My best friend gave me a really great gift for Christmas this year and I thought doing something similar would be a really nice and thoughtful gift.
She typed up her family’s secret spaghetti sauce recipe and included some of the ingredients in a box. We’ve known each other since our freshman year of college, and I am so honored that her family allowed her to share the recipe with me.
She also printed out some pictures from our Italy trip and put them in photo coasters and also threw in a colosseum ornament.
Since I have been lucky enough to go on several trips with friends and family, I am definitely going to keep this idea in my back pocket.

This was the theme of one of my bridal showers – people brought one of their favorite recipes and the ingredients needed to make it. It was a lot of fun!
That is a really great shower idea too!
