When it comes to Thanksgiving, it's safest to stick with what works: Grandma's go-to recipes (passed down from one generation to the next), favorite festive table decor, or even something as simple (but reliable) as assigned seating.  

These traditions are what make the holidays sacred and keep them running like a well-oiled machine. And, this method rings true when shopping for Thanksgiving decorations. They are the backdrop to the holiday, setting the scene and creating a warm and inviting environment. 

A necessity year-after-year, Thanksgiving decorating ideas need to be timeless – essentials like classic Thanksgiving centerpieces, the best candles or faux-leaf wreaths will always get the job done – and will become yearly staples. Here, we showcase the best buys.
