Many consumers also start their holiday gift shopping well before Thanksgiving. In 2026, research from Attentive<\/a> found that 46% of consumers planned to start their holiday shopping before November begins. Retailers should start their holiday inventory planning<\/a> early to ensure they’re prepared for these early-bird shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are many reasons why people start their holiday shopping so early.

Harvest motifs are another tried-and-true component of Thanksgiving decor, and they’re worth adding to your inventory every fall season. Shoppers love the friendly, nostalgic look of turkeys, corn, pumpkins, and leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These colors and motifs show up in a variety of decor items, including wreaths, garlands, wall hangings, pillows, lamps, and centerpieces. Consider stocking seasonal items in a variety of sizes and colors that customers can mix and match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a 2024 Pew Research<\/a> study, 52% of US adults planned to have Thanksgiving dinner with six or more other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConsumers hosting these large gatherings often need to buy new tableware and kitchenware<\/a> to ensure they’re prepared. Here are the hosting essentials that consumers will be shopping for this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElevated hosting essentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A beautiful tablescape sets the stage for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner, and your seasonal assortment should include all the items your customers need to create one. Your assortment is the range of products you choose to stock this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This season, hosts will be shopping for tablecloths, placemats, napkins, and napkin rings with warm colors and cozy harvest details. Hosts can also supplement their tablescapes with ceramic centerpieces and candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophisticated dishes, glasses, and cutlery are also on the list for any Thanksgiving host.

If they’re hosting a large gathering, they’ll also opt for serveware sets in large quantities to accommodate all their guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanksgiving meals often end with a dessert and a cozy drink. Cookie cutters, cake molds, and other themed decorating tools help hosts customize their desserts, so they’re a great fit for your Thanksgiving assortment. Collectible mugs with festive themes are also worth stocking for any holiday, and Thanksgiving is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
