6 Thanksgiving Must-Haves Designers Are Rushing Out to Buy This Week

Hurry! You don't want to host a full house without these essentials.

By Meghan ShousePublished: Nov 26, 2024

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means the time to gorge ourselves on pumpkin pie, spend the afternoon watching football, or run a Turkey Trot is upon us. While the main event is, of course, the meal, so much more goes into this autumnal holiday than the food, from the floral arrangements to the tablescape to the extra household items to make your guests feel at home. However, there's always that looming fear that you missed something important—and sometimes, it turns out to be right.

Whether it's your first or fiftieth time hosting Thanksgiving for your loved ones, preparing a huge meal and getting a house suitable for guests is a constant whirlwind, both physically and mentally. While you may have your menu set, maybe it's the other hosting-related items that you've forgotten about. Did you buy enough festive napkins for everyone? Do you have enough taper candles to last the entire evening? Well, luckily for you, we reached out to our trusted network of interior designers and asked what pieces they're rushing to buy before Thanksgiving so you can add them to cart immediately.

Below, find six designer-approved items that'll get your house hosting-ready for the holiday.

Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Rectangular Covered Casserole Dish

"Since Thanksgiving is all about the tablescape, we are making sure we have good oven-to-table dishes for easy hosting, or if you're feeling extra grateful: host gifts. Especially if you are going to someone's home, something classic like a Le Creuset that can pop right in the oven and warm up is great."
