Whether you start your Christmas shopping in July or wait until December 23, it seems like there is never enough time to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. If you want something stylish, thoughtful and unique, then consider going “old school” with a gift of the month club.

Actually, today’s gift of the month clubs are much different than the old corporate standard you may be familiar with. Modern gourmet food of the month clubs are a fresh alternative to the ordinary gift. These monthly food clubs remind your client or special someone that you are thinking of them far beyond that special holiday. Better yet, there is no trip to the mall or gift-wrapping involved. Most of the food of the month clubs can be ordered via catalog, or from the internet. What a time-saver!

Monthly gift clubs started long ago as a business gift. Companies would send them to their clients or employees as a way of appreciating their hard work. The frequency of the gift itself would serve as a reminder to the recipient that their hard work and dedication was appreciated. In recent years, these gift clubs have become popular to send to family and friends as well.

Instead of the usual tie for grandpa or the same-old necklace for mom, these monthly clubs offer a wide variety of gifts to choose from. Monthly gift clubs can include wine, cheese, fruit, confections, pasta, and many other delicacies. Can you imagine a succulent array of fresh fruit arranged in a basket with some jarlsberg cheese and a bottle of fine wine? The arrangement would be changed from month to month, depending on what was in season. Can you see the look on that special someone’s face when they unwrap a tower of fudge and candies with a package of gourmet coffee?

There are many clubs to choose from. Fruit of the month clubs deliver fruit as it is harvested, directly to the recipient. Organic fruit selections are available. There are endless gourmet food items that are available. You can also choose from wine of the month clubs, beer of the month clubs, cheese of the month clubs, and so on. The popularity of these gifts has risen so much in recent years that their selections have expanded to include pretty much anything that you can dream up. It’s a lot of fun to create a basket or tower that will be delivered over and over again. The gift itself will change from month to month to vary selection and to also insure that only the freshest ingredients arrive at your recipient’s door.

In addition to the item that you choose to give, you can also choose the frequency of your gift. Gift of the month clubs don’t necessarily mean every month. Gifts can be sent every three months, every two months, or however often you would prefer. For instance, you may choose to send a small basket of fruit each month for about $19.99. You could also choose to send a larger basket, containing wine, cheese, and crackers every three months for about $60. This allows you to choose the best gift within your budget.

Whatever the occasion, food of the month clubs allow you to create a gift that will truly keep on giving. With an endless amount of gourmet food selections and price points, you are guaranteed to find the perfect gift every time.
