The editors at House Beautiful selected Shandell’s Matches as one the best gifts for under $25.00 this holiday season. Visit Shandell’s studio or online store for an amazing variety of matches to fulfill your holiday needs.
No holiday season will be more challenging than this one. How to afford a gift that’s really special, but doesn’t bust the budget? The handmade matchboxes from Shandell’s of Millerton, NY, will make gift giving personal and fun: a beautiful gift, but also useful—who doesn’t need matches, whether in the kitchen or for lighting candles or a fire? And just $14.
As a hostess gift, they will last longer than a bottle of wine or a box of cookies, and our large collection of styles—each drawn from our unrivaled 30-year collection of vintage imagery—would match any décor.
I am extremely honored to be selected. A friend and fellow blogger Anne Harwell’s note cards of her wonderful chairs were also included in this great list. Stay tuned to see what Anne and I have in store for the Holiday Season.

I made them into 
Shandell's is the creative home of me, Susan Schneider, a longtime collector of things vintage with a passion for recycling them into things that make you smile. Shandell's, a working lampshade and vintage lighting studio, has just relocated to 2881 Church Street, Pine Plains, NY 12567. I draw on a collection of thousands of unique handmade papers, antique wallpapers and other very special materials in my work. We will be open by chance or appointment.
