One great gift idea that keeps on giving well into the new year is a subscription to an edible Of-the-Month-Club. If you are looking to venture beyond typical beer, wine, or books here are a few ideas we're particularly excited about:

Coffee of-the-Month
What you get: Citizen Bean will send out up to a year’s worth of fresh-roasted, sustainably grown, fair-trade coffee beans in 1 lb bags, all from different, small-batch, artisan roasters. The goodness doesn’t stop there either; Citizen Bean also has each roaster choose a charity that is then awarded a portion of the sales.
Cost: $79.99 (4 months, $20 shipping), $119.99 (6 months, $30 shipping), $199.99 (one year, $60 shipping)

Potato of-the-Month
What you get: Each month that you sign up, Maine’s organic Wood Prairie Farm, will send three unique potato varieties with descriptions and a recipe booklet.
Cost: $39.99-$299.00 (1 to 8 month subscriptions)

Garlic of-the-Month
What you get: Straight from Oregon’s organic Hood River Farm, where from September thru February garlic will arrive along with recipes, storage tips, and varietal information. Each month will include a new variety, such as Purple Stripe, Porcelain, Creole, and Artichoke.
Cost: $87 (includes shipping)

Green Tea of-the-Month
What you get: Twelve months of delicious Japanese green tea from O’Cha in Japan. Each package will include a different, anti-oxidant rich tea that should last three to four weeks, just long enough for the next package to arrive. In the warmer summer months, you can look forward to receiving varieties perfect for making iced tea.
Cost: $21.45 per month (includes shipping)

Honey of-the-Month
What you get: At North Carolina’s Spicewood Farm beekeepers Chris and N’ann offer several different monthly honey clubs, but we really like the Honey Lover's Monthly which sends you a full year’s worth of honey is wide range of tastes, nectar sources, and varieties. You’ll also receive a recipe booklet to help you enjoy your honey bounty.
Cost: $240 (plus shipping)
