So who's on your shopping list this year? Let's begin with your co-workers since you'll be exchanging gifts with them first.

GreatFood.com has put together an attractive corporate program, giving you access to a corporate gift counselor. You'll also be eligible for discounts on a wide array of gourmet gift baskets and canisters. All of the items in their online catalog are presented in attractive packaging and include a personalized gift card.

Now that the co-workers are out of the way, you still need to find something a little more upscale for your boss. Why not enroll him or her in a wine of the month club?

Wine.com will ship a monthly selection right to his or her door! Even if you just want to enroll yourself, this is a terrific way to experiment with a variety of vintners and their wines. Of course, you can also hand pick your wines from their robust collection.

Wine.com provides a detailed description of each wine, and you'll easily find over 100 selections very modestly priced. Still, selecting a suitable vintage online can be a challenge. Fortunately, CompuServe's Wine & Beer Forum has a lively crew of wine connoisseurs who are more than willing to share their most thoughtful opinions.
