20 “Of the Month” Clubs to Gift This Season

If you put off gift giving until the last minute, consider getting your loved ones a present that really is “totally coming in the mail.” An “of the month club” gift is a great way for your friend or family member to experience a variety of their favorite food or item—and best of all, there's no wrapping involved.

1. JERKY

There’s more to beef jerky than just Slim Jims and Jack Link’s. For three months, your recipient can sample craft jerky from all over the country. The first month's shipment arrives in a branded Club Jerky box, filled with half a pound of high quality jerky while the following two shipments will be in “slick, branded bubble lined poly mailers.” Regardless of the packaging, each selection contains only locally made jerky with no brand names in sight.

2. BACON

Bacon Freak thinks everyone should be eating more bacon—which is why they offer a membership club that ships out bacon each month for three months. Each package comes with two flavors, including delights like jalapeno, honey BBQ, and vanilla bourbon.

3. SHIRTS

It's hard to pick just one shirt from Busted Tee's wide selection. That’s why buying in bulk is the way to go. With their “Shirt of the Month” deal, members pay a one-time $50 fee to receive one shirt a month, for three months. The company also offers six or 12 month plans, if three shirts just isn't enough.

4. AMISH BUGGY FUDGE

Have a friend who loves fresh fudge but doesn’t want to drive to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to get it? Have the Amish delight mailed right to their door with this club. For a whole year, your lucky recipient will get flavors like chocolate pecan, chocolate amaretto, Irish creme, chocolate turtle, and more.

5. PIZZA

It’s not delivery, it’s Pizza of the Month Club. OK, so it’s technically delivery, but your giftee will still have to cook the pies once they arrive. Each pizza is made by a Chicago chef and delivered frozen in a reusable cooler. Members can expect a 9-inch Chicago style pizza at the doorstep once a month for three months.

6. TUTUS

Why should anyone settle for one tutu, when they can have 12? These colorful, hand-sewn tutus will delight any little ballerina. By opting for the once-a-month deal, you pay for 10 tutus and they'll get 12—and free shipping.

For three months, the person of your choice can take in a variety of soups. Choose from four different menus: Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun, and Americana. Each month, your recipient will receive six gourmet soups, six baguettes, and six bake-your-own cookies. If the member wants to take a break, they can opt out of the mailing one month and pick it up later.
