Oven mitts
If you’re preparing a Thanksgiving feast this year (or are obsessed with this set like we are), snag this stunning oven mitt and pot holder covered in blue rose-filled vases in a toile-like pattern. The set is available at Apple and Oak for $26.
Holiday dishes
You can always count on Juliska to design the holiday dishware of your dreams, and the stunning winter scenes found in the B&T North Pole Dinnerware Collection are almost too beautiful to use.

The three-wick option is available for $88.
BATH & BEAUTY
Moisturizing trio
Living in the South carries with it plenty of benefits when it comes to mild weather and stunning seasons, but after a hot and humid summer, you may be ready to up your moisturizing routine as the air gets dry and chilly. Winky Lux offers a moisturizing trio for hydrating, reducing fine lines, and brightening complexion. Grab the set for $64.
LIFESTYLE
Notebook
The holiday season calls for lists galore in order to keep up with a multitude of schedules, purchases, and events. While you’re shopping for the perfect gift at Gift Horse, grab a simple yet sleek Leuchtturm notebook to stay on top of your organization. This version comes with a hardcover and ruled pages in tons of fun colors for $22.99.
KIDS
Good Night Nashville
The 12South neighborhood is a one-stop shop for all kinds of shopping and dining, and if you find yourself strolling the charming street this season, duck into Serendipity 12th to grab this sweet children’s book. At $9.95, it’s a perfect stocking stuffer or add-on for a Nashville-based little one.
