Anticipation. Wonderment. Excitement. What did they get me? What's under that beautiful wrapping paper?
What if you could repeat that excitement every month for a year?
The good news is you can! By giving a gift that keeps on coming month after month.
Amazon Prime Membership
This is a two-fold gift. They can shop and receive their items within two days (if it's a Prime product) and they have access to numerous movies and TV shows all year long.
Presentation: Buy a gift card tin and include a $25 Amazon gift card with a note stating they are also receiving a year's membership.
Magazine Subscription
Paying for a year's subscription to a magazine is a great way to support a hobby, interest, and educate. It also gives them something to look forward to in their mailbox.
Presentation: Buy the latest copy of the magazine and put it in a small basket with a yummy treat and something representative of the magazine i.e. yarn and needles for a crochet magazine or bait and hooks for a fishing magazine.
Park Pass
Going to an amusement park or National Park on a regular basis can get expensive. Help lighten the cost by purchasing a year's pass.
Presentation: Buy a gift bag to match the theme of the park and include a park t-shirt along with a ball cap with the park's name on it and the year pass.
Box Subscription
This one is fun. I had a friend do this for me with art supplies. Every month I couldn't wait to open the box and see what was inside.
Presentation: If I was giving someone a SketchBox subscription I would print out a flyer with the subscription information, buy a mixed media sketchbook and watercolor pencil set and attach it to a wooden palette and put a bow around it.
Create Your Own Monthly Gift
This one takes imagination and dedication, but with some prep (and a monthly reminder if needed) you can pull it off.
Below I've provided a couple of ideas that I just might do myself.
Presentation: Dinner out every month - buy a vase and some floral pick card holders and arrange all twelve gift cards among pretty fake flowers. A dessert a month - on the same day every month (date of their birthday) present them with a delicious treat.
Happy gifting!
