The Best Thanksgiving Gift Ideas For The Special People In Your Life

Homesick Pumpkin Picking Scented Candle

Thanksgiving time always has a smell of pumpkin in the air, so this scented candle that recreates those smells of the holiday is the perfect Thanksgiving gift to make someone's home feel even more festive for Thanksgiving.

A nice bottle of wine is the go-to gift to take along to a Thanksgiving dinner.

As it's perfect to share around with the dinner, and also makes sure the hostess doesn't run out of wine as the night goes on.

So pick up a nice bottle of white or red and your work is done!

The second most popular gift to bring for the hostess when invited to a Thanksgiving dinner is a bunch of flowers.

And like the wine, you can't really go wrong with this.

So find out what your hostesses favourite flowers are and pick up a bunch on the way round there. 

A box of chocolates is our next Thanksgiving hostess gift idea.

As these can be brought out after the meal and passed around the table for everyone to enjoy.

Or if your hostess is a chocoholic, they can keep these for themselves to enjoy after everyone has left.

After all, they deserve it for all their hard work!

You can never have too much dessert right?

This is especially the case over Thanksgiving, so a lovely gift to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner is a homemade pumpkin pie.

And even if you're not a whizz at baking, there are plenty of YouTube tutorials, such as the one above, that walk you through how to do it.

So give it a bash and see what happens, as this will be a gift that your hostess will really appreciate.

Now this final Thanksgiving hostess gift idea is for people that come from outside the United States.

But it can also work well for people that come from out of state too.

And that is to bring a side dish that is famous in your home country/state.

This will go down really well, as everyone will get to try something new and unusual (and hopefully delicious!) alongside the regular Thanksgiving fare.

Which is a winner for any Thanksgiving dinner party.

There are not many treats that are more comforting and warming than a mug of hot chocolate.

So gifting your neighbors some good quality hot chocolate such as the ones above by Godiva is a really nice idea.

And fits in well with the feeling and spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Some Thanksgiving treats like cookies, cupcakes, or candy are always a good idea for a little gift.

And for your neighbors, how about these chocolate covered Oreo cookies by Philadelphia Cookies?

As these have been decorated for the season with Thanksgiving Tom turkeys on the top, so they both look and taste great.

Baking your neighbors a pie for Thanksgiving is a wonderful thing to do.

And you won't go far wrong with a pecan pie, as many people will already have made or bought a pumpkin pie for themselves.

So get your baking hat out and make your neighbors happy this Thanksgiving.

And if you're not an expert baker, you can follow a YouTube tutorial such as the one above to show you what to do.

I bet there are a few of us who remember playing the Mad Libs word game with our families when younger, right?

So how about getting your neighbor a Thanksgiving themed Mad Libs book to play with their family this year?

As this is a nice little gift to give and is something they will enjoy using.

If your neighbors have a young family, then the ideal Thanksgiving gift for them is to get something for their kids to enjoy.

And a great idea for this is to get them a Thanksgiving themed activity or coloring book.

As this will keep them occupied, and give their parents a little time to themselves to enjoy the holiday as well.

And if you go for the coloring book, throw in a pack of crayons for them to color in with too.

Candles always make for lovely gifts, and Thanksgiving is no exception.

So treating a coworker to a candle with the scents of the season is a great idea, and the Pumpkin Picking scented candle by Homesick is ideal.

As this one gives off aromas of praline, pecans, and pumpkins, and you can't get much more Thanksgiving than that!

Cooking up a fresh batch of cookies for your work mates will always go down a treat, especially at Thanksgiving.

And there are plenty of molds and cutters to use to shape your cookies into turkeys, leaves, pumpkins, and other Thanksgiving shapes.

However, if you don't want to bake, you could try to make the Oreo turkeys in the video above instead, using ready made chocolates and biscuits.

As these look great!

Bath bombs are another thing that make for good gifts for any occasion.

However, these turkey bath bombs are absolutely perfect for a Thanksgiving gift.

So help a coworker put some fizz into their bath times this Thanksgiving with a set of these bath bombs.

Playing games with your friends and family is a big part of Thanksgiving, so giving a coworker an appropriate game as a gift is a good option.

And an entertaining game to play with the teenagers and adults in a family is the Relative Insanity card game.

As players match each scenario with a funny punch line card, and the funniest one gets the points.

So it's a nice gift that they can use to have some fun with their family at their Thanksgiving get together.

As nice as it is to get together with the family over dinner at Thanksgiving, there's also a hell of sport to watch too.

And it's great to be able to veg out in front of the box with a bellyful of turkey and enjoy a few beers while cheering on your favourite team.

So this funny beer coolie would make an ideal Thanksgiving gift for a sports loving coworker.

As it will help them keep their beer cold and their hands dry, while still staying in keeping with the season. 

No teacher is ever going to turn down free candy, especially at Thanksgiving time.

And the good news is that there are usually a range of fall inspired treats available at this time of the year that make for lovely gifts.

So pick out something nice and surprise them this Thanksgiving.

As this is a gift they can also share with their class or in the staffroom too, so you'll be making more than one person happy!

If you ask any teacher what they need most in their job, the answer will be extra classroom supplies,

So why not make a contribution by getting them a pack of Papermate Flair felt tip pens for Thanksgiving.

As these are used by many teachers for marking and grading their students work, and they are always running low on them.

Alternatively you could get them a gift certificate for ReallyGoodStuff.com, which has all the supplies they could possibly need, and let them choose themselves.

Teaching is an extremely rewarding profession, but it can also be an exhausting one.

As you're dealing with classrooms full of noisy kids every day that seem to run on boundless amounts of energy.

So a teacher needs a little energy boost themselves at times to get through the day, and for most teachers, coffee is their go-to life-saver to keep them going.

So treating them to a gift card to a coffee shop for Thanksgiving is a lovely idea,  as they can then pick up a free coffee or two on their way in to school to help them deal with the demands of the day.

And enjoy a seasonal pumpkin spiced latte on you.

We all have a sweet tooth come Thanksgiving time, and teachers are no different.

So why not treat them to some homemade Thanksgiving cupcakes?

As there are tons of easy to follow baking tutorials on YouTube that show you how to create these, with various styles and decorations, such as the video above.

So you could make some cupcakes and decorate them to look like turkeys, pumpkins, or make ones that look like miniature pumpkin pies.

The options are endless. 

And these will be greatly appreciated, as you've put in the effort to make them something special.

Doing such a high energy job such as teaching all day means a teacher will need to be able to switch off and relax at the end of the day.

So you have a few gift options for them here, such as bath bombs for a nice soak in the tub, or a book for them to read and get lost in.

And another option is to get them a nice bottle of wine.

As they can enjoy a glass or two in the evenings to destress after school, or take it with them to share with their family and friends over Thanksgiving dinner.
