I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving this year for so many reasons. Not only because it’s a great time to reflect and focus on all of the wonderful things we have to be thankful for in our lives, and not just because of the amazing food, but because it will be a rare chance to spend time with my family who live far away. My entire family and many of my friends live in Indiana, so we don’t get to see them often. My husband and I alternate which side of the family (mine or his) we spend the holiday with each year, and this year we will be spending it with mine. I get to snuggle with my sweet nephew and meet my new baby niece for the first time. I get to see my siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom I grew up living near in the same town but now only see a couple times a year.
Since it is such a special occasion, it’s fun to think about it from an entertaining perspective. I will be helping my mom host our entire extended family, and one of my favorite places for inspiration and decor is Target. Normally everyone pitches in and brings a dish, so I’ll be looking forward to my grandma’s banana pudding (hint, hint). She’s probably not reading this, but maybe someone will pass that hint along. 😉 I haven’t decided yet what I will be making, but I definitely know where to go if I want to serve it in style. Check out these beautiful, stylish platters from Target. I love the geometric pattern along the edge.
I’m thinking the Thanksgiving turkey would look great displayed on that large white platter pictured above. And I love the vibrant teal and green colors too.
Now, as much as I love my family, I think we can all agree that we will need some wine. This ombre glassware would be a fun addition to the party. These would be pretty for any holiday party. They’re very modern and glitzy.
Target also has beautiful textiles for the holidays, like these pretty metallic napkins. Who doesn’t like a little bling?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. One tradition that my family has is a food item. My dad makes a cranberry relish and it is wonderful. I look forward to it every year. I usually have my family at my house and we set around and eat have conversation. It seems like it is the only time that we get to do sit down as a family as a whole family. I suppose that is what I like best. I do enjoy the food too. We usually use paper products, but I find that the dishes you post are lovely. I love the glasses and the white platter. I think that I will be making a trip to Target. Thank you for sharing this on your blog.
I love Thanksgiving too! I love the colors and it’s a great excuse to eat lots of stuffing. Between Threshold and The Green Room at Target, I will be a loyal customer for quite some time!
I subcribe to a dozen blogs and enjoy them all. Of what I have read today, only one has mentioned it is Veterans Day. Feedom insn’t free, these people have sacrificed so we that we can enjoy this wonderful holiday season.
I agree, Mona. I certainly appreciate our veterans, as I have many family members who have served. Although I did not mention it on the blog today, it certainly has not gone unrecognized for me. Thank you for sharing your feelings on it too. I am very thankful to everyone who has fought and/or are fighting for our freedom.
I love those platters! So pretty
I saw those wine glasses and salt and pepper shakers the other day and almost fell over in the store! Love them!
I have a deep dark secret…. My family uses paper plates at Thanksgiving. *GASP* We get together almost every Sunday for dinner, so Thanksgiving is kind of like a regular “Sunday” dinner but with more food and we play some gratitude games. And, we are not big into football. Have I shocked you enough yet? 🙂
Haha! We actually use paper plates most of the time too, except for the serving dishes and glassware. I totally understand!
I call Target the $100 store because even if I’m going in for one bar of soap I come out with $100 worth of “stuff.” It’s my go – to. Adding groceries in ours was the clincher for me- why go anywhere else?
For Thanksgiving we rotate too. This year we’ll be with my side. I can’t wait to eat good food and just be together.
Hmm, we don’t really have any Thanksgiving traditions, but way back in the day, I used to spend part of Thanksgiving with a friend’s family and they would watch Star Wars and play Taboo every year 🙂 Love those Ombre glasses!
I absolutely LOVE Target’s selection of home decor now! For us, Thanksgiving is small and quiet, but after umpteen years, it’s a welcome change.
Wow! So pretty and elegant.
Those dishes are to die for! I love Target!
Totally agree! Love the dishes. And I love Target too!
I love all this!! I may have to go out tonight and check it out!
I know! I’ve been checking out all of this stuff during my almost daily trips to Target. It’s sort of my home away from home. 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
LOOOOVVVVEEEE the color in those dishes! Beautiful pieces! XO< Erica
I love Target! It is my favorite store, and they have the most beautiful stuff. Ever since my kids were born we have hosted Thanksgiving at our house. It is nice for everyone to come to us. And it is much easier to entertain the kids in our own home. I love hosting! My husband cooks the turkey on the Weber grill, so I always have my oven free. It is great!
Isaw this in the store the other day but somehow missed a bunchof the things you showed – I need to go take a second look! Thanks for sharing!
These pieces are beautiful! Every time I go into Target I have to use restraint to not buy all their awesome decorative pieces. Those platters are calling my name.
I love Target but rarely get to go there because it is on the other side of town. Seeing your photographs makes me want to make a special trip this week to see their holiday things.
I’m loving those metallic napkins – and they would work well into the new year, too!
