414: Nine Favorite Things.

Hey everyone!
Currently in Charlotte and feeling so loved! The last two nights were pure magic. Both Nashville and Charlotte really showed up – the kindest stories, the warmest hugs, and so many of our amazing HBH family. These events have been so special, and I’m honestly a little sad they’re over!

Unfortunately, we’ve had to cancel the December events. The stores are just too busy during the holiday rush, and it becomes difficult for their teams to manage sales and customers while hosting such large groups. 

I’m definitely disappointed, but I know it’s the right call so that every experience stays positive and relaxed. Everyone who purchased tickets has been refunded. But don’t worry, I’m already dreaming up new ways to bring us all together in December. More to come soon!

I’m home now, resting up and feeling so grateful. There’s a lot ahead, so I’m recharging and getting excited for all that’s coming. I hope you’re soaking up these short but sweet November days, they’re some of my favorites!

Let’s do a quick recap of this week. The Thanksgiving Menu is now live! I love this year’s theme – the make-ahead recipes, the tablescape, the cozy fall photos. I’m working on a shorter Thanksgiving Day timeline, too, since I know some of you like having a cleaner, more simplified version. It’s been so fun seeing how much you’re all enjoying the menu!

Next up… Christmas! I have a few fun ideas brewing, but I’d love to know, what would help or excite you most this season? Christmas dinner? A holiday party menu? A cozy Christmas morning breakfast? Let me know in the comments. I want to make sure this season feels extra special for you!

And our holidays just got a little sweeter, the new HBH x Snif candle, Merry Mint Mocha, is here! You all know how much I love my holiday candles. They make the season so warm and cozy. I burn them nightly. They bring me so much comfort and remind me of my Nonnie, who I miss more and more each year. This one in particular feels so nostalgic to me — sweet, minty, and chocolatey, just like her kitchen at Christmas.

Plus, our Home Chef Thanksgiving side dish is live! So many of you have already ordered it — how fun is that?! If you love the idea of HBH dishes delivered straight to your door, just wait. If all goes well, we’re planning a full Thanksgiving menu for next year. No one has to know you didn’t cook a thing – your secret is safe with me!

Have you started watching holiday movies yet? Netflix and Amazon already have so many good ones. Mom and I are working on our annual Christmas movie list. It’s become a little tradition we love, so keep an eye out for that soon!

Here are all my favorites from this week — gift guides, holiday finds, and so many cozy links. Enjoy another November Sunday, friends!

1. Things I’m Loving.

shopping/gifting/reading…Oprah’s Favorite Things 2025 List Is Here! What are you loving from the list?  

loving…The best Christmas markets in the UK for 2025 for festive shopping – plus some lesser known gems.

gifting…facials as hostess gifts and stocking stuffers. My personal facialist and good friend Cynthia Rivas is offering 15% off all products on her website now through December as a special HBH family discount. Use the code TIEGHAN15 on all products on her site. Or buy your bestie, mom, or mother-in-law a facial. Such a sweet idea!

everything in my cart (low)…as always, Zara has the best selection. Let’s start with the coats. I love this chic Quilted Trench Coat With Faux Fur Collar, and this Fleece Bomber Jacket is a great everyday, warm coat. I added their 100% Wool Oversized Sweater to my mom’s Christmas list. And this cute Knit Cardigan with Faux Fur Collar to my little sister, Asher’s list.

And last, with so much travel this month and next, we need cozy sets for the plane, recommending the Fleece Wide Leg Pant and Basic Hoodie.

H&M next! This Fluffy Trimmed Jacket. How sweet! A cozy Oversized Alpaca Sweater. And very chic, holiday dinner-worthy, Knit Peplum Top.

listening to…You Can Start That Business. Here’s How with Emma Grede. 

travel…if you are in California, try Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals. Really pretty, cozy rentals. Great for gifting friends this season or spending the weekend.

If you are planning something tropical for the winter, I’m adding Mustique Island onto my family’s radar for 2026. It’s a private island in the area of St Vincent and the Grenadines…dream big, right!

playing on repeat…holiday playlist from Spotify. My favorites are Vintage Christmas and Cozy Christmas Jazz. And I will always love Christmas Hits and Christmas Classics.

everything in my cart (beauty)…holiday nails are on deck! Thanksgiving, I love the chocolate suede shade. It’s warm and so pretty, plus a change from the burgundy. Loving the OPI You Don’t Know Jacques! and Chanel Longwear Nail Colour in shade Faun.

It is the last day of Sephora Sale. Some favorites below.

everything in my cart (high)…A very pretty Mohair Wool Crewneck Sweater from COS. Cozy and beautiful. The color is nice for November.

Reformation has incredible mid-price range pieces (if you need a holiday dress, Reformation is a great place to shop!). I have this Sheer Alpaca Sweater in my cart.

I am thinking about maybe getting these Shearling Over-The-Knee Boots from UGG for my mom. I’ve never seen a style like this from them, but I think my mom might love them. But she would probably like the black. What do you all think? They would sure be nice on snowy mountain days.

5. A Sweet Gifting Idea

I recently put together a care package for a friend who’s been on the road nonstop for work. His wife has been juggling everything at home — two kids, the house, and a few health struggles — so I wanted to make their week a little easier. I sent them a basket of our holiday candles and dinner from their favorite restaurant.

Of course, everyone loves candles, but it was the dinner that meant the most. It gave them a night off — time to sit down, relax, and enjoy a warm, comforting meal with a candle burning nearby. I ordered extra so they’d have leftovers the next day, too!

I just love this idea for the holidays — it works for so many occasions. A thoughtful hostess gift, a surprise for a friend, or a sweet gesture for someone going through a hard time. Whether it’s to celebrate or to comfort, it’s one of those gifts that always feels meaningful and appreciated.

That, to me, is the true magic of the season — finding little ways to care for others and bring a bit of warmth and joy into their days.

6. Let’s Talk Thanksgiving.

Our 2025 Thanksgiving Menu is live! Now I want to start sharing my best Thanksgiving tips — and answer any questions you might have.

But first, I want to hear from you! What are your biggest Thanksgiving questions this year? Cooking, hosting, timing — anything goes. Leave them below, and I’ll do my best to help make your day stress-free and extra special.

My Favorite Hosting Tip:

Make traditions that last

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the moment when the kitchen is finally clean, the fire is burning, and our family Christmas tree is glowing with lights, always with classic Christmas music playing in the background.

Mom pops the biggest bowl of popcorn and sets out a bowl full of cranberries. There’s hot chocolate, slices of pie, and lots of whipped cream. We spend the night decorating the tree, dancing to Christmas music, and threading strands of popcorn and cranberries — simple traditions that feel so special. It’s such a special, cozy night. It’s usually just the girls, my dad, and my little brother, Oslo, while the boys wander off. I love it so much. It’s the sweetest way to end Thanksgiving and welcome the holiday season.

Share your own tips, traditions, and questions below — let’s make this space our Thanksgiving planning table!
