Pumpkin pie may not be the prettiest dish on the dessert table, but it's a must for a traditional Thanksgiving feast. Instantly elevate its presentation with this gold-stemmed, pumpkin-shaped pie dish that's both festive and functional.

The star of your Thanksgiving table deserves to be presented on a striking platter, and this one is perfect for passing the turkey. A greeting at the platter's edge adds a festive touch, while a watercolor image keeps the theme colorful. 

A mug may seem like a weak gift at first, but when it'll keep their drinks warm for as long as they want and at whatever temperature they desire, things get a little more high-tech. 

The Ember mug keeps their coffee or tea at the exact temperature they want it when they set a degree in the app. Or if they don't want to fuss with it, they can set their drink on the smart coaster, which will keep the drink hot, too.

A pre-dinner cocktail never hurt anyone, and if your host enjoys whiskey straight-up, they'll love this blend. This smooth-drinking whiskey is aged in six different kinds of wood, giving it a complex flavor. Notes of butterscotch, plum, and clove will tickle their palate as they take a swig.

Plus, Greenbar Distillery plants a tree for every bottle sold, so it's kind of a 2-in-1 gift. 

Maybe Thanksgiving isn't the meal to break out the hot sauce for, but if your host likes it hot, then they'll enjoy this set of top sellers from Truff. The set comes with a black truffle hot sauce, white truffle hot sauce, and black truffle oil, which your host can use in any of their upcoming dishes.

After a long day of standing on their feet and hosting friends and family, a nice, long bath is most definitely in order for your host. This set comes with three different bath salts, and each is intended to relax muscles and help stress wash down the drain. It makes a perfect Thanksgiving gift for someone who's always on their feet.

Puzzles are an activity the whole family can do together, and they're also a great Thanksgiving gift for your host. 

Mimeo allows you to customize puzzles with any photo you'd like, whether the gift is for your mom who's hosting, your best friend, or your neighbor who invited you over for dinner. And if you want to treat the little ones, you can also have kid-friendly puzzles printed as well (with larger and fewer pieces).

There's nothing more annoying than getting food all over your cookbooks, iPad, or printed recipes while you're in the middle of cooking or baking. This cute cutting board-style cookbook stand solves that problem. 

Not only does it keep your host's cookbook open to the page they need, but it can also serve as an iPad stand if they're looking at a recipe online. Single sheets of paper will also stand up, keeping their counter clear and their recipes splatter-free.

Coasters are a small but useful gift that anyone can use! These sliced agate ones add a touch of sparkle to any tablescape or coffee table without feeling too flashy. We love these amber-hued ones that reflect the warm and cozy colors of fall. Plus, this option is easy to clean, should a drop of wine or coffee spill on them.

Modern candlesticks and candle holders are all the rage right now, so why not treat your host to one? This U-shaped sculpture can hold up to four taper candles — and because it’s white, it’s perfect for year-round use.

Imagine how pretty this would look with amber-colored candles for Thanksgiving, and you could even throw in a set of green ones for Christmas.

Apartment-dwelling hosts will love this tiny fireplace. It's safe enough to burn inside, and it runs on isopropyl alcohol, which you can buy at your local drug store or pharmacy. It's a nice way to bring the outdoors in during the holidays, even if you live in a big city. 

If your host is a plant parent, they'll love this propagation stand. Three small vases hang from a metal rod to display any sprouting plants they might have. Our advice? Pop a couple of propagations in before giving it as a Thanksgiving gift.

After all that turkey and stuffing, everyone needs a nap. A warm, cozy blanket isn't just a cute home accessory, it's also what you'll find your host wrapped up in shortly after dinner. These thick knits are made from super soft chenille yarn, which has a nice, slightly weighted feel to it. It comes in three colors: cream, gray, and tan.

The best part about this picture frame? You don't necessarily have to pick the pictures that go in it — or rather, on it. This digital frame has a 10-inch screen that can display photos and videos, which anyone with the app (that's paired with a specific frame) can upload. The frame can hold over 10,000 photos in the cloud, so your giftee will never run out of space. 

Give thanks year-round with a 52-week gratitude journal that'll guide your giftee to focus on being thankful for what they have —both the big things in life and the smaller, simpler joys. 

Each weekly spread features an inspirational quote, space to write three things that they are thankful for each day of the week, and a checkpoint. 

Celebrating from afar this year? Let your usual Thanksgiving crew know you're thinking of them with a gorgeous fall bouquet that'll be the star of their holiday table — right next to the turkey, of course. 

This Thanksgiving, the turkey won't be the only one dressed-up. Turn an ordinary bottle of wine into a sentimental statement with a customizable, self-adhesive paper label that'll make even a $10 bottle look fancy AF.

Family recipes truly shine during the holidays, and this Thanksgiving gift can hold the secrets to some of your host's most treasured dishes. From Grandma’s candied yams to Dad’s honey-glazed ham, it's a sentimental way for them to keep a log of some of their most treasured dinner-table memories.

An elevated at-home alternative to the too-sweet, Starbucks-famous drink, this easy, instant pumpkin spice latte mix makes for a festive way to end the night. 

It includes five coffees and creamers, featuring a combination of fall spices that are blended with Copper Cow Coffee's signature Vietnamese grounds.

How unreal would a silky pour of Runamok's maple syrup be on top of some leftover stuffing waffles in the morning? 

The sweet stuff is a pantry staple well beyond the holiday season, so stock them up with a set of three flavors: Cinnamon-Vanilla, Bourbon Barrel-Aged, and Sugarmaker's Cut. 

Put family at the center of your holiday table with a Thanksgiving gift that serves up sweet sentiments. Atop its ceramic lid, a stamped-in quote reads, “With this dish we serve our family… our love for one another, and our gratitude for the many blessings we have received.” Cute, huh?

Put down the sharpened chef's knife: Every holiday host needs an electric carver, and this set will make slicing through bread and meat a breeze, thanks to its stainless steel micro-serrated blade and serving fork.

Their whole home can feel like fall year-round with a spiced pumpkin latte-scented candle that smells even better than the real thing. Comforting notes of fresh pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves will no doubt make them feel warm and fuzzy inside. 

Turn your favorite beer drinker into a beer brewer with an at-home kit that can make 1 gallon or ten 12-ounce bottles of festive and frothy fall-flavored ale. It's inspired by everyone's favorite pumpkin coffee drink with a recipe that includes lactose sugar for a super creamy mouthfeel — just like a latte.

In charge of bringing a dessert to the Thanksgiving potluck? Save yourself from a full day of chopping and baking with this decadent salted caramel apple pie from Harry & David.

Its traditional cinnamony apple pie filling is elevated by a delicious cream cheese crust, salted caramel filling, and walnut topping.
