Ruth came over the other day to see our lovely recipe box assortment that I was bragging about. “Crowing was more like it,” Ruth wisecracked as she turned over the recipe box we aptly named Chicken with Checkers to inspect its interior and exterior.

After her examination and seal of approval, Ruth said she really liked all the pretty recipe box designs, and as usual, came up with a wonderful suggestion.

“Why don’t you tell people what nice gifts these recipe boxes would make for wedding showers,” she said. “When my daughter got married, we struggled to find unique hostess gifts, and these recipe boxes would have been just perfect. With those matching recipe cards, and the recipe box design chosen thoughtfully for each person, well, it would make an impressive, well-liked gift.”

That Ruth! She sometimes can be brilliant. The idea of giving away a recipe box as a wedding shower gift can spark a whole bunch of other recipe and recipe box-related ideas:

- Exchanging recipes
- Giving packets of recipe cards as favors
- Playing “complete the recipe games”
- Making a mini-cookbook
- Hiding additional small gifts inside the unwrapped recipe box

I’m sure all the clever brides-to-be out there have even more creative ideas for incorporating a recipe box in their upcoming wedding festivities.  Let’s just hope they don’t get too distracted by all our pretty recipe box designs and forget to get dressed for the big day.

Happy Cookbooking,

Matilda
