Gravy Boat - $25.00 [ Link ]
I've been lusting after Le Creuset French ovens but can't justify the price. I didn't realize they make gravy boats too! There are seven gorgeous colors to choose from, and at $25, they're a much more reasonable way to enjoy a little Le Creuset.

Festa Appetizer - $16.95 [ Link ]
I have a bit of an obsession with compartmentalized white dishes. My collection is starting to outgrow my cabinet space. I could probably make room for this set, though. I'd fill it with nuts, olives, crackers and other nibbles.

olldbobbi All of these are neat things. My favorite is the mini chalkboard placemat, but not just for the kids! I know many adults that would love these. Why should kids have all the fun?

homefluffyhome Wow, those appetizer dishes are adorable! They would make any nibbles look great.

Here's a sweet and easy idea: print this touching poem about gratitude, written by Rumi, and frame it with some autumn leaves: http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/11/a-poem-for-thanksgiving/ It would make a beautiful gift, or perfect decor for the season.

Or try this rustic DIY centrepiece which can be personalised to give thanks to whatever or whomever you choose - http://homefluffyhome.blog.com/2012/11/09/the-meaning-of-love/
