Thanksgiving is such a sweet time of warmth and gratitude! I love having the opportunity for a joyful gathering with those I love before the busyness of December. Don’t you? But preparations and decorating can be a whirlwind! I’m hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, and I’m already stressing thinking about all of the details! 🦃😂

Here at ENB, you know we’re here to encourage, inspire, and bless you, and we want to make your Thanksgiving joyful! Today, we’re sharing a quick guide to some of our favorite Thanksgiving finds! From Thanksgiving décor and beautiful centerpieces to cozy table linens and kids’ activities, we’re setting you up for success!

I know I’ve said it before, but here at ENB, we’re genuinely grateful for you! It’s our joy and pleasure to help you make your Thanksgiving preparations stress-free. Let’s celebrate the season of gratitude together and create unforgettable memories with the people we love the very most!

Table Décor

Thanksgiving table décor is where creativity meets tradition, and your table can set the stage for a fabulous feast! It almost goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: your Thanksgiving table is not just a place to enjoy a delicious meal but also a canvas for expressing gratitude and love.

From harvest-inspired centerpieces to the fine china typically reserved for special occasions, every element makes the Thanksgiving table extra-special. Don’t forget warm, ambient lighting, crisp linens, and place settings that will make your guests feel welcome. As you plan, be sure to consider the elegant touches that make your Thanksgiving dinner truly memorable.

Kids Table

Let’s not forget about the kids’ table! With color-your-own placemats and paper turkeys, it’s a space where laughter and games will abound. This turkey activity set would make an adorable centerpiece, and these photo props will even have the teenagers wanting to take pictures.

Hostess Gifts

If you’re not hosting this year, you’ll want to bring a hostess gift to Thanksgiving dinner, for sure! It’s a thoughtful way to express your gratitude and appreciation for the hospitality you’re about to receive!

Whether it’s a small token of appreciation or a more elaborate gesture, the thought behind it matters most. Consider bringing a cute Thanksgiving tea towel, a precious trivet they can use for dinner, or a pretty apron for the host.

You could also opt for a personalized gift, such as a handcrafted serving board or a custom-made dish that the host or hostess can enjoy long after the meal is over. These thoughtful gifts serve as a reminder that the spirit of Thanksgiving goes beyond the delicious food; it’s about coming together, giving thanks, and showing love and gratitude for one another.

Home Decor

I think embracing the spirit of Thanksgiving in your home’s décor is like creating a space that gives your guests a warm, cozy hug!🤗 It’s the time of year when we welcome the rich hues of autumn leaves, the flickering glow of candles, and the comforting presence of cozy pillows. From the wreath on the front door to the decorations on the mantel, little touches can transform your home into a place of warmth and welcome! I don’t know about you, but I want my Thanksgiving décor to create an atmosphere that encourages laughter and sweet conversation.

  1. Hi Suzy,

    Thanks for the timely reminder I needed to order hostess gifts for my sister-in-law that’s having us for Thanksgiving this year. With our older daughter getting married on the 23rd, there was no way I’d be ready to tackle cooking a big holiday meal so soon after all the wedding hoopla. I’m THANKFUL I was able to use a couple of your links to order that cute baked goods candle set plus a couple Mud Pie items. Wishing you and yours a memorable and stress-free Thanksgiving!

    Best,
    Carrie

    1. Carrie,

      Thank you for shopping with our links! It’s such a joy to curate ideas that we hope will be helpful and bless you – especially in your case, busy mother of the bride!

      You will have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, for sure!

      Thanks for letting me know, and congratulations!

      xoxo
      Suzy
