Want to add a pop of color to your table setting? This table runner is a gorgeous way to inexpensively do so. Not only will it add warmth to your table, but it can also be used throughout all of fall. This runner is 100% cotton, and perfectly sized for a table that can seat 4-6 guests.

If you dare spare some room on the Thanksgiving table, why not opt for a festive centerpiece? This one features assorted maple leaves and three good spots for pillar candles to live. It’ll really help bring your whole Thanksgiving table together.

This round tablecloth might not be the best fit for your main table on Thanksgiving, but it’ll easily jazz up a dessert spread or a table with a festive charcuterie board on top. According to one of its many fans who purchased it on Wayfair, this cloth is also durable enough for outside use if need be.

It can often be hard to find seasonal glasses and dishware that isn’t gaudy. However, these stunning wheat wine glasses are an excellent way to celebrate the fall season — and every other season as well, to be honest. Made in the USA, these are dishwasher safe and ready to help you and your guests engage in some lively imbibing (responsibly, of course). These come in a set of 4.

Even if you choose not to make a turkey this year, you can still give thanks to the popular bird by featuring these adorable tea light holders. Six come in a package, and they’re sure to delight your dinner guests. Amazon user (and assumed grandmother) Texas Grandma was quite a fan with her review, stating, “These were so cute with orange battery-powered tea lights on our Thanksgiving table. My young grandsons really enjoyed them. They could also be used with a place card for seating. They are heavy and stand up nicely.”

If you’re having a fancy Thanksgiving dinner, these might not fit the mood. But if you’ve got a bunch of kids in the family that might be prone to a meltdown if dinner isn’t served at a particular time, then these placemats are absolutely perfect. They come in a set of 12 and are a good way to show kids that not only are they more than welcome to the feast, their coloring skills make dinner even more special.

Thanksgiving is time to break out the good napkins. (Or, uh — any napkins, if you’re the kind of person who relies mostly on paper towels for messes.) This seasonal set from Pier 1 is a beautiful — and practical — way to jazz up your table.

Are you not too good with words, but looking for a great way to make the annual Thanksgiving toast? Let this piece do the work. This orange and brown festive pumpkin has a silver-brushed accent text that reads, “Bless the harvest and give thanks.” Simple, yet heartfelt.

Want to make Thanksgiving a more magical experience? Consider dimming the main lights and adding some illumination with this twinkling garland. You can put it right in the center of the table, or even along the edges. Even without using the lights, it’s still a very festive piece of decor.

Placecards turn any dinner into a fancy occasion. They’re also something that kids are really drawn to, so you can give them the task of making sure everyone has a seat at the table. Amazon Reviewer Marci W had another cute use for these after buying them. “These are super cute. [We] use them for Thanksgiving. Instead of name cards, we [write] positive words on them and display them all around the table,” she said. That’s a pretty genius way to celebrate. BTW, this set even comes with 20 cards to write your intentions.

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is viewing the table with so many delicious foods and sides on top. This trivet is a cute way of keeping dishes a bit warmer, which means it’ll both liven up your table spread and perform a pretty important service. This is the product you probably didn’t even realize you needed.

Tealights are a great way to set the mood for any hangout. Even better, these flameless LED tealights don’t require any maintenance — so, you don’t have to worry about a niece or nephew accidentally touching or knocking them over. These battery-operated lights can be used all over the table or you can add them to your centerpiece.

If you plan on having a lot of kids over, this Gratitude Tree might be a wonderful centerpiece that everyone can partake in. All you need to do is write down what you’re thankful for. Really, this is a piece of decor that should be in the center of your table all year round.

If you have fancy napkins, you should invest in a set of fancy napkin holders. Are they necessary during 98% of the dinners you host during the year? Probably not. But, Thanksgiving is the Super Bowl of dinners. You want to treat it with respect and pull out all the stops.

It can often be hard to find seasonal glasses and dishware that isn’t gaudy. However, these stunning wheat wine glasses are an excellent way to celebrate the fall season — and every other season as well, to be honest. Made in the USA, these are dishwasher safe and ready to help you and your guests engage in some lively imbibing (responsibly, of course). These come in a set of 4.

You can drape these around the big plate of turkey, or maybe wrap them around the mashed potatoes. These artificial vines are just an added accessory that will give your table an Instagram-worthy look. They’re an inexpensive way to feel festive and can remain on display through the holiday season.

If you’re hosting a low-key Thanksgiving at your house this year, these festive paper plates are the way to go. (Plus, having extra plates is always a good idea for a crowd.) Now, you can spend less time doing the dishes and more time with family. There are 8 plates per pack.

It’s almost inevitable: Thanksgiving means spills. There are so many hands around the table that something is bound to leak. This tablecloth is affordable for any budget and will save you a few headaches. Plus, the warm colors and gold detail are sure to stun.
