Preparing for Thanksgiving
1. Thanksgiving Pre-Dinner Hosting
The Holidays are upon us…enjoy every minute!! Planning events, Thanksgiving Holiday Tables and selecting special gifts for those we love and admire! Consider a great Entertaining organizer from Graphic Image’s leather, giftable collections….the ultimate, for yourself or another!
Graphic Image Entertaining Notebook - Bergdorf Goodman
Thanksgiving is simply 3 weeks away! Are you hosting? Drinks and appetizers pre-dinner? Are you ready? Is your dinner table planning complete? Maybe this year you are the guest! Are your hostess gifts ready? Am happy to help with all!!
Pre-Dinner Entertaining: Icebuckets, Glassware, Trays, Napkins-linens, munchies…casual or elegant! All give ideas for holiday gifting as well.
2. Thanksgiving Dinner Settings
Dinner Settings: Linens, Dinnerware, Glassware, Flatware, Centerpiece, Vase and Candles – quality, color are commonalities…yes, giftable too! They all elevate take-out too!

Enjoy shopping in your own collections first, using family traditions or heirlooms bring charming, intimate touches to any setting. Reminiscing kicks off the holiday conversation for sure! It is a way to keep our loved ones with us, long after they are gone. Heritage, travels and even special recipes give continuity, love and even smiles to our lives! Creating new traditions that will continue can be great fun!!

3. Capturing Holiday Memories
While we make this year’s fabulous memories during these last few weeks and months, let’s consider capturing them and record them for generations to come in a chic, leather Family History Book, Photo Album or Entertaining Book, personalized for decades to come!
Gifting monogrammed or personalized items in creative colors pleases sooo many on our holiday list: host, hostess, new couples, friends, moi included!! Enjoy special initials too!
We can also plan our brilliant New Year 2023 to come with diaries and journals that will undoubtedly bring new adventures and memories! Numerous colors and types of personalization are perfect! These thoughtful selections will take a bit of time…so don’t hesitate-November is here!
Happy planning till next week!
