At 72 inches in length, this runner fits most standard dining tables and would look lovely paired with a red, burnt orange or cream tablecloth.
Bring Out the Linens
It’s that time of year to put out your best table linens, and this set of four rust-colored napkins might be just the thing. Handmade in the USA from linen and rayon, these napkins will bring a homey touch to your Thanksgiving table. And with a rustic yet timeless look, they’ll be perfect for this annual fall feast time and again.
Turkey Time
Thanksgiving is all about tradition, so keep it classic with these turkey salt and pepper shakers. Hand-painted and made of ceramic, this festive salt and pepper shaker set is sure to bring a warming touch to your holiday table. Who knows, maybe it’ll even become a family heirloom!
Pass the Gravy
Having gravy readily available on the table is essential on Thanksgiving, and this silver-plated gravy boat will instantly add a touch of elegance to your spread. Whether you’ll looking for that special kitchen tool to gift yourself, or you’re looking for a thoughtful host gift, this gravy boat is a great choice. Tasteful and timeless, this piece is meant to last for years to come.
Don’t Forget the Bathroom
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving, you’ll also want to remember to spruce up the bathroom before guests arrive. Putting out fresh hand towels is always a nice touch, and this cream-colored, 100 percent cotton towel set will help give your bathroom a clean and comfortable feel. With two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths, this set is also perfect for any overnight guests you may have for the holidays.
Play a Game
Liven up your Thanksgiving this year by bringing along a game — or seven, with this combination game set. The perfect gift for your host, this game board includes pieces for chess, checkers, cribbage, backgammon, dominoes, poker and dice. And if the meal is at your house, be the ultimate host by setting out this game board, and enjoy your best Thanksgiving yet.
Set Out Some Nibbles
Bite-sized hors-d’oeuvres are often the last thing a host wants to deal with when checking on the turkey. So if you’re a guest, offer to bring a cheese plate and let your host keep the wooden cutting board as a gift. Made of solid walnut wood, this beautiful board has non-slip rubber pads and a grooved border for easy food prep and serving.
Charm Them
Wine charms are always welcome at big holiday gatherings, and these copper charms would make a thoughtful gift for your host. This wine charm set includes rings with numbers one through six and would add a touch of sparkle to your meal. Simply attach them to the base of any wine stem and help your guests keep their glasses straight throughout the Thanksgiving feast.
