Why Keep it Easy?

See, while I do love Thanksgiving dinner, it’s possible it can also be a lot of work. Okay, it is a lot of work. That’s why the purpose of this post is to keep it easy. If you love to decorate but tend to over stress on it, then this is for you. I’m giving you an easy list of things you can do with minimal work. That way, you can have your thanksgiving dinner decorations and still eat your dinner. 😉

In short, I won’t be sharing how to create your own cornucopia filled with fruits and veggies fresh from the garden you’ve been growing all year placed on top of your hand made table runner with hand lettered place cards at each table setting complete with turkey thankful cards with each person’s name on them.

I mean, do you really need all that? I am all about cutting through the bullshit and just providing quality items that are both fun and useful, so that’s what I’m doing.

However, remember, this post is all about making it easy. No need to stress yourself out over decorating, it should be fun! If it’s not fun, just don’t do it. Easy-peasy.

First up, you can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without having to cook it, right? Each of these three items are things that are actually useful as well. If you’re going to spend money on, it mine as well be useful, right?


Pumpkin Spice Apron

I have a confession to make, I don’t own an apron. See, I’m not really the one that makes Thanksgiving dinner. I’m more into the decorations, clearly. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t useful. Get a cute one for Thanksgiving. If you love pumpkin spice (I mean, who doesn’t?) for fall, then this one is for you.

Gobble ’til You Wobble Kitchen Towel

If I have to tell you the importance of towels in the kitchen, then you might be in the wrong place. Towels are great, and you really can’t have too many of them.

Be Thankful Serving Tray

A serving tray is not something I would usually put down as needing, however, they can be quite handy. I actually have a tray similar to this on my table all the time because it gives me a place to store napkins, salt and pepper, and a cute floral arrangement. It makes it easy to move things off the table when need be too.

3. For Eating Thanksgiving Dinner

Finally, once everything is ready and the table is set, it’s time to dine! Get plates and napkins you don’t have to wash for starters. Then add cute things like napkin rings, wine charms and even a wine tote or label.


Paper Plates for Easy Clean Up

Look, I know that Thanksgiving can be the time to break out the fine china. However, I’m a big fan of paper plates. I don’t even own fine china. No kidding. There’s going to be a lot of clean up regardless of the plates you use so why not make it easier on yourself and choose paper. You can make them cute!

Wine Bottle Labels

This next idea is meant to be a hostess gift. Wine is always a good idea. These labels are a great way to make the bottle just a little fancier. If you’re headed to someone else’s place this Thanksgiving and you’re looking for a personal gift then this is a great option.

Labels come in sets of 6 so use them for several gifts! Or, add them to your own bottles. That way, when you set out bottles of wine for dinner, they’ll be festive!

Great product. Sticks well but also easy to remove to reuse bottles. Professional looking and forgiving if you need to adjust because you didn’t put it in straight. Recommend.

Wine Charms

If you’re staying home for Thanksgiving but having several people to your house then this last idea might be for you. Wine charms are great because they are useful. I’m all about useful. It’s an easy and cute way that everyone can keep their drinks straight.
