So you’ve been invited for a Thanksgiving meal and although it is flattering to be included, the next thought that crosses your mind is: What shall I gift the host or hostess? As this significant day of gratitude and appreciation is only a week away, we’ve decided to narrow down your search, so that you don’t have to fret over what to buy. A bottle of wine is a must, and homewares make the most pragmatic presents because they are functional and will never go out of style. From napkin rings to wine glasses, here are 5 gifts worth considering this Thanksgiving.
