If you're a Thanksgiving dinner guest instead of the host or hostess this year—congrats! This means you won't have to spend the entire day cooking a turkey feast, perfecting your Thanksgiving table settings, and planning Thanksgiving activities to keep the kids busy. But if you're off the hook for all of that, it likely means someone else isn't, which is exactly why you shouldn't show up empty-handed on the big day. Not only will a Thanksgiving gift show how truly thankful you are, but it will probably score an invite to next year's dinner.
Luckily, we've done most of the (turkey) legwork for you. 😂 Here, you'll find Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving gifts that work perfectly for almost every age, relationship, and style. Whether you are, in fact, looking for a host or hostess gift or are searching instead for a relative or best friend gift, you're likely to find something on our list that appeals to you—and to them! What's more, some of these gifts even double as Thanksgiving table décor: A charming, personalized serving platter is the perfect gift for bakers, and it'll elevate the entire look of their Thanksgiving dessert buffet. Meanwhile, a beautiful cornucopia filled with autumnal florals can double as a Thanksgiving centerpiece as well as a thoughtful present.
Shop our picks for a Thanksgiving gift, and it'll give them one more reason to say, "Thank you!" And now that choosing a gift is off your plate—all you need to do is pick out your cute Thanksgiving outfit and get to cooking that Thanksgiving casserole. Cheers!
