Thanksgiving is a time to relax with family and friends and appreciate all of the things we are thankful for! When you’re hosting sometimes it can be a little frantic. I am hosting this year and I am sharing easy ways I am saving time and stress so I can enjoy the holiday with my family and guests!!

Marin Dishware

Artisanal ceramic shapes are glazed a soft white with subtle hand-antiquing on the freeform rims. These dishes are on sale right now.

Crystal Stem Glasses

Not too heavy and not too fragile, moderate stem height and excellent balance. These wine glasses are Dishwasher­ safe, scratch-­resistant quality that will last for years. Of course you don’t have to serve wine, these glasses will elevate your ice water or non-alcoholic drinks too!

Wax Seal Place Cards

Amplify a plain place card with a bit of calligraphy, a gold wax seal and a leaf. So cute and simple!

DIY Thanksgiving Place Cards

Turn paper into beautiful Thanksgiving place cards or gifts with this easy DIY idea!

Wood Charger

Incorporate a natural element into layered place settings with a beautiful Wood Charger. Highlighting its one-of-a-kind beauty, the rich grain and mix of tones give it depth and character.

Linen Tablecloth

Classic Hemstitch Tablecloth Made of 100% Pure Handwoven Linen With an Intricate Hemstitched Border in a Weight and Texture. This one is available in a variety of different colors and sizes.

Magnolia Garland

Just add some fresh flowers and little pumpkins to this pretty garland and your Thanksgiving table centerpiece is done!

Natural Taper Holders

Natural mango wood turns shapely and striking taper candle holders, beautiful with wax taper candles or on their own as mantel sculptures. These candles would look so great with the greenery and flowers on your Thanksgiving table.

Make a Living Pumpkin Centerpiece

Have you ever used a living pumpkin as a vase for a centerpiece? It’s so easy and so pretty on your table!

Gold Mirror Flatware

Pie Place Cards

Welcome guests to the table with these DIY paper pies that can also be used as favors!

Pitch those cheap aluminum, fall-apart turkey roasters! This quality roaster with a metal rack features an easy-clean Xylan nonstick interior. The elegant French handles make you feel like a professional chef, and the carbon steel construction makes for a strong, durable roaster. 

Oil Rubbed Herb Turkey Recipe

This is our favorite turkey recipe. Oil rubbed with seasoned herbs. So good!

Turkey Roasting Pan

4-Piece Charcuterie Board

Turkey Forks

After you’ve roasted the perfect holiday turkey, make sure it’s transferred from the roaster to the carving board with ease. Our lifters have the heft and strength to hold even the largest birds or cuts of meat. Smooth walnut handles offer a comfortable grip.

Turkey Brine and Thermometer

Brine your turkey, then keep track of the cooking progress easily. Our brining blend infuses your bird with the succulent flavors of sea salt, peppercorns, apples, juniper berries, lemon peel and rosemary. The precision thermometer ensures pork and poultry are cooked to a safe internal temperature and the desired doneness.

Focaccia Stuffing and Gravy Base

Celebrate the flavors of Thanksgiving with two of our signature sides – Turkey Gravy and Focaccia Stuffing. Each one is crafted with premium, natural ingredients for fresh, homemade flavor. Easy to prepare, they enhance your favorite homemade dishes and help you create a memorable holiday meal.

Turkey Gravy: Rich, flavorful gravy base made with real turkey. Simply add milk, simmer and serve.

Focaccia Stuffing: Italian-inspired stuffing crafted with hearth-baked loaves of focaccia, seasoned with aromatic herbs.

Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing

Have you ever made stuffing in your instant pot? It can be a blessing at Thanksgiving when the traditional oven is taken with your turkey and side dishes!

White Ruffle Pie Dish

Handcrafted pie dish with ruffle accents. I love the pretty ruffle details.

Serving Platters

I love the serving pieces that coordinate with the Marin plates I shared above. They have so many coordinating pieces!

Complete Thanksgiving Dinner Delivered to You

Did you know you can order the entire dinner from Williams Sonoma – from their famous Willie Bird turkey and decadent home-style sides to a homemade pie finale. The feast for 12 includes:

Willie Bird Turkey: Choose from Free-Range, Organic, Pre-brined or Pre-Brined or Organic – all ready to roast from birds humanely raised on a healthy natural diet for extraordinarily juicy, flavorful results (see More Info tab for details).

Willie Bird Fresh Pre-Roasted Turkey: Extraordinarily juicy, flavorful and fully roasted.

Sausage Apple Cranberry Stuffing: Toasted French bread cubes mixed with chunks of Italian sausage, sautéed Fuji apples, dried cranberries and sweet caramelized onions.

Traditional Green Bean Casserole: Fresh green beans nestled in creamy Gruyère cheese sauce and topped with crisp, golden sautéed shallots.

Butter Chive Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed Yukon Gold potatoes folded in rich butter and fresh chives.

Pumpkin Pie: A buttery, flaky homemade pastry crust with a creamy spiced pumpkin custard filling, topped with a decorative pastry leaf.

Thanksgiving Live Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece

It’s our first Thanksgiving in our new home and I am so excited! I’ve been planning the menu for weeks and planning out the table. One thing I really want to create is a gorgeous Thanksgiving table.

20 Thanksgiving Table Ideas

I’m joining some creative friends who are all sharing beautiful Thanksgiving table ideas! Be sure to scroll down and be inspired for YOUR Thanksgiving celebration.

Natural Elements Make Beautiful Centerpieces

I love using natural elements and pumpkins are so pretty to use in fall centerpieces. A couple of years ago I potted succulents in faux pumpkins and they were so cute. So this year I thought it would be fun to use a live pumpkin for our centerpiece and have fresh flowers coming out, along with twinkling lights and greenery!

I filmed how quick and easy it was to make this centerpiece. Check out my little video:

Pick a Large Pumpkin

The pumpkin I chose was large and flat so it was really easy to carve and the perfect size for the short glass vase I used.

Trace Around Your Vase

Put the vase on top of the center of the pumpkin and use a pen to trace the vase.

Cut the Top Off Your Pumpkin

Use the pen marks as a guide and cut a hole around the stem of the pumpkin and take the top off.

Scoop Out the Pumpkin Seeds

Use a spoon and scoop out the area where your vase will sit. You might have to dig into the flesh at the bottom of the pumpkin to create a flat surface for the vase.

Insert the Vase

Fill your vase with water and put it inside the cavity you created in your pumpkin.

Cut the Floral Stems

Measure how deep your vase is and trim your flowers to the right length.

Arrange the Florals

Start with the biggest flowers and put them inside the vase. Then fill in the gaps with the rest of the flowers. Make sure to distribute all of the flowers evenly so the arrangement looks good from all side.

Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece

I put my pumpkin centerpiece in the middle of our table. I used a black and white buffalo check runner underneath. Then I spread a layer of greenery around the pumpkin, followed by flowers, smaller pumpkins and fairy lights. I love the way it looks!
