With Thanksgiving—and the whole holiday season—suddenly upon us, it's time to think about stocking up on party essentials. In the long run, if you entertain frequently, it's much more economical to buy than rent. We've sourced tabletop items that are versatile, durable, and readily available (in case you need overnight shipping).
Glassware

Above: For large parties, Ikea's Svalka Champagne Glasses are good to have on hand in multiples; $0.79 each. N.B.: They are not the most durable, but for the price, they can't be beat.
