Candle with Matchbox Built In by Josh Rubin
I like things tidy and feel that most things have their place. While I never thought to combine matches with a candle, this marriage to be quite satisfying.

As Shiny Shiny point out, it is a bit disappointing that the match box is protected from the flame—nothing like a little tension to go along with romantic ambiance.
