Howdy, Randy!

This was a fun project. There are thousands of places offering "gift
of the month" type deals. I've picked out some of the nicest ones I've
seen. These are the kinds of gifts that I think anyone would love to
receive. I hope your daughters appreciate their dad's generosity!

INTERNATIONAL WINE OF THE MONTH CLUB

"Introducing The International Wine of the Month Club - Each month,
our premium wine club members receive international selections from
two separate award-winning boutique vineyards, accompanied by our
informative and entertaining newsletter. Choose from three membership
types, receiving either two red selections, two whites, or one of
each...

 Unlike many similar services that focus only on specific regions, our
featured selections hail from literally all corners of the globe. Many
are from classic regions like Bordeaux's Gironde River, the
sun-drenched hills of Tuscany and Sonoma's Russian River. But we also
include selections from newly recognized regions such as Australia's
Hunter Valley, the Mendoza foothills of the Argentine Andes and
Hungary's Zemplen Mountains."

"price no object"!
Maybe you could just give them credit cards to your account with the
proviso that they can use them only once a month  (maybe also on their
respective birthdays), but that they have to write you an nice
thankyou letter each time (no emails)telling what they bought or did
and why.

I looked for a "bra of the month club", and the expression appears on
many sites, but I didn't find one that worked like Pink's  " * of the
month club" sites.
(How many does a girl need?)
If they live somewhere with enough good restaurants, maybe you could
do some research and arrange with the restaurants that you pick up the
tab each month.

Lucky girls,
Myoarin

Randy, 

Here's a "Vodka of the Month." A 12-month plan costs $780.00: 

http://www.sendwine.com/id126306list2575product.html

I found several "Lingerie of the Month" and "Panty of the Month"
sites, but they are, in my opinion, unsuitable as a gift from a father
to a daughter; these sites are distinctly erotic in their approach.

This "Best Monthly Movies" offer lets you send DVDs as gifts:
