Gold Bee Stationery Set - Recipe Cards, Note Cards and Gold Pens

A recipe box is better with a good pen beside it, and a shared dinner is better with a note afterward. The Gold Bee Stationery Set gathers all three in one design: 50 gold foil bee recipe cards, 50 gold foil bee note cards and three slim gold ballpoint pens, all 4 x 6 inches.

The recipe cards are uncoated card stock for the recipes worth writing slowly, the ones that get passed down. The note cards carry the same gold bee, for the thank-you that goes back with a borrowed dish. The pens write smoothly on both and look at home on a desk or a kitchen counter.

Who it is for

The set is a gift that does not need a second thought: a housewarming, a bridal shower, a teacher or a host at the end of a long weekend. It suits the cook who has been meaning to write the family recipes down, the friend who still sends a note by post, and anyone who keeps bees or simply likes them. Everything matches, so it looks considered when it is opened, and every piece is useful long after. For a bridal shower, it pairs naturally with a recipe card request in each invitation. It also suits a new neighbor, welcomed with a note and a recipe for something already in the oven.

Using the set

Write the recipes you make most first, while they are fresh, and add the rest as they come up through the year. Keep a few note cards in the recipe box, so a card can go out with a jar of jam or a copied recipe. One hundred cards is enough to start a collection and still have plenty to give away. Keep one pen with the recipe box and one at the desk, so there is always one at hand when a recipe needs a correction or a note in the margin.

To keep favorite cards clean for years, add clear 4x6 recipe card protectors; to mail the note cards, our white 4x6 envelopes. Every piece is also sold on its own in the Gold Bee stationery collection, and other combinations are in stationery gift sets.
