Sigh. So to recap, I bought one of my sons a gift package for Christmas. The first package to arrive - the pancake breakfast - was a big disappointment as I detailed in my first review. The second package - the fruit package - just arrived yesterday, and it was even worse: he tells me that the package that cost me $60 consisted of four apples and five oranges. Really, folks? This is what $60 gets? I doubt four apples and five oranges would cost me even $20 in your local grocery store. I must agree with my son, who is not impressed with his Christmas present.

I'm a quite disappointed. I bought three months of Amazing clubs for one of my sons as a Christmas gift (breakfast club, fruit club, pasta club). He likes food, he's a good cook. I thought he'd enjoy these. The first one arrived at the end of January: the Breakfast Club.

The cost for the three clubs was over $180, which averages out to $60 per club. I was expecting he'd receive something comparable to a $60 meal in a restaurant, or what he might be able to buy for this amount at the grocery store.

The breakfast club box included: 8 oz. Of maple syrup, 2 oz. Of coffee (from the looks of it, enough for at most 3 cups of coffee), 4 oz. Of bacon, a 12 oz. Pancake mix, along with a flyer describing the offerings in breathless prose.

Frankly, these don't seem worth $60 to me. To buy these items in a grocery store, I'd expect to pay $25-$30 at most - half what I paid for the breakfast club box. If a meal consisting of these cost $60 at a restaurant it would be a rip-off.

When I contacted Amazing Clubs to report my experience I received a boilerplate response that amounted to nothing. No explanation for why the package received was so unsatisfactory, no indication how they were going to remedy the situation.

I hope the next two months' gift boxes - the fruit club and the pasta club - are more satisfactory. It's not very nice to feel you've given someone a cheap gift.
