Thanksgiving dinner is one of the best things in the world. What's even better? Thanksgiving dinner when someone else cooks for you.

Let's hear it for the hosts and hostesses who give their kitchens, their food, time and love to put together a feast for their friends and family, the ladies and gents who offer their home as a gathering place. They deserve a token of your appreciation, a thank you of the highest level. This year, skip the tired bottle-of-wine-in-a-bag routine and give them something to enjoy once the dishes are all done and the last guest has left. Keep your host or hostess in mind and make it personal and festive.
