Order these now, and impress your guests on Turkey Day.

Thanksgiving can be a lot of work if you are hosting. From preparing the Thanksgiving appetizers to the turkey recipe to the delectable Thanksgiving desserts, you'll be plenty busy cooking up a storm on Turkey Day. Or maybe you'll be plenty busy picking up pre-made food: we see you and we're not judging! While setting the table is one more task to check off your to-do list, unless you enlist the help of a family member (it's always fun to involve the kids here, you can never learn which side the water glass goes on too early in our opinion!) it doesn't have to be a chore.

Get excited about the holiday by decorating your table in style. You even set up your Thanksgiving table setting ahead of time, such as the night before, so it's one less thing to manage on the big day. From natural fibers to woven textures and pretty paper placemats you can toss after dinner to save yourself some work, we've got plenty of versatile options you can shop now. Many of these fun and colorful choices can be enjoyed all season long, not just on Turkey Day, because they boast fall motifs you can enjoy for weeks. And if the little ones are coming, opt for activity placemats that double as Thanksgiving crafts for kids to keep them busy while you work. On the other hand, kids of all ages just may enjoy a little coloring session!
