Turns out not all quirky designer items are silly and/or overpriced after all… It’s refreshing to see something at a decent price and with a very sweet idea behind it.

The Zinoo Park 5 Minute Candle isn’t really a candle, it’s a set of 10 tiny candles designed to look like a regular box of matches. At first I figured it’s a good thing to have around in case you run out of matches – at least the candles last longer – but no, it’s meant for something else: birthday surprises.

No one would guess what’s hiding in the inconspicuous package and you can surprise a friend with an impromptu celebration. The downside? Each set has 2 packs of candles, which means 20, so you might need to get more if the birthday boy/girl is past that age.

Ok, ok, so it is silly. But it’s so cute at the same time I just can’t resist.

How much under $29.99?
