kindred box, memories worth sharing

Some things become part of the family.

We make things with that possibility in mind. Keepsakes and shared experiences that bring people closer: things to make, stories to tell, and traditions to return to.

Something to share
Made with enough care to earn its place in your home
A reason to come together
A standing date, a familiar ritual, a reason to call
A keepsake that becomes yours
Room for the note, the variation, the story behind the stain
Why we exist

Being close takes more than caring about someone.

It takes time, a reason to reach out, and the little things we do together. We think those reasons belong in everyday life: a recipe we want to try with someone, a story we finally write down, an afternoon spent making something around the same table.

We started The Kindred Box to make room for more of those moments.

Who's behind it

Hi, we're Cody and Zanna.

We're building The Kindred Box from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, and it started the way most good ideas do around here: at a table, with people we love, wondering why the things our families actually treasure (the recipe box, the photo album, the letters tied with string) all quietly became apps. Nobody ever fought over who inherits a login.

So we're making the keepsakes again. We'll be here along the way, cooking the recipes ourselves, reading every reply, and making a few messes of our own. Our hope is simple: that something we make helps you connect with someone you love.

Memories worth sharing

Our first release · January 2027

We're starting in the kitchen.

The Kindred Recipe Box subscription is where it will all begin: new recipes to try every month, a new reason to connect with your someone, and a recipe box that will grow into the family cookbook. We'll send our favorite recipes; you can add the ones your grandmother passed down.

The kitchen is where we've always connected: the heart of every home, where we gather with the people we love. Now you can reconnect with the ones who've moved across town or across the country: we send you both the same recipes. You make them in your kitchen, they make them in theirs. Calling each other to compare notes could take all evening.

We can hardly wait for this one. Ordering opens ahead of the holidays, and the first boxes will arrive in time to be under the tree this Christmas.
