How cute are these acorn salt and pepper shakers? They might be the cutest holiday-related item I've seen all year.
These handblown Turkish glass carafes are an elegant way to keep drink extras right on the table. While the photo shows them serving wine, I think anything from water to cider would be great in them.
Halloween might be over, but it's never too late for some pumpkin decor. I love these straw pumpkins for their rustic and natural feel.

If you're not one for too much decor, keep everything simple and maybe add just one seasonal element, like these autumn napkin rings.

These natural rope placemats would add a great amount of texture to any table, especially one with a neutral palette.
Be sure to add your favorite fall soup to the menu this year because these rustic pumpkin soup bowls belong on everyone's tables this season. I love that they're dishwasher safe too!
Cheese, crackers and fruit are always the go-to appetizers in my house, mainly because they're so easy to serve. This solid maple wood cheese board would be the perfect way to let guests nosh while they anxiously await for dinner.
Stemless glassware can save everything from your tablecloth to your rug from a disastrous spill — especially when little ones are around. I like this gold-rimmed set from West Elm because it's fancy enough for the holidays, but it can also be used for any special occasion during the year.
I think this jacquard turkey kitchen towel would look nice folded up in the bread and rolls basket.
