The holiday season perks everyone up. And while Girlawhirl doesn't like to think it's solely due to gift exchanging, she can't deny that receiving a thoughtful gift certainly adds a spring to her step. So why not give that same joy all year long? Because some gifts are just too good to give just once, Girlawhirl's got great ideas for gifts that keep on giving…
• Instead of the usual fruit of the month club, Girlawhirl enrolls Super pals in the Yellow Box Beauty makeup-of-the-month-club. Each month a new beautifully packaged yellow box (of course) filled with products from the soon-to-be “it” brand, carefully selected by Yellow Box's beauty expert, will arrive on the Super Pal's doorstep. Girlawhirl's secret confession: this is really just a way to keep the Super Pals from stealing all of her cosmetics because they will be in on all the latest and greatest goodies too!

• Green thumb or not, everyone loves to be surrounded by fresh flowers all year long, and Girlawhirl's no different. Instead of “naughty and nice,” Girlawhirl's dividing this year's list into “green thumbs,” and “not.” For the green thumbs: a new pre-potted bulb every month to raise and love. For those in the “not” category: Girlawhirl's giving Red Envelope Bouquets by the Month or Plants by the Month. Each bouquet comes in a ceramic vase with a different inspirational quote, and each plant comes in a different style pot that's re-usable.

• Some of Girlawhirl's favorite get-togethers are simple tasting parties where a good glass of red and an outstanding cheese platter take center stage. To make sure her favorite hosts have the very best fromage on hand, whether they're throwing a soiree or just tossing a couple back, Girlawhirl's enrolled them in Dean & DeLuca's Cheese ad Infinitum program. Each month two new, deliciously aged cheeses will show up on the doorstep until Girlawhirl tells the company to stop. But if she's looking for something a little more short-term, Girlawhirl can purchase a 3, 6 or 9-month cheese program too.

• For all of her sweet-toothed sisters out there, Girlawhirl's going with the Dancing Deer Monthly Munchie: A Cookie Subscription. Dancing Deer likens the monthly arrival of (over one pound of!) its featured cookie to a magazine arriving each month in the mail. Girlawhirl thinks if her magazines were this tasty she'd be the fastest reader in her city.

• No matter how hard she tried to corrupt, there are some Super Pals with powers that Girlawhirl just can't fathom, who can resist the lure of cookies, cake and chocolates. For them, and those who just love to bite into the freshest of fruits, Girlawhirl's giving the gift of Harry and David's Royal Fruit of the Month Club. Harvested for freshness and shipped right to the door of whomever Girlawhirl chooses each month, she can't go wrong with this fruitful offering.

• Girlawhirl's even got some great “monthly” ideas that are a little more homegrown. She's going to visit her local car washes and oil change stations to see if they offer monthly clubs too.
