Shopping Guide: Table Settings and Serving Pieces to Buy Early This Year

October 6, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

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!

12 of the Best Decorative Pumpkins for Autumn

August 24, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

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.)

7 Halloween Decorations to Use All Season

September 11, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN

I almost hate to breathe a word about Halloween and catapult us right to the end of October, but the undeniable crispness in the air along with my first seasonal sip of pumpkin beer the other night has put me in the mood for fall. And with autumn comes the desire to introduce some moodier decor into our home with a little bit of pre-Halloween shopping. It seems I’m not the only one, either. Retailers are pulling out the macabre merchandise earlier and earlier each year.

Aside from a few Target jack-o’-lanterns, I don’t have much in the way of Halloween-specific decorations — which is exactly what I prefer. I think Halloween decorations are best when they’re not limited to one spooky night of the year. I’ve rounded up seven seasonal decorations and serving pieces that are a little dark and a little moody, but would work just as well with your autumnal decor as they do on Oct. 31.

That pumpkin ale, however, is limited to a one-and-done endeavor.
