Far more than just an excuse to feast, Thanksgiving is a cherished opportunity to reunite with loved ones and honor family traditions, whether it be holding a pie bake-off or watching the Macy’s parade.

If your home is hosting the festivities this year, we’ve got you covered with our top picks for an unforgettable evening.

Set the tone for the season of pumpkin with this autumnal dish towel—it's sure to add some spice to you or a loved one's kitchen decor.
The one that started it all. Born in a professional kitchen out of the need for something better. Tested by Michelin Star chefs and fearless home cooks the world over. Relentlessly refined to be the perfect companion to any cooking adventure.
Did someone say casserole? Bet you’ve never met a baking dish like this one: It’s built from cast iron and finished off with an enameled glaze all over—so it heats evenly and holds onto that heat for longer, then cleans up easy right after, no seasoning needed.
Sparkle & sip. Take one look at these gems, and it’ll probably come as no surprise that they’re handmade by master glassmakers in Italy. Every goblet and tumbler here gets its shine from blown lead-free glass, plus added texture all over.

An essential piece of cookware for family dinners, parties, and holiday celebrations, the Cuisinart Roasting Pans are designed to hold turkeys, chickens, and large roasts. Riveted stainless steel handles make placing the roasters into the oven, and lifting them out, safe and hassle free.
A paring knife is every chef’s go-to tool for precision jobs in the kitchen, and our Swiss Classic Paring Knife 10 cm is a knife drawer standout not only for its fresh color palette but also for its sharp edge and pointed tip.
Autumn glory. Fall harvests aren’t just about pumpkins, corn, and squash: Autumn’s also the time of year when grain fields go from green to golden.

Winter's greetings. Go for a lighter, brighter holiday theme this year: Swap out denser fir wreaths for airy eucalyptus, fragrant cedar, and bright white tallow berries (which we think look like drops of snow on the greenery).
Candle companions. Give your candlesticks a handmade home with these lovely wooden gems. Each one was lathe-turned in Pennsylvania from sustainably sourced white ash, then finished off with organic milk paint.

Go for a spin. There may be more glamorous centerpieces, but are there any as satisfying as a good ol’ lazy Susan? This one’s got ball-bearing swivels for a smooth turn, a padded base to keep your table unscuffed, and is made of rich, beautiful walnut or ash.
