- Everyone loves leftovers. Give your guests take-out containers filled with Thanksgiving leftovers. Tie them up with raffia ribbon and attach a sweet treat, like DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate Autumn Miniatures or TWIX® Brand MINIS MIXTM Autumn Miniatures, to the top.
- Make Thanksgiving memory books for your guests! Design a menu and a guest list and put them into small photo albums. Take instant pictures during the party and put a couple into each album. Finish with a colorful autumn leaf on the last page. Hand them out as your guests leave.
- For the children at your Thanksgiving Day celebration, take some time to read them a Thanksgiving story. You can find plenty of good books at your local library. It's a good way to teach them the history behind Thanksgiving.
- Arrange a nature scavenger hunt for the kids to do before Thanksgiving dinner. List items that you can use for table decorations. Have them search for colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones and more. Be sure to give a specific amount for each item or you may end up with a big pile of leaves!
- Thanksgiving is a good time to think about those who are less fortunate. Encourage your guests to bring canned soup or clothing and deliver it to the local food bank or shelter.
