Flavors often include seasonal favorites and are sourced from some of the best preserve makers around the world. Previous deliveries have included Apple Pie Jelly, Bumbleberry Jam, Cranberry Orange Jam, and Michigan Blueberry Preserves.

Subscriptions come with an option for a personalized gift announcement, and each monthly delivery includes a newsletter dedicated to jelly lovers titled The Daily Spread. Subscribers and gift-givers can also select which month the subscription begins. Pricing for three-month and Seasonal Clubs is $26.95 per month, with further discounts on the six- and 12-month subscriptions. All options come with free shipping.

Based in Southern California, Lemon Bird Preserves makes handcrafted jams using seasonal fruit from local family farms. Though not certified organic, Lemon Bird pledges to only pesticide-free source fruit. It uses the freshest fruit possible by getting it the day or the day after it was picked. In addition to jams, Lemon Bird makes pickles using local produce.

The Lemon Bird Jam of the Month Club can be purchased as a three- or six-month subscription that includes delivery of two 6-ounce jars of jam every other month. The three-month subscription will total four jars over two shipments, while the six-month option totals six jars over three shipments. Jams are preselected but may include unique flavors such as Bourbon Fig with Vanilla & Smoked Sea Salt, Peach with Lavender, or Apricot with Sage, Honey, and Pistachio. Jam making is a true labor of love at Lemon Bird—preserves are all cooked in small batches in French copper kettles, and each batch takes several days to complete. The three-month subscription is $75, and the six-month option is $115, both of which include shipping.
