Thanksgiving hosting gifts they'll actually want to use after the plates are cleared

Thanksgiving may look and feel different every year, but showing thanks to the host or hostess never goes out of style.

Whether you're planning for a huge gathering, preparing to see loved ones you haven't seen in a while, hosting a small group or arranging a virtual call to connect, thoughtful gifts are a great personal way to say thank you.

From small items that could be sent before turkey day to help them set their table or spruce up the holiday decor, to functional and stylish items that are great as a group gift, here are some ideas to shop for the host with the most that will stay with them long after the leftovers have disappeared.
