The new Thanksgiving starts before anyone sits down at the table. This fall, the mood is warm, tactile and collected: deep brown and burgundy, soft textiles, natural greenery and unexpected objects that make home feel a little richer and more inviting. Instead of decorating for one weekend, choose pieces that carry the feeling of fall from September through November.

The best tables look collected over time rather than purchased as one perfectly matched set. Mix dark wood, tactile linens, interesting glassware and generous serving pieces with what you already own. A few new finds can change the entire mood—and this is where a treasure hunt through HomeSense at Hillcrest Mall comes into its own.

With an ever-changing assortment of servingware, cookware, table linens, glassware and seasonal accents, it’s the place to discover that one unexpected piece that pulls everything together. Visit HomeSense/Marshalls at Hillcrest Mall to discover the latest finds in store.

A modern Thanksgiving host gift is thoughtful, useful and just indulgent enough to feel special. Flowers will always be welcome, but fragrance, a beautiful book and little luxuries make equally thoughtful ways to thank the person bringing everyone together.

Thanksgiving abundance doesn’t stop with the turkey—the dessert table deserves its own moment. Pile pastries onto generous platters, let a beautiful cake take centre stage and don’t worry about making everything yourself. Bringing dessert is one of the easiest ways to contribute to Thanksgiving dinner—and perhaps the most popular.

Hillcrest gives you plenty of choice, with Danish Pastry House, Saint Germain Bakery and Marry Me Mochi making it easy to arrive with something worth saving room for.

The new Thanksgiving doesn’t end when the plates are cleared. Coffee, conversation and something everyone can join give guests a reason to stay a little longer.

Clear a little space on the table, make another pot of coffee and bring out something everyone can join. Games, puzzles and conversation starters can turn those quieter hours after dinner into some of the best moments of the weekend.

Family gatherings have a funny way of doubling as birthday celebrations. If someone around the Thanksgiving table has an October birthday, there’s no need to guess what is on their wish list.

A Hillcrest Mall Gift Card lets them choose something they genuinely want—from beauty and books to something for the home, a favourite meal or an unexpected find.

One Gift Card. Every Brand They Love.

The perfect gift that lets them choose.

Tailoring feels noticeably more relaxed this fall, with softer structure and modern proportions giving workwear a less corporate edge. Think easy blazers, wide-leg trousers and polished separates that can move comfortably from weekday meetings to dinner or weekend plans.

Texture is one of the easiest ways to make a fall wardrobe feel new. Suede, leather and substantial knits add warmth and depth to simple outfits, while lightweight jackets and updated outerwear make ideal layers as the weather turns cooler.

Fall colour goes well beyond the usual black, grey and beige. Burgundy remains a key seasonal shade, joined by electric blue, vibrant red, purple, turquoise and softer pops of yellow and peach—easy ways to bring fresh energy to familiar wardrobe staples.

This season’s knitwear is designed to do more than simply keep you warm. V-necks, polo collars, stripes and draped silhouettes give sweaters more personality, creating versatile layers that can work for the office, casual weekends and everything in between.

Shoes and bags are often the quickest way to make an existing wardrobe feel current again. This fall, refined shapes, tactile finishes and rich seasonal colour give everyday accessories more impact while remaining versatile enough for repeat wear.

The best fall wardrobe comes together through versatile pieces that can be layered, restyled and worn throughout the season. Start with what your closet needs most, then add colour, texture and accessories to make the look your own.
