With Thanksgiving In Mind

{ Via Vogue }

Now that Halloween is over, and the frost is on the pumpkin (in some places), it's time to get on to the next holiday ~ Thanksgiving. If you are hosting, like I am, it's not too early to prep. This post features hosting helpers and inspiration, including a little black apron, chic dripless candles, the best gravy base and more! 
 
Thankful Place Card
Adding some type of decor at each place setting makes your guests feel special. In this case, they will know that you are "thankful" for them. This shop also offers the words "blessed" and "gather." And the words come in gold, too. It's a small detail that goes a long way for under $4.00

Cynthia Rowley Ruffle Apron
Any creative cook is most likely a bit messy in the Thanksgiving kitchen. I mean there is all of that taste testing, whipping, and stirring. This designer apron will protect your outfit and keep you looking cute until dinner!

The Laundress Stain Solution & Brush
It happens at every dinner party. Someone knocks over their red wine glass on the white table cloth. Then there is the gravy dripping as it is passed. Anything can happen, but no need to panic. The Laundress has the right solution for your stain. I swear by it. Be prepared!

Elegant Disposables
Having a crowd? Or maybe you just dislike the clean up. With disposable dishes as elegant as these, no china is needed. These and more pretty plates are offered at this fab Etsy shop!

GreenPan Sale
So how is your roaster from last year? Making mashed potatoes in a slow cooker? Now is the time to replace the old with something new and non-toxic Everything is 40% off!

Dripless Ombre Candles
If you are setting a table, candlelight is really a must in my mind. These dripless ombre candle are handmade from natural bees and soy wax.
 So lovely.

Williams Sonoma Gravy Base
I like to cook healthy and make everything from scratch, and I mean everything - except for Thanksgiving gravy. My friend, Mollie, turned me on to this product, and it never disappoints. Cooking gravy at the last second on this special day is nerve racking. This base makes it ever so much easier. Just add your favorite stock, the turkey drippings, and wine! Get it now, as they sell out closer to turkey day.

Thankful Holiday Doormat
Who knows what the weather will be on Thanksgiving? If it's snowy or rainy, you will want all shoes off. This mat will help, and offer a warm welcome to your guests.

The Original PieCaken
If you don't bake, consider this cake. The sweet version of the Turducken. it serves 10-12 people and features pecan pie on the bottom, pumpkin pie in the middle, and spice cake on top, all layered together with cinnamon buttercream and topped with apple pie filling!  It's a real showstopper. I have always had good luck with my Goldbelly orders.         GoldBelly

Potato Ricer
My mashed potatoes are hard to beat flavor-wise.  I mean, fresh garlic, cream cheese, butter, heavy cream and plenty of Himalayan Sea Salt, all add up to a taste made in heaven. But I often am not happy with the texture. Everyone says that this ricer will give you "light as air" mashed.  

Flower Tea Light Candles
I go through a lot of tea lights or votive candles every year. I stock them. Most are not as lovely as these. Handmade by the same Etsy seller that created the taper candles above. Beautiful even unlit, and can be ordered scented or unscented. I have purchased the Moroccan Cashmere scent multiple times. They are packaged nicely so you could gift them for less than $10.
Little Black Apron
If the designer apron I showed earlier, was too pricey, this is not at under $30. And isn't it adorable? It will elevate your look in the kitchen, and bring smiles to the table.
