Putting the recipes in a notebook w/ page protectors is a great idea! I have several recipe "books" I've made for myself that way. Never thought of doing it for a gift. Great idea!
Ya know, you could also get a 13x11" sheet of white paper and collage family pix (use hair tape, comes off no damage) and copy @ Kinko's or etc. then cut out the pix you need for each recipe / page you want and have the best of both ideas. I'm doing this with my family history book, but it work with the recipes too. I have a neice that is sorta engaged ( wants to finish college first) and I could get started on the book now. All the others got was a recipe file filled w recipes, kitchen stuff and $. The cost would be minimum and I have all the scrapbooking stuff I'd need. Coolness!

BBB, Most of my gifts are made by me, but I also sell Avon and I do get stuff on the Demos that I can use for gifts too. I'd much rather make gifts than just buy or get an impersonal gift card. We still have to buy the stuff to make it with.........when its on sale!
