It’s days away and if you are like us, maybe, just maybe, you don’t have your act totally together for your Thanksgiving table decorations or you want to bring a DIY gift to your host or hostess.   We compiled a bunch of  last minute, adorable table decor and place setting inspirations. They’re all really easy from a simple flower arrangement (cabbages and dahlias look lovely) to gift to your guests, some cool place cards with great sayings, and our favorite idea, using anything themed, “Be Thankful”. It adds just enough cheer without overwhelming your table.

Other fun ideas include metallic sprayed pumpkins with hand-stamped place cards, a conversation starter envelope with a colored felt-tipped pen so each guest or family member jots down their “thankful for” list, or fall leaves used as place cards. Any of these choices is also a great family project with kids or grand kids. Another favorite are the $25 forks from Milk and Honey engraved with, what else. “thankful.” Oh, one last thing, if you need  “Ready. Set. Plan.” advice for the big day or a Turkey “tool kit”, Crate and Barrel has lots of online help.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. With Love From LA,
