cool food of the month subscriptions?

[kittyboots]

Looking for top quality food of the month type things ... something good as a wedding gift. Cheese, exotic fruit, chocolates, that sort of thing ... no booze, they don't drink. Quality stuff, nothing mundane ... Ideas?

There's a potato of the month club from some farm up in New England. My parents thought it was delicious and horizon-broadening, with lots of different varieties, but it is...earthy. Probably not what you had in mind, but it is here for future searchers.

Zingerman's (in Ann Arbor, MI) does cheese, bread, coffeecake, and pie clubs. They also do a really fabulous monthly gift basket subscription that includes unusual and rare food items. Yum.

Depending how much you're looking to spend, you could do a "Cooking Club of the Month" thing, where you figure out a local place that has cooking classes, and pay for a certain number of months, and allow the couple to choose their topics.

I forget where but someone sent my mom an olive oil club thing, which she absolutely loved.

Caviar of the Month if you went to shell out $$$

Hickory Farms does a "gourmet basket" of the month.

iGourmet does a Conneisseur's Club http://www.igourmet.com/shoppe/featur... which features different gourmet items from different countries of origins.

Of course, if they're not "cleaners," you could pay for a monthly visit from a maid service for however long you'd like... Or laundry delivery...

I'm sure I saw a pizza-of-the-month club somewhere... I'd love that.

Murray's Cheese has a cheese of the month club - I've not used it b/c I live in NYC - probably go there 2-3 times a month - wonderful cheeses and I would expect that they do a good job w/ shipping etc.

my sister got chocolate of the month from the company "vosque" ( SP?) it cost $500!!!
i guess its really, really quality stuff though. she showed me the catalog and it looks absolutely to die for...tasty & different. i can get exact name if you need. they also have 3, 6, or 9 months too if you dont want to spend an arm & leg!

best present ever: Bacon of the Month Club from Gratefulpalate.com. Truly, the bacon was amazing and it made me sooo happy to get a fresh box each month.
