10 Fall-Themed Tableware Finds to Buy from Target, According to a Shopping Editor—Starting at $2

There are so many things to love about this time of year: the return of pumpkin spice lattes, soup season, and cozy autumnal decor. However, if you’re like me, you have more than enough winter holiday pieces for your dining space but are short on fall-themed tableware. Now’s the time to stock up on festive table runners, serveware, and more that will carry you from now until the day after Thanksgiving (or whenever you transition your home into a snowy wonderland). 

Target’s popular home brand Threshold has more than 150 seasonal items still in stock that are stylish, functional, and best of all, affordable, with prices starting at just $2. When buying seasonal decor, I look for well-made pieces that will last for years but don’t cost a pretty penny, as they are only on display for a few months at a time — and Threshold never lets me down in terms of getting the most bang for my buck. Think: four-packs of ceramic dining plates for just $12 that are ideal to have on hand when there are extra mouths to feed, as well as this adorable $10 pumpkin-shaped serving bowl to make delicious side dishes look even better. 

As an editor who shops Target online for work and browses the aisles in person during my free time, I have my finger on the pulse of what’s worth buying. Keep scrolling to see the tableware finds I’m eyeing that will certainly crank up the coziness factor in your home.

Polyround Charger Placemat

No tablescape is complete without placemats, and these orange ones are ideal for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and everyday fall dining. The circular braided chargers are the easiest way to add a pop of color and texture to your space while also serving an even bigger purpose — to protect your table from scuffs and stains. Many reviewers say they are “easy to wipe clean,” and one shopper described them as “elegant, decorative, practical.” At $2 apiece, you can’t beat the price. 

Small Pumpkin Serving Bowl

You have jack-o'-lanterns outside your home and faux pumpkins inside, and now you can bring the ultimate fall symbol to your dining table with this serving bowl. It comes in a small size that can hold a little more than 2 cups, ideal for side dishes or as a Halloween candy jar, and an 11-cup version for large servings of side dishes like mashed potatoes at holiday dinners. Both bowl sizes are microwave-safe, and the smaller one is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. 

Table Runner 'Pumpkin'

During my weekly Target run, I spotted this pumpkin table runner along with other fall-ready designs, including a paisley option with quintessential autumn colors, a colorful checkered one, and a more versatile plaid pick. At the time, I couldn’t decide on just one, but now I’m itching to grab the pumpkin and paisley table runners to swap between all season long. Each one is just $15 and is a festive backdrop for comforting dishes and other table decor.  

Woven Accent Rug 'Thankful'

While many items on the list dress up dining tables, this accent rug is exactly what you need to bring a touch of seasonal spirit inside your kitchen. The neutral shade blends with almost any color scheme, and the ‘Thankful’ message will tie in the fall vibes. You can place it in front of your kitchen sink, oven, or the back door to a patio.
