Bright Cellars Chilled Reds and Rosés
Credit: Bright CellarsIf you want to go all the way, sign your hosts up for a Bright Cellars subscription that will treat them to a select number of bottles per month. Otherwise, opt for a bundle of chilled reds and rosés. Maybe they'll even crack a bottle or two open at the feast.

Aera Mini Diffuser
Credit: Aera Nothing smells better than a rich feast cooking in the kitchen. However, the post-feast aromas aren't quite as sweet, so give your host the gift of a fresh scent by way of this plug-in diffuser. It can be set on a timer with several strength settings.
For the Pumpkin Enthusiast
Le Creuset Figural Pumpkin Stoneware Baker

Le Creuset Figural Pumpkin Stoneware Baker
Credit: NordstromSadly, the pie won't come out in a pumpkin shape, but that's probably for the best. This is a regular pie dish in terms of shape and cooking ability, but it comes with a pumpkin-shaped cast-iron lid that makes serving whatever delicious treat is underneath extra festive.

L'AVANT Collective Fresh Linen Luxury Room Spray
Credit: L'Avant CollectiveThis home spray is like perfume for your interiors. "It smells so fresh," says associate shopping editor Jessica Cherner. "I recommend spraying it near soft surfaces like sofas and beds because the mist kind of sinks into the fabric. If you spray it near a hard surface, like a table, you see the droplets, which I don't love."

Coravin Pivot + Wine Preservation System
Credit: Williams SonomaIf there's one occasion to break out a few bottles, it's a holiday dinner that's heavily focused on a big meal. Sometimes, though, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, and we can't finish what we started. If you can relate, this system is about to be a game-changer. Use it to pour instead of popping the cork, and it'll be as if you never opened the bottle. Any wine that's left after dinner will stay fresh for up to four weeks.
For the Beauty Guru

Bed Threads Scalloped Linen Napkins, Set of 4
Credit: AnthropologieOn regular nights, a folded paper towel will suffice, but on big occasions, it's time to break out the linen napkins. This set of four, which comes in five colors with scalloped edges, is easily our favorite.

Caraway Food Storage Container
Credit: CarawayIs there a holiday more geared toward leftovers than Thanksgiving? We think not. These durable containers are made of nontoxic, nonstick, ceramic-coated glass, with Air Release technology to keep food fresh. The best part? No lingering smells can escape through the glass.
For the Decorator

Credit: WayfairResin is a great material for coasters because it's highly durable and moisture resistant. No matter how much condensation rolls down a glass of beer, it won't absorb into the coaster. These are also a bit retro-feeling with the checkered pattern and pearlescent gloss.

Frontgate Wine Bottle Crystal Veil
Credit: FrontgateChampagne is fun and glamorous all on its own, but why not make it even more special with its own crystal-adorned veil? No, it doesn't do anything other than make the bottle more beautiful, but who wouldn't love a dolled-up sip?

West Elm Pure Currant Recycled Glass Vase
Credit: West ElmThere's no such thing as too many vases—especially ones that look just as good when they're filled with flowers as they do when they're empty. This one is made of recycled glass, which makes it a solid pick in our book.
