Happy almost Thanksgiving! This season might be my favorite — the anticipation of the holidays is so strong and exciting.

This past week was all about gift guides. In case you missed them, I rounded up a bunch of favorites across categories:

  • For Her
  • For Him
  • For Toddlers
  • Under $25
  • Cookbooks
  • Beauty Gifts

I also added a SHOP tab to the menu where I’ve collected many of my favorite things. It’s been so fun updating it and sharing picks.

This week I made a few videos: a lighter sweet potato casserole, garlic knots, and chicken and dumplings. I’m working to add videos to all of my posts and upload them to YouTube — if you enjoy them, please consider subscribing to the channel so you’re notified when new videos go live.

For Thanksgiving leftovers, I created three recipes on the Harry & David blog to make the day-after-meals special, plus a comforting slow-cooker chicken chili that’s perfect for chilly days.

What are you up to this weekend? Wishing you a lovely one.
