Hey, y'all! My name is Isabella, and I’m a college student learning how to navigate adulthood right alongside you!! Today, I will tell you about the best Amazon finds to host friendsgiving or thanksgiving.
Hosting in general can be incredibly overwhelming and really make anyone exhausted. These items will help your event to be as efficient as possible and presented beautifully. Of course, you will need cups, plates, utensils, and napkins. However, here are a few more specific items that will help you host the best fall celebration!
1. On theme name card holders!
Be sure to grab some adorable place card name holders like these.
These are a wonderful addition to add a little flair to the fall theme and they are genuinely useful and practical to help thanksgiving or friendsgiving go smoothly.

4. Snack bowls
It is definitely necessary to have at least a few snack bowls around the house to keep your hungry guests at bay while the food continues to be prepared.
I recommend having a few salty options and then one or two sweet options. The easiest snacks that appeal to most people are nuts and seeds, olives, dried fruits, fruit, chips, trail mix, or simple candies like M&Ms. You could also do candy corn or pumpkin candies if you want to be on the fall theme!
These bowls are absolutely adorable and perfect for small finger foods like nuts and seeds. https://amzn.to/4eHgAOY
Additionally, here is an option for larger snacks such as chips or fruit. https://amzn.to/4gNfAL6

5. Charcuterie board
One of my favorite things to do is the make a charcuterie board any and every time I have even a few people over. It is just so convenient to have so many different options on one tray so that it appeals to as many of your guests as possible.
You can make either a savory board or a dessert board.

6. Drink pitcher
This can so easily be forgotten but is essential. You don't want your guests to feel like they cannot easily access anything to drink. You also don't want your guests to feel like they have to walk up to the sink and get tap water.
To be on the fall theme consider filling a pitcher with apple cider, tea, or a fun fall mocktail.
Here is the link to an affordable and classic one that is perfect for any holiday or celebration.
I hope these tips and links helped you become more prepared for hosting any of your fall gatherings and celebrations! And don't forget, if you are invited to someone else's house, bring them a hostess gift! Have fun with your celebrations!
With Love,
Isabella XO
