last minute gift ideas that don’t require going anywhere near a mall.

OK.
You waited ’til the last minute to buy a gift.
But, don’t stress.  I’ve got you covered.
I’ve got a couple of ideas up my sleeve for you that won’t require going anywhere near a mall and that also won’t require Martha-Stewart-like craft skills and supplies.
Give the one you love a subscription to the “_________ of the Month Club”!
Don’t worry.  I’m not talking about a “real” club.  No jelly-of-the-month subscriptions here (although I think that I would probably love the subscription myself).  This is a club that is specific to the person who will be receiving the gift, so all you have to do is think of something they’ll love and fill-in-the-blank!
Here are some suggestions:
*Baked Good of the Month Club
 -Just whip up a baked good and deliver it to the recipient once a month.  They’ll look forward to eating something new each time!
*Book of the Month Club
-Take the book lover in your life on a date to the bookstore once each month to choose their newest read; or you could always surprise them with a book of your choosing.
*Brew or wine of the Month Club
-Find a 22 or a bottle of wine that will strike the giftee’s fancy.
*Clean-Up of the Month Club
-Come over and clean-up a room in said-person’s home once a month…or if you’re feeling particularly generous and ambitious, a top-to-bottom clean-up.  New mamas would probably love this gift!
*Dinner of the Month Club
-Drop by a meal or a gift certificate for a meal once a month.  Also…probably a great gift for new parents.
*Date-Night of the Month Club
-Take your honey out for one extra special date every month for a year (we’re not talking Chipotle and a Red Box here people).
*Movie of the Month Club
-Add a DVD to his or her collection once a month.
*CD of the Month Club
-Add a CD to their collection each month.
*Tool of the Month Club
-This one could get expensive, since tools aren’t cheap, but I know my husband would be thrilled to add a new tool to his tool box every month.
*Beauty Product of the Month Club
-Surprise a special lady in your life with something new to pamper herself with each month this year.
*Babysitter of the Month Club
-Offer up your babysitting services once a month for a year.  The gift-receiver will appreciate being able to plan ahead for date nights or other social functions.
*Outfit of the Month Club
-This could also get expensive, but being taken out to shop for a new outfit every month would be divine!
Get creative and see what you can come up with!
Maybe whip up some cute little coupons for your present.
This is the gift that keeps on giving for the whole year :).

  1. This is SUCH a cute idea. Also, I love “of the month” clubs… Jen and I want to do a wine of the month club, a cigar of the month club and we’re doing Birch Box which isn’t really a “of the month” club but it’s still a monthly subscription of make-up! 😉

    I also wanna get a “fudge of the month club” sub. YUM!

  2. This is a super fabulous idea!! We don’t do Christmas, but I don’t see why these can’t be used for any occasion as a last minute present. And the suggestions you’ve come up with… are really great too! Thanks for such a wonderful idea!! I’m definitely going to do this sometime. 🙂

  3. This is a wonderful, wonderful idea! I loveeeee it! I am already thinking of this for next year!

  4. Such great ideas! Merry Christmas to you!

  5. Those are some great ideas that can be made personal! Love it!

  6. “Jelly of the month” club – I was trying to think of where I heard that recently. How I met your mother, big bang theory… and then I remembered!! National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation was on tv the other night!! P.s. Your altered ideas are great last minute gifts! 🙂

  7. The outfit thing would be really cute to give a new mommy for her baby! Babies are growing out of clothes so fast they need new outfits every month anyway, ha! Love these ideas, and will definitely use one.

  8. Great idea! I didn’t find the time to do crafty gifts at all this year, but I also never stepped foot in the mall. I’m very thankful for Amazon Prime this year!

  9. Love this idea…especially the babysitter of the month club. I’d love that!!!
