I am a little fearful that I'll forget, as well, but I was planning on putting a reminder on the calendar each month, for the whole year, when I give the gift. I have the same tendency!

My only concern would be getting distracted six months in and not actually doing it. :( I have a tendency to jump into new, great ideas and then get obsessed with some OTHER new, great idea. I might have to think of variations with non-perishables that I could prep in the height of my enthusiasm and then easily continue even when I've mentally moved on. :) I really like this idea, though. Thanks for sharing it! Now that’s a great idea!

Basically, you make your own 'X of the month' club and give a gift subscription to that. So for example, you make up a little gift certificate to the "Pie of the Month Club". Then you make a different pie each month for that person. Obviously this works best if you live next to the giftee. I figure it can be used with so many things--bread, cookies, cakes, even dinners or drinks. I just read a great food gift idea that I’m going to implement next year for my FIL’s birthday.
