Turkey surprise crackers

These paper turkey “crackers” are a delightful way to liven up the Thanksgiving table — and they’re not reserved for the kids’ table. These little “happies” are beautifully designed with a tissue paper tail and gold foil details. Each turkey contains a paper hat, a joke, and an adorable etched stand-up wooden animal (there’s a badger, reindeer, squirrel, fox, rabbit, and beaver). A set of six is $34 at Pop & Pour.

Cocktail napkins

We found the perfect cocktail napkins for Thanksgiving gatherings, Friendsgiving parties, and even through December! They add a little snark to your holiday decor. A set of four hand-embroidered 100% linen napkins is $65 from Courtland & Co. These would be cute paired with a sippable or edible hostess gift.

FASHION

Perfect light-washed jeans

Reliable light-washed jeans are a fall wardrobe staple. We think we’ve found the perfect combination of wash, cut, and hem in a pair of fall “dad” jeans. They look vintage and worn-in yet polished and sharp. This raw-hemmed cut looks great with boots, booties, flats, heels, or sneakers. Shop these jeans for $118 at Morgan Rae Boutique.

Belt

Who doesn’t love a versatile belt during chilly months of layering and tucked-in shirts? This brown beauty is made of embossed faux crocodile glossy leather. The buckle is adorned with Zadig & Voltaire’s signature golden wings, and there are five adjustable holes, so you can wear it through pant loops or higher to cinch a flowy dress. It’s made in France of 100% cow leather and is shoppable for $169 at Elle Boutique.
