Thanksgiving Hosting Essentials

{ Via: Etsy }

Nothing is more meaningful than gathering together family and friends for a special meal. Are you hosting this year? I am, and my mind is spinning with details already. So today you will find all of the essentials that will make your (and my own ) Thanksgiving memorable and so much easier.

HERE: 13 Hostess Must Haves
Fabulous Flatware 
A turkey dinner is no place for plastic utensils. Now you can afford to have some stylish silverware when it all starts at just $1.18 each. You must check out the selection at

Faux Fallen Leaves Placemat
I have decided to add some color to my table this year. Normally I use a black linen placemat, but after finding these marvelous mats on super clearance, I am changing it up. Isn't it fun? My Versace Medusa dinnerware matches it perfectly. I will anchor the table with a black tablecloth. These are hard to pass up at under $2.00 each. 

Chic Candles
An absolute must for a terrific tablescape! MacKenzie-Childs has designed the best tapers that I have seen anywhere. The collection is fabulous and worth a look.

Hemstitch Cocktail Napkins
A cloth cocktail napkin elevates the experience. they are ever so much more elegant than a soggy paper one. This set of 12 is now on sale for $15 and change. You just can't beat that price. Stock up for hostess gifts and holiday hosting, too.

Metal, Wood, and Leather Bar Cart
Serve Mad Man style. With most family gatherings the cocktails are as essential as the food.  This stylish server will add the pizazz to your party. It's affordable and the perfect size even for small spaces.

Cuisinart Ceramic Coated Knive Set
Turkey and trimmings need good knives. Admittedly, I don't have any knife skills, but I do have this set. They are great! And the price is ever so right. The handles are faux wood, but really upscale looking. Real wood handles do not age well, anyway. I promise that you cant go wrong with these kitchen essentials.

An Extra Oven
At Thanksgiving, an extra oven is like having another pair of hands. I happen to own this oven. We bought it when my very expensive Italian double ovens broke. It is fabulous! I mean it can do everything, even air fry. If you are worried about your own oven situation, you won't be sorry that you made this purchase. You will use it long after the holidays.

Wine Savings!
A day or Thanksgiving without wine......well, I can't imagine not offering it. It's pretty essential. Here's help for this year. Take $30 off your first $100 order. Use Code: NOVNEW. This deal ends 11/11 so act fast.

Napkin Folding Ideas
I tend to fluff my napkins in the wine glasses, because of the texture and dimension it adds to the tablescape.  But if you love a folded napkin, click through the link for fun DIY tutorials at 

Cocktail Picks
I always make sure that I have picks on hand, and I don't mean plain toothpicks. Why do basic when you can have something like these.? This brand has a great collection, and you get 100 for less than $10.

Double Sided Cutting Board
New and I think that I need one. This board had me at that phone stand! How perfect for following along with your recipe while you slice and dice.

Chalkboard Cheese Table
This is fun. A step by step guide to creating the best cheese board ever. You are sure to pick up an idea or two. And while you are visiting this beautiful website know that you can save 25% on $500 orders or 10% off $300 orders with code: STYLE10

Gravy Base
I am a from scratch cook. Mainly because I do not want the carcinogenic chemicals that are in prepared foods.  But several years ago my bud, Mollie, told me about this base. I usually like to serve some kind of wine reduction sauce and a flour gravy with the turkey. But working with flour at the last minute for me is sketchy. I just don't have time for the lumps. This base was everything Mollie said and more. I added pan drippings, sour cream and heavy cream, for a perfect gravy! I have ordered several this week as they are on sale with Free Shipping. I promise, You will love it!
