The gifting gurus behind In A Matchbox are set to re-release its most popular product and this one will be hotter than ever.
Marvling Bros, founded by friends Hayley Madden and Emma Dobie, creates mini gifts that can fit inside a matchbox (and your letterbox) which range from mini marshmallow toasting kits and micropub seed kits to novelty stationery and their best-selling "Hot stuff" chilli in a matchbox gift.
Now, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the team are set to get those tastebuds tingling once again with a relaunch of Hot Stuff, and this time, it will be even hotter, as Emma explains.
“We'd been so busy preparing for Father's Day we hadn't noticed we were coming up on our 10th anniversary but after testing the water with our customers, we knew we had to mark it and what better way than to bring back what is, on every level, our hottest ever product?”
This limited-edition release of 500 is a knockout combination of the world's hottest chilli powders, each carefully curated and beautifully presented in a miniature glass bottle.
