20 Food of the Month Clubs That Are the Gift That Keeps On Giving
Because who wouldn’t want 12 straight months of butter?!
We might be slightly biased, but we believe that food makes the ultimate present, no matter the occasion. In fact, we wrote an entire gift guide all about it! There’s just something about a box or basket that’s overflowing with delectable eats and sweets that makes anyone feel totally spoiled. The one downside is that food gifts tend to be gobbled up way too quickly. As much as we’d love for a box of brownies or cupcakes to last a full week, that’s easier said than done. Enter "Food of the Month" clubs. Typically available in increments of three-, six- and twelve-months, these food-based subscriptions are truly the gift that keeps on giving. From mac and cheese to ice cream, here are 20 of the best "Food of the Month" gifts to give your friends, family and even yourself the next time you're in need of a present.
This quarterly subscription from Baked by Melissa is all about making life just a little bit sweeter. Each of the reoccurring deliveries are timed to coincide with the four seasons — fall, winter, spring and summer — and come with 25 of the brand’s latest and greatest flavors, including their featured mini of the month and their newest offerings. Their 8 classic OGs — tie-dye, cookies & cream, peanut butter & jelly, cookie dough, triple chocolate fudge, chocolate chip pancake, red velvet and mint cookie — will also make an appearance in every package.
From cheeseburgers to Brussel sprouts, bacon makes everything better! With this three month subscription from Goldbelly, your pork-loving friend can indulge in strips of peppered, double-smoked, sugared, spiced and thick-striped bacon any time they please. Oh did we mention — a chocolate-covered variety is also included.
It doesn't get butter than this! Enjoy 12 months of the best cultured Banner Butters that will leave any recipient turning their back on the classic salted. These butters have a higher content of butterfat than others, meaning more flavor and more deliciousness. This subscription delivers four blocks of butter every three months, the shipments always including Sea Salt, sweet, Roasted Garlic and a fourth seasonal butter — the best kind of slippery surprise!
If you have a co-worker who's continuously chugging coffee throughout the work day or week, they’ll love this buzzy monthly subscription from Red Rooster Coffee.

Their "Get Your Fix" subscription is available in monthly and yearly increments and comes with one, two or four bags of "most rare and delicious coffees on the planet," which have been specifically curated by Red Rooster’s team of coffee experts. If you happen to choose a yearly gift subscription, your special someone will also receive additional goodies like a Fellow Stagg Kettle or a Moccamaster brewer.
