7 Last-Minute Hosting Essentials From Amazon Guaranteed to Arrive Before Thanksgiving (2024)

Hosting Thanksgiving is a feat that involves so much more than just food. You have to consider centerpieces, floral arrangements, and dinnerware pairings—so odds are something will fall through the cracks. Entertaining your beloved family and friends leaves little time to run to the store for last-minute supplies and tools, especially if your local shops decide to close early or not open at all on Thanksgiving Day.

No matter how well you prepare, getting ready for Thanksgiving is always a scramble, especially if you're hosting. And while the turkey may be brining and the pie crusts chilling, there's always that sinking feeling that you are forgetting something. And luckily, we're here to help. We've never loved next-day shipping on Amazon Prime more. Ahead, we're highlighting the seven Thanksgiving hosting essentials from Amazon that are guaranteed to arrive before Thanksgiving Day. Now you can join your loved ones and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the dog show, or even football, and relax on this holiday meant to bring us together...rather than scouring your local grocery store for cocktail toothpicks or place cards for the table.

If your Thanksgiving setup includes several tables or even different rooms, managing silverware, napkins, and plates can quickly become a juggling act. Simplify your preparation by using this utensil caddy as you begin organizing the tables.

The fall and winter months are germ-central, so rather than have everyone's hands in the charcuterie, make cute toothpicks easily accessible for your appetizers. These gold-tipped ones perfectly complement the seasonal color schemes.

An instant way to level up your Thanksgiving table is by swapping paper napkins for cloth. These linen ones are durable and machine-washable, and they have a delicate lace trim for extra style points.

Rather than always have to play bartender and keep the dinner menu on track, have an easy-to-grab drinks cooler on hand. This way both kids and adults can find what they need without pulling you away from the stove. Plus, this Yeti cooler is sure to keep your drinks cold long after the football games and dessert rounds. Did we mention it's on major sale for Black Friday?

Whether you use this for carving your turkey or displaying your charcuterie, you'll never complain about having an extra wooden cutting board on hand, especially one that looks this good. This one features easy-to-grab side notches and an indent to prevent liquid spills.

If this is your first Thanksgiving as a host, we can guarantee you'll forget something. It's only natural! But make sure you don't forget arguably the most important tool of the day: a carving knife. Everyone should be able to enjoy the fruits of your hard-won labors.

To create an even more intentional Thanksgiving table (and prevent any familiar holiday arguments), try assigning seats this year. Everyone will love not having to worry about where to sit, and you'll appreciate the easy flow of conversation around your (impeccably set) table.
