Goodie of the Month Clubs

I’m sure I have blogged in the past about how I have become a super fan of the goodie of the month club concept.

It all started when I was married and found myself all of the sudden with a couple of dozen additional friends and relatives I needed to shop for when buying Christmas gifts. My then-husband tended to hand out soulless envelopes of cash to the kids and nothing at all to the adults, all the while collecting on dozens of incoming gifts. I felt compelled to his shopping for him.

However, it changed Christmas shopping for me from a wonderful experience I looked forward to year after year to a daunting task that gave me acid indigestions.

That is when I thought back to the wine of the month club my parents used when sending gifts to many of their friends. I asked them about the club they used, ended up using the same one to choose several family gifts, and then moving on from there to discover “of-the-month” clubs that dealt in fruit, candy, books, and even naughty under-things. I was hooked. It was an easy way to choose a thoughtful gift and everyone who received a club gift from us was thrilled.
