Mystical Fire Color-Changing Packets

Mystical Fire is for the friend who thinks a campfire is already a good evening, but could use a little wizard nonsense. Drop an unopened packet onto a wood fire and watch for green, blue, yellow, and purple flames. The packet goes in closed, so there’s no pouring step.

The appeal is pleasantly simple: you’re still sitting around a fire, only now the flames have a more ambitious color palette. These packets work with wood fires in fire pits, campfires, and fireplaces, so the spectacle isn’t limited to camping trips. A night by the fireplace gets a turn, too.

We like this as a small gift for someone whose idea of entertainment involves pulling a chair up to the flames. The 12-pack gives them multiple packets to use, and the whole premise takes one sentence to explain. Fire, but make it suspiciously magical.
