50+ Great Thanksgiving Gifts for Your Favorite People

Sometimes it feels like Thanksgiving doesn’t get the love it deserves, being all (turkey) sandwiched in-between the oh-so popular Halloween and Christmas.

But Thanksgiving is a wonderful day in which we celebrate our loved ones — whether that’s family, friends, or even strangers — and all that we are grateful for.

Waxing sentimental over a huge feast is a language we can all understand, isn’t it? So, when you’re invited to a Thanksgiving meal, don’t arrive empty-handed. Show your host and hostess just how truly grateful you are for their invitation by bringing a lovely gift. 

Do people give gifts on Thanksgiving?

Not normally, but since when are you normal? Only kidding. Thanksgiving is not typically a gift-giving holiday, but bringing a host or hostess gift is always appropriate. 

What do you bring to someone’s house for Thanksgiving?

Ask first! “What can I bring?” is a great way to get some helpful ideas. If they brush it off with a “Just yourselves!” feel free to ignore them. They’re only being polite! 

Whether it’s a bouquet of lucious flowers, a hand-baked pie, or a Thanksgiving themed present, they’ll be grateful to unwrap it in between slicing the turkey and topping the desserts with whipped cream.

For more info, here’s our guide on how to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Ok, let’s get down to the Thanksgiving gift ideas!

1. Giving Thanks Engraved Bird Feeder

A gift like this one that is American made, sturdy, good-looking, and will last for years to come is a fun way to commemorate this year’s Thanksgiving celebration. Bird lovers will adore this generously sized feeder almost as much as the birds themselves! 

Have it engraved with this year’s date and their name, or something sweet like “The Third Annual Brown Thanksgiving Celebration 2022.” 

2. Turkey Sucker Holder

My in-laws had one of these turkeys and it always made an appearance at the Thanksgiving table! The kiddos (and the adults with sweet tooths… sweet teeth?) will love reaching for a palate cleanser — AKA a sucker — in between courses. And the high-quality make of this cute sucker holding turkey means it will last for many, many years to come. 

3. Chocolate Cornucopia

I volunteer as tribute! This adorable cornucopia is stuffed full of decadent chocolates, making your guest’s or host’s mouths water. It’s the perfect end to a full Thanksgiving Day — pair these yummy treats with the last of the red wine, or a hot cup of coffee.

This darling Thanksgiving decor pie garland will bring a homemade (shh, don’t tell it’s pre-made) touch to the table. The felt slices of pie are so darling and adorable. This is the perfect choice for a laid-back, rustic, family-oriented Thanksgiving celebration. And the selfies and family photos in front of it will be *chef’s kiss!

5. Solo Stove for Post-Thanksgiving Meal Fire Pit

Sitting around a campfire with loved ones… is there anything better?! Well, maybe if you add in some S’mores or hot buttered rum. These amazing stove fire pits from Solo Stove are just the perfect ending to an already cozy day. 

Keep the cool at bay with one of these plus your ugly Christmas sweater (hey, ‘tis the season!), and you’ll be feeling oh-so festive and content. 

6. Personalized Thanksgiving Wine Labels

Bring the spirit of celebration (a bottle of wine or three) with these funny and cute wine labels. You’ll be their favorite guest ever! They’re easy to peel and stick and make any bottle of vino the star of the show. So clever. And waterproof too, so don’t worry about dribbles or spills.
