To help you host your most draw droppingly gorgeous Thanksgiving yet, I did one of the things I do best — online shopped — to find cooking equipment and dinnerware that’ll wow your guests and be the kind of pieces you’ll want to use for years to come.
I’ve picked budget-friendly and bad & bougie options so there’s something for everyone.
Hope your Thanksgiving day is filled with emotional connection with loved ones, delicious and nourishing food, and beauty in unexpected places.
