Partnership in a Lobster Trap
Rent a lobster trap for a season.
This program ships you all the lobsters caught in “your trap” during a single lobster season. You can have them shipped to whomever, wherever, whenever you choose. You’re guaranteed at least 40 lobsters, and when you ship four or more at once they throw in dessert and some shellfish.
I find this a hilarious, but it would make a tough-to-top gift for a gourmand.
