In case you missed it, last week we launched a limited edition set of matchboxes in collaboration with Yiting Nan and Justing Zhang of Studio Fishball. I love how that set came out.
Matches are our favorite way to light candles. The satisfying scratch, the sound of ignition, the birth of the flame, and the smokey smell of the wood matchstick combine mysteriously to send a signal: It’s time.
Lighting a match is not effortless. It requires us to do just a little bit—enough to create a space for intention, and for our mind to focus on nothing else.
Our first matchbox collaboration in 2016
Over the years, we have created dozens of matchbox designs for our subscribers—and the occasional collaboration .
Through our recent Keaper survey , we learned that how we handle subscriber matchboxes is the object of some confusion. We’re working on making things clearer. In the meantime, further down I included four important things to know as a subscriber about your matchboxes.
Question for you: What’s been your favorite Keap matchbox so far?
If you have any pictures of your old Keap matchboxes, I’d love to go down memory lane with you!
Stay warm,

Subscriber Matchboxes — 4 Things to Know
When do I get a complimentary matchbox?
Subscribers get a Jumbo Matchbox with their first order and with each anniversary order, i.e. every 12 shipments.
Can I order extra matchboxes?
Yes, you can add extra matchboxes in your subscriber portal .
Can I get the Studio Fishball set with my subscription?
For boring reasons related to our tech backend, the full sets can only be purchased at KeapBK.com here . However, if you have a subscription shipment processing around the same time, we’ll typically ship them together. Note that starting in January we’ll be offering the Pawpaw matchbox from the set for subscriber anniversaries and for purchase in the subscriber portal!
What if I don’t want matchboxes in my shipments?
Just email us, and we’ll exclude them from all your future shipments

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.
