Tips to be thankful for
Whether there's a dress code or not, let's face it, you'll want to look cute and feel comfortable while setting your Friendsgiving table, feasting and laughing the night away. Thankfully, Madewell has endless worthy outfit options for you to choose from.
At the risk of stating the obvious, remember to share what you're thankful for and have your guests do the same. We asked our good friend and chef, Woldy Reyes, why he celebrates Friendsgiving, and the 411 on that delectable dessert. See below for his heartfelt answer and Filipino Coconut Rice Cake recipe, which he so generously shared.
Friendsgiving is special to me because I get to surround myself with my chosen family. To be sitting at a table centered around food with the people you love support is a time for nourishment and bonding.

Friends helping friends is a tip that applies to all seasons and celebrations, so don't be shy asking for a hand if you're the host, or what you can do or bring if you're a guest.
Play our Friendsgiving mix from setup all the way through the last goodbye. A good playlist will set the vibe and get everyone into that party mood, trust!
