, by My Uni Gift, 4 min reading time
When it comes to Thanksgiving, there are those who embrace the opportunity to host the holiday year after year, from setting the perfect Thanksgiving table to decorating with cozy fall accents to whipping up a roast turkey.
Then there are the rest of us: The folks who couldn't be more grateful for the hosts and hostesses who make Thanksgiving such a magical experience. So this year, show them just how much you appreciate their hard work with a unique and thoughtful Thanksgiving gift. Of course, you can always show your gratitude by bringing a side dish, a homemade dessert or a bottle of wine — but going the extra mile to find a hostess gift that celebrates their interests (or that helps keep the kids occupied and out of the kitchen!) really drives home the message.
Here, our gift experts have rounded up some of the best Thanksgiving gifts to give this year, from bountiful gift baskets filled with seasonal treats to soft slippers they'll be dying to slide their feet into after a long day of hosting.
