Quotation Napkin Rings 

Rev up table talk with a few quotes about gratitude and thankfulness. Print quotes on cardstock and cut out to fit in small vellum envelopes (available with card-making supplies at crafts stores). Write each guest's name on the blank side of the card and place in the envelope so the name shows through. Wrap a length of decorative paper or ribbon around the envelope and secure with double-sided tape. Ask guests to read their quotes aloud and let the conversing begin.

Free Printable M and M Thanksgiving Poem 
I love this simple idea. Use pint glass jars and fill with M and M candies. Add a printed tag with M and M Thanksgiving poem, punch a hole in it, add twine and tie around the rim of jar. I think it would make a great gift on the table for each Thanksgiving guest and encourage each one to share what they are thankful for.
