Pry your husband away from the deviled eggs and send him outside to find a bare branch to transform into your families Tree of Thanks. Have your friends and family jot down what they are most thankful for and use ribbon, string, or even fishing line to hang the ornaments on the tree.

You may have stuffed all your books away in a dark corner after the Kindle was invented, but now they have purpose once again!

Blankets

Last but not least, prepare for post-turkey naps with a cozy blanket from Bates Mill Store. Leave them folded on the end of the couch so that your guests have easy access as they drift into dreamland. http://www.batesmillstore.com/collections/blankets.
