So much preparation goes into the food at Thanksgiving, and the table should receive equal attention. Place cards, even if just for your close family, add formality to the meal and make it feel like a super special dinner. This year I've decided to design a table setting around the place card holders.

The other day I talked about my love for a lizard-shaped bottle opener, and today, as I was browsing the Yum Market on TeamSugar, I noticed a wide variety of animal extras. Animal accents add a touch of whimsy to a stark kitchen and a hint of humor to a formal table setting. Look for small pieces in the form of salt and pepper shakers, coasters, napkin rings, or place card holders.

Chic designer Jonathan Adler, who produced one of my favorite pet bed designs, is showing off his love for animals in a new way — with pottery and home accessories! His line of place card holders, pottery, salt and pepper shakers and lamps made in the likeness of whales, penguins, giraffes and hippos is right up my alley — it's all wild, baby! These goodies are available for purchase on his website ($18-$700) now, but if we're really lucky, we may see a few of the items on the shelves at Target.
