The turkey is not the only focal point on Thanksgiving. After the bird has been carved, sliced and picked over, something needs to stand in its place. Consider these Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas to create your own masterpiece.

Gracious Thanksgiving Day dinner guests love the bountiful fresh fruit bouquet, dubbed the “Festival of Thanks” at Edible Arrangements, this fruit bouquet doubles as a Thanksgiving centerpiece and as a contribution to the holiday dinner party. The $111 fruit bouquet consists of fresh cantaloupe, melon and dipped fruit arranged in an ornate Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Also, at Edible Arrangements, the fresh fruit basket, referred to as Thanksgiving #1 Centerpiece is on sale for $97. Unlike the  “Festival of Thanks” edible fruit bouquet, shown in a rectangular container, this one is standard oval container with fewer pieces of fruit.

Thanksgiving Day Centerpiece Idea: Illuminate the Thanksgiving centerpiece with candles. Be sure to leave enough space to avoid any conflagrant situation.
