While I know plenty of people are looking forward to Halloween in a few weeks, I’m actually looking forward to Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is the official kickoff to the holiday season and a lot less stressful than the December holidays when you take away the pressure of gift-giving. Plus the food is unparalleled!

I’m an event planner and that Type A personality certainly influences me to pre-plan as much as I can — especially as the holiday season approaches. One of my top tips? Shop for your Thanksgiving table settings and serving pieces early. It gives you the luxury of time to sift through pieces online before they sell out, so you can curate that perfect holiday table. Plus, you don’t have to worry about shipping delays.

Below, you’ll find 12 of my favorite pieces for Thanksgiving (or, really, any upcoming holiday or dinner party) to consider as we head into soiree season!

I miss the early days of Etsy when it was a platform for artists rather than mass produced items masquerading as handmade. However, with a little bit of digging, there are beautiful pieces to discover. Here few that recently caught my eye:

*I bought these in the crystal version and they are stunning! The price point is unbelievable for such a quality statement earring. They aren’t as heavy as they look either.

12 Tabletop Buys for Thanksgiving

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE | TEN | ELEVEN | TWELVE

Thanksgiving — and Friendsgiving! — celebrations will be here before you know it! It sounds like I might be hosting our friends this year, which has me scouring the internet for fresh serving and decor pieces. I love the idea of mixing this brass garland (which can easily be reused for December hosting) with a mismatched set of candlesticks — either sourced from your local thrift shop or already curated right here. And can we just take a moment to admire that turkey serving dish. It looks like it could be a vintage find!

12 of the Best Decorative Pumpkins for Autumn

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE | TEN | ELEVEN | TWELVE

I know it’s early for autumnal content and I promise not to go full bore into it just yet. However, I’ve been getting a lot of fall promotions recently and if past experience is any indication, the best decorative pumpkins get swept up quickly once those emails start rolling out. My suggestion is to shop your favorites now and tuck them away until mid-September. I have No. 2 from last year, which is a steal at just $5. This year, I have my eye on No. 1. (You won’t see any jack-o-lanterns in this roundup, though, as I prefer to spend my money on pieces that are versatile enough to keep on display through Thanksgiving.)
