A Paris ornament in the shape of a matchbook, the kind you pocket on the way out of a good restaurant, now in pink glass for the tree. It measures about 3.5 by 2 inches, small enough to tuck into the branches and shiny enough to find again. Hang it on a travel tree, a Francophile tree, or a first apartment tree, and tie it to a gift for the friend who still talks about that one trip.
Perfect for: travel trees, honeymoon keepsakes, ornament exchanges, hostess gifts, study abroad souvenirs, and the Paris obsessive on your list.
A matchbook ornament works the way a book ornament does, as a flat little object that stands in for a whole story rather than a generic bauble. It hangs from a hook and reads as a souvenir even for a trip that has not happened yet.
Collect a few cities so the tree becomes a map, pull the palette together with our French themed party supplies, and fill the gaps with unique Christmas ornaments.
