Choosing a birthday gift

My sister is coming to visit next week, and her trip out to the East Coast will coincide with her birthday.
So my daughters and I were on line yesterday trying to figure out what to get her that she’ll like, that won’t take up space on the airplane on her way back and that won’t become just another dustable (so much for the 300 pound giraffe sculpture idea).
As we looked at screen after screen from several gift-suggestion Web sites and found nothing that piqued our interest, my youngest suggested we try food.
And that led us to the site that coordinates ”(food) of the month” clubs, from desserts of the month and fruit of the month to salsa of the month and—our favorite and possibly our choice—cheeseball of the month.
“How did you guys get by without the Internet?” asked my oldest, as she scrolled through the site to get prices and options.
Since I didn’t have my Official Luddite baseball cap handy, I just smiled and said we managed. But I had to agree that living in a world with the Cooking Channel, (food) of the month club Web sites and immediate research on food available through Google, Dogpile, Yahoo and other search engines certainly is an advantage to anybody interested in food these days.
Apple crisp cinnamon graham crumb cream cheese dip, anyone?
