A rather marvellous bit of festive nonsense that actually works. This isn't just a matchbook (though it does contain matches, which is rather useful). It's a beautifully crafted recipe card masquerading as something you'd find in a Christmas cracker, illustrated by a rather talented UK artist who clearly has far too much time on their hands, much like the rest of us.
Each of the ten matchsticks features a hand-illustrated cocktail ingredient. Strike a match, make a cocktail, impress your guests. What could possibly go wrong.
Why Choose Our Partridge in a Pear Tree Cocktail Matchbook
Ten hand illustrated matchsticks: Each one depicts an ingredient from the Partridge in a Pear Tree cocktail, designed by a UK based artist who actually knows their way around both a pen and a drinks cabinet.
Complete recipe included inside: The full instructions live inside the cover, so you won't spend three hours squinting at matches trying to work out if you've already added the gin.
Utterly fetching stocking filler: Should you find yourself in December without a gift for someone impossible to buy for, this rather good matchbook solves that problem with considerably more style than socks.
Pairs rather well with festive candles: If you're feeling particularly generous, bundle this with one of our seasonal candles for an altogether more sophisticated gift.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
