Stationery Recommendations
Thanksgiving calls for its own style of decor, but don’t worry; I gathered here all you need to start creating your own pretty pages in no time.
The best way to do that is to use stationery, and I gathered plenty of amazing Thanksgiving-themed supplies that will allow you to create stunning Thanksgiving pages in no time.
Of course, you can definitely use anything you already have in your collection, but here are a few special supplies for you:
- Sakura Pigma Micron fineliners are a must-have for creating any Bullet Journal page, and they are stunning and high quality.
- Karin Brushmarker Pro – I used these fantastic brush pens a lot for my thanksgiving pages. They have the most stunning, rich and unique colors.
- Tombow Dual Brush Pens – wonderful brush pens for brush lettering or just adding color to your Bullet Journal. And the good thing is that they come in so many sets and colors!
- Planner Stencils – these stencils will help you create all Bullet Journal pages, helping you with everything from the daily boxes to beautiful fonts.
- Washi Tapes – these are an easy and creative way to add decoration to your Bullet Journal pages. I found quite a few stunning washi tapes: Cosy Autumn Fall washi tape (with gold foil), Turkeys and Pumpkin Pie washi tape and Fall Cryptids Washi Tape.
- Stickers are probably the fastest way to decorate your Bullet Journal pages with something fun and colorful. There are so many different sticker types and designs! Here are a few of my favorites: Thanksgiving Folk Art Vinyl Sticker Sheet, Thanksgiving Kitties Stickers and Thanksgiving Variety Stickers.
When it comes to stationery, I can keep on talking about it for hours. There are so many different styles and designs to help you bring Thanksgiving to your Bullet Journal pages.
But this is not what this post is about, here we’re talking about pages, so let’s look into that!
Fun & Useful Thanksgiving Bullet Journal Ideas
There are no limits to what you can create in your Bullet Journal; the same is true about what kind of-ages you can create for Thanksgiving.
In this blog post, I gathered pages by different creators that are Thanksgiving-themed or help you plan Thanksgiving.
So, let's dive in and look at a few ideas.
Quote Page
I love quote pages; they are a great way to fill out an empty page in your BuJo and are a strong tool to set the mood.
Plus, making a quote spread is yet another opportunity to get creative and enjoy a moment for yourself.
Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, and thankfully, there are plenty of gratitude-themed quotes out there to inspire you.
Let's start with the basic, happy Thanksgiving page. I think it's a nice welcome page for the holiday, and it definitely made me feel more festive having it in my journal.
This is a wonderful quote for every month of the year, but definitely especially for November when we have Thanksgiving.
Beautiful lettering, and I love that gradient effect. This is a fantastic example of how a simple quote can be something extra with just beautiful lettering.
A very simple reminder, but it's created in beautiful lettering and surrounded by adorable seasonal doodles, making it so special!
For me, a great quote spread is about mixing good fonts and beautiful colors. I used gold colors for this quote page to add a special spark to this important message,
Gratitude Log
It’s Thanksgiving, so isn’t it the perfect time of the year to give a gratitude log a chance, even if you’ve never used one before!
So here are a few inspirations for a seasonal gratitude log.
You can have a daily gratitude log, but you can also just create a spread at once and remember all the beautiful things in your life.
I really like that on this spread, they also played around with different fonts, making it look more interesting.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, how adorable is this little turkey on this gratitude log for November. I love how happy this little turkey doodle is!
Weekly Spreads
Whatever your monthly theme for November is, you can always make an exception for Thanksgiving week and create a weekly dedicated to the holiday.
Just take a look at the weekly spreads below for inspiration.
Gobble Gobble! I love how there are some of the best Thanksgiving things here.
Oh, and I definitely want to give special love to little snoopy cooking up some popcorn.
Really cute spread, and I love how many details and decorations fit here. The quote is super cute, and it definitely created a special holiday mood for the week.
Here is. It's a beautiful week, and the turkey in the corner clearly makes it very Thanksgiving-themed. I love the stunning lettering the creator used to decorate this layout.
Thanksgiving Planning Pages
If you’re the one hosting the big dinner this year, you better be prepared. Make a whole plan of all the things you should do and assign a time slot for them.
Here are just a few different formats and pages to help you plan the best and most festive family time.
This creator definitely approached the holiday with a lot of preparation. As you can see, this checklist starts a month before the holiday, so you'll always have everything ready and will never have a last-minute emergency.
Here is a fantastic layout to help you plan that perfect dinner, I love all the areas the creator added to the layout, like the schedule and seating chart.
This is one more pretty detailed list to ensure that all the bases are covered for the big Thanksgiving dinner. I also feel like it’s such a great idea to have a notes section for what can be done better next year!
A guest list is a pretty important part of planning your dinner. I think a good addition to this layout would also be to add some details about the guests, like their allergies and food preferences.
I love that these pages have everything you need, from the menu to the schedule to when you should be getting all the supplies for dinner. I also like these really cute illustrations.
Thanksgiving is all about food, so having a detailed menu and a plan on buying all the things you need for a perfect dinner is a must-have!
Here is one more op[tion on planning your Thanksgiving dinner, with an easier and more minimalistic approach while still keeping it very fun, creative, and doodly.
This is a super cute Thanksgiving spread, and I really like that the creator added a section for decorations since that's the part that really sets the mood and vibe of the dinner.
Recipe Pages
I bet you have a few recipes you love the most, or maybe you just found several new ones you’d like to try out this Thanksgiving, courtesy of Mom or Granny.
Recipe pages always make for a great keepsake and a great addition for your Thanksgiving pages.
The organs and the ingredients really make it a very Thanksgiving type of food, and I'm definitely excited to give it a try! Brush lettering was a great addition to this layout as well.
Thanksgiving is a huge feast, and these pages allow you to plan the entire meal and add the recipes so you're on top of cooking and shopping for the big day.
First of all, I'm so excited about this recipe; it sounds so delicious! But also, how lovely is this cute little turkey in the corner, cooking its spicy little dip?
