I’ve talked a bit about the Menu for Hope<\/strong> – a big food-blogger-fueled fundraiser that I will be participating in again this year probably with a big basket of Italian goodies. <\/p>\n

And I’m getting ready to go shopping for the items!! <\/strong><\/p>\n

But first, you only have until tomorrow evening to comment on my Italy Gift Guide post<\/a> for a chance to win a collectors’ tin of Illy Caffe! And comment on my Dolce Italiano: Mosaic Biscotti<\/a> to win a personalized, signed copy of Gina DePalma\u2019s Dolce Italiano cookbook, and at Shelley at At Home in Rome<\/a>‘s post for today!<\/p>\n

I thought I would ask you what kinds of things you’d love to see in this year’s basket for the Menu for Hope!<\/strong> Please keep in mind non-perishable items that can be mailed. You can add an item if something’s missing! No prize for voting, but I gift you total anonymity, so please let me know your opinion!!<\/p>\n
