<p>Okay, I have to mention this . . . just discovered this summer:</p>
<p>[il</a> laboratorio del gelato](<a href=“http://www.laboratoriodelgelato.com/index.html][b]il”>http://www.laboratoriodelgelato.com/index.html)</p>
<p>Because dry ice has to be included in every shipment and, of course, shipping must be expedited, it’s not inexpensive . . . . but for a once a year (perhaps birthday?) really special treat, this has to be it!</p>
<p>If you need immediate (or nearly immediate) shipping, follow the link for “Products” –> “Gift Packs.” That will give you a limited list of flavors that are always available for shipping. But if you can plan a bit more in advance, you can select from any of the dozens (and dozens and dozens!) of options they have listed under “Flavors.” The minimum order is four 18-ounce containers . . . but if that isn’t enough for “student plus close circle of friends,” you can get as many more as you need.</p>
<p>Also highly recommended for first-year parents who are having difficulty making the adjustment to their student away at boarding school. :)</p>
<p>P.S. For those of you whose students are already in Italy, please ignore this post. ;)</p>
