The trend of having a Friendsgiving has grown over the years, as friend groups worldwide participate in the alternative holiday festivities. For anyone hosting this year, there are many things to cross out on your checklist including the decor.
When planning for a major feast of course the food is already solidified, but we often don’t think of the little trinkets and home items to have to spice up your place. It’s much more fun figuring out what items you need to purchase in order to make your home stand out.
No need to worry, we’ve got you covered on the top items to snag for your Friendsgiving decor.
Friendsgiving Banner $10
Since this is your first major holiday hosting, why not go all out? A Friendsgiving banner sets the tone for the night and serves as a significant photo spot.
