Abstract: A culinary greeting card kit is a boxed set of greeting cards (30) with envelopes (40) and two thematic cards, preferably recipe cards, (10, 20) for each greeting card. One recipe card (10), to be sent, is enclosed inside the greeting card and held by tabs (T); the other, identical, recipe card (20) is kept by the sender. The recipes vary from card to card and a picture of the food item made by the recipe may appear on the face of the greeting card and also on the back of each recipe card. Thus, the kit includes a variety of food pictures as well as recipes. The greeting card preferably has a pop-up section (F) traversing the recipe card, so that the card is retained under the pop-up section as well as between the tabs.
