2019 Holiday Gathering Essentials:

  1. Buffalo Check Pillows / Football Fall Y’all / Grown in the USA: Throw a few of these pillows on the sofa for the season and you’ve just created a comfy and festive atmosphere for Thanksgiving.
  2. Birch Bark Flameless Flickering Candles: These aren’t just great for your gatherings but are a year-round home decor staple.
  3. Thankful Table Runner: Perfect way to add a little gratitude to your Thanksgiving table.
  4. Decorative Acorns: Would it really be a gathering without harvest decor.
  5. White Serving Platter: There is no better way to display your turkey than on a clean white serving platter.
  6. Slate Cheese Board: Always need a nice slate cheese board for that before dinner grazing.
  7. Porcelain Gravy Boat with Stand and Candle: Never have that film on your gravy again.
  8. Thanksgiving Wine Glass Drink Markers: This is such a fun idea! Everyone can keep up with their glass with this drink markers.
  9. Bread Basket Warmer: Nothing like that fresh-out-of-the-oven bread smell and taste.
  10. Dip-on-Ice Stainless Steel Serving Bowl: This amazing dip serving bowl keeps your dips the perfect temperature.
  11. 125 Piece Fancy Disposable Party Plates: Let’s be honest – there will be enough dishes without adding more plates into the fold.
  12. Cake Stand with Dome: A must-have for any hostess. Plus, it makes your buffet and tablescape looks gorgeous.
  13. Turkey Serving Set: Let’s make getting that bird out of the oven and on to the serving platter as easy as possible.
  14. Portable LCD Projector: Create a fun Thanksgiving experience by projecting the game or other holiday entertainment on this projector. Project it on the fence, the garage or set up a sheet.
  15. Mini Chalk Board Message Boards: Label all your dishes and/or place settings with these adorable mini chalk boards.
  16. Aluminum To-Go Boxes: This is the best idea! Have your guests fix to-go boxes and then you don’t have to eat leftovers for a week!
  17. Six Foot Folding Table: Move your buffet wherever it needs to go and keep your serving line organized with this 6′ folding table.
  18. Bean Bag Turkey Toss Game: While the turkey is cooking, set the kids up outside with this super fun turkey toss game.
