses against the glass rim to create a snug seal.
Cork consists of millions of tiny air-filled cells arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern. These cells form a closed-cell structure, meaning each cell is sealed and largely isolated from surrounding cells.
9cork.comThis physical barrier works with the chemical repellency to keep matches dry even in steamy bathrooms, and because the cap seals out humidity, the holder stays functional for refilling.
Yes, the glass holder can be refilled with standard matches of similar size (2 inches long) once the initial 50 are used.

Good solution
This little match jar is much more attractive and durable than match boxes. A solution I didn't know I needed!
Looks great!
I like them but a bit pricey for what they are.
Porte-allumettes
Le contenant est bien mais le collant du prix est impossible à retirer complètement sans déchirer l'étiquette originale du produit. Le grattoir pour allumer les allumettes ne sert à rien parce que c'est impossible d'y allumer l'allumette.
Discreet addition to the loo
A bit on the pricey side, but a sweet little addition to the loo. Matches are of great quality, and the striker, too.
Porte allumette
Non reçu !!!???
Fonctionne mal
Il est très très difficile d’allumer les allumettes avec le grattoir sur le côté !
Horrible matches they do not light
Worst matches ever. They don’t light at all. Not sure if I can return them. DO NOT BUY.
Bel achat
Je suis satisfaite mais ce n’est pas un coup de cour non plus. La pastille qui sert d’allume-feu ne fonctionne pas bien et l’allumette est courte
Bel emballage.
Se donne bien en cadeau
Convenient and cute
Nice container!
