I adore this item, I'm not sure why more people don't have it. The color is mostly a darker, brownish red with Felicity, Josefina, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Kit, and Molly (no Kaya) framed in the middle of the lid, all in their Christmas dresses.
It measures 5 1/2 x 4in, and is 2in tall (a lot smaller than you would think by pictures of it). The metal is pretty sturdy, I've dropped it and it hasn't dented. The cookie cutters include a circle, star, heart, moon and gingerbread man. They are all about one and a half to two inches big (small cookies for people, perfect cakes for dolls!).
The recipe cards are very pretty, though most of the recipes are in the original (out of print) cookbooks, and most of them do not require cookie cutters. Some of the recipes include Kits checkerboard sandwiches, Addy's sweet potato pone, Josefina's Bizcochito cookies, and Kaya's fruit and nut mix. The circle, moon, and star cookie cutters are *perfect* for making Josefina's bizcochitos.
Overall, I would give the contents a B because you can buy heart, gingerbread, moon, etc., cookie cutters anywhere, and because the recipes aren't different from the ones in the cookbooks.
And I give the box an A+++ because it is ADORABLE and it looks lovely in the kitchen (the one room of the house where all other AG things look out of place!) And it is definitely worth the original price. If you don't have one go buy one. Shoo, shoo, go on.
