Happy Friday y’all! In the spirit of the upcoming day in which we have an excuse to lie on the couch in our elastic sweatpants Turkey Day, we’ve compiled some of our favorite things we’ve seen lately, all Thanksgiving-themed. Take a gander at these pretty/delicious/adorbs items below!:

1. This gorgeous Ruffoni Copper Sauce Pan. If I were an elegant chef, whipping up some gravy on the big day, this is what I’d imagine my elegant self to be using. OR if you’ve got a couple sweet amigos who’ll be sweating over the stove for their friends (what up, Beth and Al!), this is a great host gift:

2. Scribble your menu on this cutie patooty chalkboard message board:

3. Hang this Give Thanks garland kit over a mantel to welcome your peeps:

4. Show your hostess with the mostestest your appreciation with a bag of pumpkin coffee – YUM:

5. Serve up some warm spiced pecan pumpkin quick bread with butter in the morning just to stretch out your stomach in preparation for the day’s meal ahead:

6. This pumpkin covered casserole dish:

7. If I had kids, I’d create this adorable Fall Leaf Wreath Kit with them. Then I’d put them down for a nap and go watch 3 episodes of the Kardashians:

8. Yes.

9. Got a hipster friend? How about a hipster friend who loves pies? Well guess what?! There are pies, pies, and even more pies in this cookbook from the celebrated Brooklyn shop:

10. These art deco lowball glasses are so fragile and feminine and so pretty that they make me warm inside:

Listen, I hate to go all Carrie Bradshaw girl power on you guys today, but I feel like I have to give a shout-out to my people. And by people, I mean my girlfriends. When I was little, my grandmother always told me that if I got to have even ONE true friend, then I would have way more than my fair share. Somehow, I ended up with a heaping handful of them. They are the most talented, successful people I know – lawyers, doctors, wedding wizards, cake makers, vp’s and execs. But they’re also amazingly kind, infinitely gracious, strong, hilarious, charismatic and so, so wise. And I feel like if I’m any of those things I just mentioned, it’s because of them.

These are the people I look up to the most… they have (literally) spoon-fed me when I could not eat… held my hand and cried on the gym floor with me over broken bones… held my hand and cried on the living room floor with me over broken hearts… dropped everything to fly across the country for my birthday, or to take my calls whilst they’re in a meeting with J. Lo… They are people who are always (ALWAYS, *cough* Karrie) pushing me to do what makes me happy… who tell me when I’m being an ass hole… who help me know when to bow up and when to back down… and who always remind me to hold out for and not accept one OUNCE less than what I deserve… because sometimes, everybody needs to be reminded. Their houses are my house, and their families are my family. I honestly feel bad for everyone who doesn’t know them, and I would be lost without them.
