Thanksgiving is right around the corner, y’all. I can practically smell the mashed potatoes and that beautiful baking bird. Unfortunately, I’m not even sort of ready for Thanksgiving this year. After moving into a new place, my husband and I are woefully underprepared. I can’t find my ricer, I don’t know what I did with the turkey thermometer, and I definitely can’t find my serving ware. That means I’ve spent way too much time on Amazon trying to find everything I could possibly need for putting on our traditional Thanksgiving feast.
And because I know I’m not the only person mid-move or the only person underprepared, I’m sharing all that I’ve found (and buying) with y’all. Take a scroll through my carefully curated list of all the Thanksgiving essentials I’m grabbing – from must-have tools to tasteful decor.
