A Thanksgiving Gift

I'm planning on buying one of each flight — to tackle both my Friendsgiving and family Thanksgiving plans — in the hopes that it'll make an everyday cheese plate or cup of tea feel like a holiday treat. For a Scotch drinker, I would bring a nice Auchentoshan pictured.

Of course, if the host is a sweets lover, you can't go wrong with some handmade chocolates or truffles in interesting, seasonal flavors. They're key to protecting your outfit during any last-minute final touches to the meal, and preparing the feast will definitely do damage to their current apron. For the first-timer who doesn't normally cook much, you can't go wrong with a gift certificate for a massage.

The price is reasonable, and I love that the ration allows you to try new flavors. And since my eye is always on the pie and cake and cookies , I love to gift a whimsical take on that classic set of kitchen tools essential to every baker: It's especially fun to find a set whose design is perfectly suited to my host's aesthetic, such as the year I scored measuring cups shaped like the traditional Russian nesting dolls for my matryoshka-obsessed hostess. When not putting them to use in the kitchen, she keeps them displayed on the countertop.

With a rich red hue so deep it's almost black, and a nutty amaretto finish, these luxurious Italian cherries are a far cry from the sticky and acrid taste of the waxy, neon-bright American version that you'll find at the bottom of a Shirley Temple. Just make sure you check beforehand what is needed. Chances are, your hosts will have been planning their Thanksgiving celebrations for some time. How much should I spend on a Thanksgiving gift?
