Thanksgiving is all about reuniting with loved ones, eating carb-heavy grub, regaling in mutual lore, and taking time to be grateful—truly grateful, beyond those everyday passing thoughts—for your lot in life.

Since thankfulness is very much on the menu each Turkey Day, what better way to tap into that ethos than with a spot-on gift for your gracious hostess? After all, she’s been busy trying to ensure the seasonal get-together is an affair to remember—browsing Pinterest boards, ordering table runners, and basting birds. The least you can do is pay it forward: in a very chic, very inspired way.

Below are our hand-picked selections of 20 Thanksgiving hostess gifts she’s totally going to fall for. These are so good, you might want to order two of each.

Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Rose Shower Spa Bundle

Putting eucalyptus branches in showers is all the rage now, but this gift takes it up a notch by releasing a divine mixture of eucalyptus, rose, wheat, and lavender aromas. After all that cooking and inevitable post-dinner cleaning, all she’ll want to do is shower off the fatigue. This gift makes it even more incentivizing.

“Brazos Bottom” Pecan Pie

You've heard of “don't mess with Texas,” but have you heard of “don’t mess with Texas’s pecan pies?” This dessert from the family-owned Goode Co. Barbeque, shipped fresh, is made of pecans harvested from the banks of the Brazos River (hence the name). A gift that elicits oohs and aahs and mmms is a good gift in anyone’s book.

Herbiflora Cheese Knives

Cheese knives are an essential buy: especially when they look as cute as these with their gold, botanical-inspired handles. Whether she’s a fan of Gruyère or Gorgonzola, this three-set purchase will surely make her smile (or “say cheese,” if you will).

Effervescent Tablets Tube

You have a hunch she's going to mention wellness-related New Year’s resolutions at the Thanksgiving table, so this gift is ideal for expediting her journey to better health. 8Green’s effervescent tablets are loaded with phytonutrients that build up immunity in any season, but they come in especially handy during the early winter. Purchase one tube so that if she hates it, she doesn’t have to Google this product’s return policy.

Gift Card

This gift card will finally allow someone else to do the cooking for her. You can load it up with $25–$500, depending on how close you are with the hostess—treating her to a feast of über-American entrées and iconic cheesecake, of course.

Leather Cigarette Case

Holiday hostesses have got to be some of the most stressed people out there. If she’s notorious among the friend group for squeezing in a little mid-meal smoke break once in a while, this woven leather cigarette case—which can be used for other puffs of choice—will take that experience to new heights.

Two-Tone Striped Tree Skirt with Pom Poms

Want to get her an item she’s guaranteed to use in the next month? Enter: a Christmas tree skirt, which has potential to take a holiday living room tableau from 0 to 100. This one benefits from a vibrant combination of colors. And those pom-poms? Pure joy.

Willow Embroidered Washcloths

This towel pair is as feminine as it is elegantly understated, made from a long-staple cotton material that just might be the softest you’ve ever touched. After all, little luxuries make life worth living.

Reposado Tequila

Don Fulano is one of the last family-owned tequilas that is fully self-sufficient in agave supply, meaning their farm-to-bottle process is as pristine as can be. This particular reposado is rich and oaky and best paired with smoked pork or red meat. Keep that in mind as you get a better sense of what’s on the Friendsgiving menu this year.

Merry Market 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

’Tis the season for immersing yourself in some jigsaw action, hot bevy in hand. This 1,000-piece puzzle perfectly captures the spirit of an outdoor holiday market—replete with dogs, strolling humans, and a handcrafted ornaments stand. If you can’t teleport yourself to this dreamy scene ASAP, a puzzle version is the next best thing.

Turkish Linen Bath Set

Everyone’s late-November and early-December forecast should simply be: baths. Specifically, those long, luxe, bubble-powered soaks that feel akin to a baptism. This bath set, handwoven on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, will leave her feeling well taken care of.

Ikebana Vase

If she offhandedly mentioned getting into ikebana in the latter part of the year, this find will win you the “most thoughtful guest” award in no time. Encourage her pursuit of Japanese flower arranging with a starter vase “designed to honor every flower placed within it, from stem to crown.”

Mini Garden Tealight Lamp

Weirder things have been brought to holiday get-togethers than a lamp offering, trust us. Your hostess will be charmed by just how dainty this particular wicker lighting fixture is. Get it in the wired or tea light variety, and let there be light!

Leyla Siena Tablecloth

If she’s hosting a Thanksgiving fete, she is surely going to appreciate a li’l tablecloth moment. This gem is 100 percent cotton and comes in four colorways. ELLE DECOR’s stamp of approval is on the Siena hue, though, because it instantly evokes fall foliage and toasty evenings by the fireplace.

Color Block Scarf

This mohair-and-wool-blend scarf—from the online marketplace Goodee, run by eco-conscious tastemakers and brothers Byron and Dexter Peart—will keep her warm throughout even the most bitter winter weather, without sacrificing personal style.

Square Tapers

These obelisk-shaped taper candles have a lot going for them, including the fact that they’re made from 100 percent pure North American beeswax, come in picture-perfect packaging, and are just what she needs to make her abode a little cozier this fall.

Home: A Celebration Book

Charlotte Moss collected a cornucopia of beautiful remembrances in this anthology, including essays by Delia Kenza, Jon Meacham, and Julia Reed. What better thing to celebrate at Thanksgiving than the idea of home? Plus, a portion of this book’s proceeds benefits the No Kid Hungry charity.

Turkey Ornament

John Derian’s decorative objects—imbued with whimsy and a childlike sense of playfulness as they are—never fail to delight. This turkey, handblown in Poland, will be the perfect addition to her tree (should she already have one up in November).

High Polish Bronze Walnut Place Card Holder

We are nuts for these bronze walnut place-card holders, whose molds were formed from their actual, real-life counterparts. Everyone has a place at your generous hostess’s table, but that place just got a bit more glam.

Caviar Gift Set

Indulgence is at the heart of the holiday season, and that’s just the sensation she’ll be getting with white sturgeon caviar (alongside a mother-of-pearl spoon and handy opener key). The 30-gram package is for one person. Not that she’d want to share something this good, even if it was bigger.
