I purchased a 12 month subscription for my Dad, and I could have made a mistake (I ordered this months ago)-- but since the beginning I get the shipment notifications as well as the monthly "about your chocolate" emails.
- to be clear, it had a "recipient" mailing address, but I don't think it has a recipient email address slot, so I forward these to my Dad each month.
Really great gift. Would be better if I didn't have to forward him the info on it.
