Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. While you’re busy planning your menu for Thanksgiving Day, don’t forget that the presentation is key! You can easily create a gorgeous seasonal tablescape of your dreams with these farmhouse decor items that are Joanna Gaines-worthy. And the best part? There are tons of things you can order straight from Amazon.
This decorating style has really taken off in the past ten years or so, and it’s definitely not going anywhere soon. The modern combination of soft tones, natural materials, and rustic metals is such a cozy and comfortable mix that we just can’t get enough of. It also tends to include neutral hues, so it’s ideal for fall and Thanksgiving! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite farmhouse decor pieces that will be on your table in just two days (if not sooner!). Keep reading to see them all.
Jute/Burlap Table Runner
Decorating for the holidays is all about the details, especially when it comes to table settings. Easily dress up your table with a simple burlap table runner in a non-traditional color. This particular piece come-on over 13 colors and is so neutral, you can continue to use throughout the year!
What better centerpiece can you have besides rustic pumpkins with the message "give thanks?" These handmade gourds are made from polymer clay and are just the right size to make a statement without overwhelming the table. Plus, they leave plenty of room for the food!
Farmhouse decor is all about texture and the elements, and that's why these unique galvanized napkin rings are perfect for the big day. They tie in the perfect amount of rustic feel, while still being perfectly appropriate for Thanksgiving. We plan on keeping them out year-round.
Thanksgiving is all about the food so you can't forget the napkins! Go with a generous and oversized version like these linen napkins for your meal. The blue-gray color is an homage to traditional farmhouse design but natural enough to easily pair with harvest colors like orange and red.
Creating a tablescape is all about adding texture and dimension. These braided rattan placemats pull double duty––acting as a placemat or charger, and giving depth to your design. Also, the natural rattan elements give your table a rustic feel.
Farmhouse decor doesn't typically lend itself to the traditional reds, yellows and oranges of Thanksgiving, but you can still get the holiday vibe by bringing neutral greenery into your design with a eucalyptus garland. The silver dollar design is moldable to your tablescape and brings just the right amount of living garland to your table.
You can incorporate elements into your tablescape that are both beautiful and functional, like a wooden tiered tray. Whether you use to display finger foods, desserts or pile with decorative pumpkins, this gorgeous serving ware not only gets the job done but looks great while doing it.
No detail is left untouched at your Thanksgiving table! Use natural elements, like these wood-styled place card holders, to add something extra. They are an easy and affordable way to further your farmhouse decor theme. This set also includes coordinating cards that fit right in.
Cake stands hold more than just cakes—they take on pie, cupcakes and can even just serve as a decorative item. This rustic metal cake stand comes with tons of detail, from the metal and wood vintage look to the scalloped design.

French fries are delicious. They are also world record holders
You’ve consumed a fry or two in your day, but we’re betting you’ve never had one as long or eaten them as fast as some of the world record holders. Read on to learn a few fun facts about french fries, perfect for dipping in and out. When you’re done, check out our list of fun facts for kids.
1. The most considerable helping of fries was served at Twin Oaks Farms in Eagle, Idaho on Sep. 20, 2014. It weighed 1003 lbs. It used 1256 lbs. of raw potatoes and 110 gallons of oil to fry them up.
2. In many parts of the world, French fries are known as American fries.
3. The world’s longest French fry is 34 inches, discovered at Taffy’s Hot Dog Stand in Buffalo, NY by diner John Benbenek in July of 2010.
4. Thomas Jefferson is said to have requested that the White House chef, a French man, prepare for him “potatoes served in the French manner” for a dinner party. These are believed to be some of the first French fries in the United States. The year? 1802.
5. Here’s a fun fact about French fries—the Belgians eat more fries per capita than any other European country.
