Another inexpensive decor piece, these harvest-themed felt decor are cute and make for great accent pieces to your fireplace mantel or in the corners of your kitchen or bathroom.

Bring out the Thanksgiving spirit with these metallic plastic leaf dishes. They’re shaped like leaves and come in three colors: green, red and orange.

Foil Roasting Pans With Plastic Lids
Price: $1.75
Dollar Tree comes through when you’re in a pinch. These foil roasting pans with plastic lids are made for those extra baked dishes, like casseroles. You can also use them for leftovers or to transport dishes to someone else’s place this holiday season.
