ThanksgivingGold Taper Candlestick Holders — Set of 6
"The fastest way I know to make a Tuesday feel like an occasion: six slender brass candlesticks in staggered heights, marching down the center of the table like a little golden parade. Tapers not included — which is half the fun, because you get to choose the color. I vote deep green or burgundy for the big meal."

$14.99Terracotta Velvet Table Runner
"The table's winter coat. A wash of burnt-orange velvet that pools and folds down the center of the table and makes everything set on it — the white plates, the gold candlesticks, the good glasses — look deliberate. The color of the last leaves still holding on, and soft enough that guests will touch it when they think no one is looking."

$32.99Pinecone Flameless Candles — Set of 2
"Two little pinecones that glow from within, brushed with gold at every tip.

The flicker is convincing enough that guests will lean in to check — let them."
