I struggle with gift ideas for my husband. I just never know what to get get him, or my dad, my brothers and brothers in law too, if you want to know the truth.  Gift giving for men is tricky because I find that if a man wants something, he’ll just go out and buy it!

 When birthdays and Christmas come around, there isn’t really anything they want and there are only so many shirts or iTunes gift certificates you can buy a person.

However, this year I have a great idea – beer of the month club. How good is that? For just $21.95 (plus $10 shipping) each month my DH gets a twelve pack that contains four different types of hand crafted microbrews in 12-ounce bottles, courtesy of the Great American Beer Club. 

The company has been running since 1994 and all beers are hand selected by a panel of experts (I’m sure my DH would like that job!). Also, there’s no minimum membership period so you can trial the monthly beer club before making a commitment, but if you sign up for a year, you will receive a $25 credit towards a second membership. 

The beer selections come from two or three different microbreweries each month, so he will get to try beers that he might not find at our liquor outlet or sports bar. Beer of the month club is such a great gift idea.  I remember someone saying that when it comes to gift giving for men, the best bet is something they can eat or drink.  Come to think of it, I don’t mind that kind of gift myself!  Anyway, a monthly beer club delivery of designer brewskis  is practical, classy and is something every beer lover can appreciate!

And if DH find some beers he really likes, he can order them at a discounted price and have them delivered to his door.  He’s going to love it.  It’s a really great idea. Plus, there is a monthly beer lovers newsletter to help them become true connoisseurs!
