a sure-to-please hostess gift courtesy of new york's famed il mulino

If you finagled your way out of cooking Thanksgiving at your place this year, make sure your hostess knows the depths of your gratitude. Il Mulino's I Dolce gift set, a trove of goodies from the perennially popular Greenwich Village eatery, says "thank you" in ways that a bottle of wine (one that you'll probably help consume over the course of the feast) just can't. The biscotti, nougat, cookies, and truffles are welcome alternatives to predictable pumpkin pie. But even better, she can have them all to herself when the holiday guests are gone.
