Set the table for your Thanksgiving feast

Thanksgiving is a fall feast that is celebrated by many Canadian households. It's a time of year when we gather together to eat, drink and enjoy each other's company. Invite your guests to feel warm and welcome by adding special and thoughtful details to your table setting.

Beautiful plate settings inspired by the season

Choosing dinnerware for Thanksgiving is like picking out the perfect outfit for a party - you want it to be stylish, durable, and ready to handle a little gravy spill with grace! Choose dishes with a handcrafted look like GLADELIG to instantly give that earthy fall vibe. For the finishing touch, try adding natural elements from the outdoors like pinecones, dried flowers or branches - this will bring in the beautiful colours of the season without costing a cent!

Rustic details for a wholesome look

Swap your usual sleek serveware for something more rustic like wood chopping boards to showcase all the delicious appetizers from cheeses to charcuterie. To enhance the cozy vibe, layer in more texture to your table setting with a table runner or placemats made from natural materials.

Centerpiece ideas that create ambience

Create a welcoming atmosphere by using candles and dried florals as a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. The candles provide the warm, flickering spotlight, while the dried florals add a touch of rustic elegance, making your table the star of the show. Just be sure to keep the flames away from the foliage - no one wants a surprise pyrotechnics display with their pumpkin pie!

More connection. Less perfection.

Be prepared for unexpected guests with spare seating close at hand. Mixing and matching stools and folding chairs for Thanksgiving can add a fun, eclectic vibe to your dining setup. Stools are great for creating a casual, bar-like atmosphere, perfect for the kids' table or a cozy corner. Folding chairs, on the other hand, are your secret weapon for accommodating surprise guests without cramping your style. They can be easily stored away when not in use, making them both practical and versatile.
