Are you racking your brain for a memorable gift idea? You should consider giving a membership to one of the many popular monthly fruit clubs. Though similar to the traditional and much beloved “fruit of the month club™”, today’s fruit-by-mail subscriptions are even fresher and offer a larger variety of selections for the modern shopper such as organic or exotic fruits.

Everyone feels special extra special when they receive a “special delivery,” so you can’t go wrong with a fruit by the month membership. Each delicious package will serve as a reminder of how much you admire your colleague or friend.

Here are some of the benefits your recipients will get from a year-long subscription to a monthly fruit club.

A Beautiful Basket of Fruit, Delivered Fresh Every Month

With a fruit club membership, recipients will taste the sweet flavor of seasonal crops like never before. Many gourmet gift companies pick and package the club’s selection at the farm, so each harvest arrives straight from the grower – sometimes, it’s even delivered the same day it was harvested. It doesn’t get much fresher than that! Nutritious, ripe and juicy, this is a gift that satisfies both the taste buds, and fullfills your friend’s recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

Most gourmet gift subscriptions deliver anywhere from one to five pounds of handpicked, succulent fruits every month. Membership lengths vary but are usually sold in three-month increments of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

If you go for a shorter subscription, then choose a variety packed membership that offers the opportunity to taste as many different items as possible. A variety-themed club will include 2-3 types of fruit in each delivery. However, if you are going to sign up for fruit by the month for an entire year, then definitely choose to go with a seasonal club. A seasonal membership will pack up each new fruit selection at the height of its ripeness, so every sweet bite is an example of the perfect specimen.

Newsletter Help Consumer Learn More About the Food They’re Eating

“Connecting” with our food and the farms from which our food came is part of the growing sustainable food movement. A fruit gift of the month club helps consumers connect with the history of their food through a monthly newsletter. Each newsletter informs members about the selection and harvesting process as well as offering gourmet recipes to inspire amateur chefs with new ideas for fruit preparation. Usually these newsletters, which are available exclusively for members, are a good chance to acquire firsthand information about the high-quality produce that arrives at their doors each month.

Deluxe Gift Subscriptions Include a Larger Bounty of Gourmet Goods

Most companies that have monthy fruit-by-mail clubs also have deluxe gourmet food memberships offering the finest gourmet gift items such as cheeses, sausages and other lip-smacking goodies. All of these edible goods are carefully harvested, processed and packaged to present the best food products available from a world-famous collection of orchards. If you really want to impress your friends, colleagues or even a boss, then a deluxe gourmet gift of the month club should be at the top of your list for gift ideas.
