As invitations for Thanksgiving weekend suddenly become imminent, so does the need for a well-conceived host gift. As friends and family gather for the feast of the year, we have some great ideas for you to greet them with.

Mom has always been right about showing up to a Thanksgiving dinner empty-handed as unacceptable. As friends and family gather for the feast of the year, we have some great ideas for you to greet them with. Why not a thoughtful gift for your host or hostess that they didn’t even know he or she needed?

You can’t really go wrong with food, flowers, or some candles. Something for the tabletop is equally ideal: while families usually have hand-me-down linens and placemats for special occasions, a young urbanite likely hasn’t made such an investment.

Some serving ware, too, will be much appreciated: a classic serving platter can be used for chips and dip, for mixing a pie, and for storing leftovers.
