Once October arrives, I prefer to plan for my holiday gatherings ahead of time. We are hosting this year for Thanksgiving, and I’ve rounded up some great new finds to elevate your gathering. Many are new this season, and a few are pieces I use every turkey day. Here’s my favorite Thanksgiving table top pieces for this year.
Elevate your Thanksgiving Table
These Plymouth turkey dinner plates I use on our table every Thanksgiving. They are nice quality, dishwasher safe, and I love the vintage design. You can purchase them individually or as a set of 4. Shop the full collection for gravy boats, platters, and more.
I love using tortoise glass for fall gatherings. These stemless tortoise wine glasses add a beautiful upscale touch to your table. I mix these with our crystal drinking glasses and champagne flutes.
Speaking of champagne, this silver and leather champagne bucket is a great addition to your Thanksgiving entertaining. The leather adds a nice warm touch of autumn. I’ve used this as a vase to hold flowers to create a gorgeous centerpiece too.
I always include candlelight for special occasions. These beeswax candlesticks are my preferred choice. Beeswax burns clean and leaves a sweet light scent. This pair comes in a great selection of autumnal colors.
For larger gatherings, or if you just want to personalize a place setting for your guests, these gold turkey place card holders are a charming touch. Sold as a set of 4. I always like to handwrite the place cards for a more personal touch.
Upgrade your table linens. This floral block print tablecloth serves major Thanksgiving vibes. I love the chestnut, beige, and cream mix. These tablecloths wash up nicely, and I have a few different colors for different occasions.
Another tabletop favorite are these cordless brass petite lamps. I add these to our holiday tables for some extra mood lighting. I use them throughout my home when they are not in use on my dining table. They are great on a game table, book shelf, or kitchen counter too.
I have a collection of chargers and placemats in my entertaining arsenal. These woven border placemats work well for this holiday. The red is really deep, and will play nicely with the browns, taupes, and oranges on your table.
Keeping to the autumnal theme, these tortoise knot napkin holders are a beautiful touch to a simple white or colored napkin. The twisting knot design is a little different and more interesting than other versions I’ve seen in stores.
This set of 2 silver serving bowls looks elegant and is handy for presenting garnishes on your table. For Thanksgiving, I could see using these to serve cranberry sauce or crushed pistachios.
Crackers are so fun at Christmas, and we started using them for Thanksgiving too. Since we host different groups on these holidays, these Thanksgiving crackers are a festive way to kick-off your dinner with that POP! All ages enjoy reading the trivia, riddles, and seeing what goodies are hidden inside.
For more inspiration and ideas, you can see my Thanksgiving table from last year. Happy planning!
