Editor’s Picks: 11 Items To Set The Perfect Thanksgiving Table

Whether your table is set for two or twenty-two this holiday season, having the right tableware and serverware is a must. Below, take a look at 11 products we’re eyeing to make our upcoming feasts memorable.

The Perfect Place Settings

The Kodo 4-piece place setting from dumae brings four handcrafted ceramic forms together in Blanc, defined by organic edges and designed to layer beautifully across the table. Its understated, tonal palette creates a refined foundation for Thanksgiving place settings, pairing effortlessly with seasonal linens, autumnal florals, and warm metallic accents.

Lighting To Set The Mood

Pooky Lighting’s Scoon Cordless Table Lamp easily fits on bar carts, tucked between bottles of brandy. And with nine fun colorways to choose from, it’ll match any festive theme or décor.

A Textural, Folky Touch

These embroidered, folk-inspired Tapestry Placemat Sets, a collaboration between West Elm and Lone Fox, are perfect for adding a rich charm to your table setting. Plus, they’re machine washable, which guarantees a worry-free dining experience.

A Double-Duty Decanter

We love this classically designed mouthblown carafe that is the perfect size for decanting, aerating, and serving your favorite wine or liquor. Skillfully crafted from mouth-blown glass, it boasts a broad base and curved neck, allowing optimal aeration. 

Personalized Placecards

Adding placecards to your table can take your Thanksgiving from casual to intentional. Pop them into these pumpkin placecard holders (currently on sale!) for a small detail that makes a big impact.

A Conversation-Starting Candelabra

A simple centerpiece is always a good idea — but simple doesn’t have to mean boring! In an intertwined design of morning glories, this 100% recycled aluminum candelabra from Green Row features sculpted petals and a light brass finish. Just add tapers for a romantic centerpiece that lights up a room.

Timeless Table Linens

A vintage or antique tablecloth adds a special homey touch to a holiday table. If passed-down heirlooms aren’t an option within your own family, Etsy and French Garden House are great options to source one-of-a-kind linens.

A Platter That Lets The Turkey Shine

Part of Villa Bologna Pottery’s Scalloped Design collection, the cream scalloped large oval platter has been designed to visually enhance your table setting without detracting from the food it’s presenting.

Serious (But Not Too Serious) Serving Utensils

Dainty meets funky with the Ellis flatware from Blue Pheasant. Made of stainless steel, this set is solid enough to handle your dinner, but adds a touch of whimsy with a spiral motif.

A Graceful Gravy Boat

Inspired by an antique design, this graceful hand-cast Italian pewter gravy boat includes a platter and a spoon for ladling. Sauces, served.

Don’t Forget Dessert Plates!

While white is classic for a formal dinner, dessert is the perfect opportunity to bust out your funkiest tableware. Designed in Italy by a heritage brand founded in 1876, these MoMA-exclusive Geocromia porcelain dessert plates will delight your guests and end your meal on a high note.
