Thanksgiving Day has its origin from the first thanksgiving celebration by the Pilgrims in 1621. The Pilgrims held a communal feast with the native Indians, giving thanks to God for their bountiful harvest in the New World. Today, Thanksgiving Day is a special day to give thanks for our blessings. Most Americans celebrate this holiday by having a feast at home with family and friends. However, if you cannot celebrate this holiday in person with your loved ones, you can send them a Thanksgiving gift and let your gratitude be known. On the other hand,if you are invited to spend the holiday with friends, you probably would like to send a Thanksgiving gift to your host for his/her thoughtfulness. This article provides some Thanksgiving gift ideas.

1. Cornucopia of Cookie Bouquet:
A symbol of Thanksgiving is the cornucopia, which is associated with the blessing of abundance. The cornucopia is often depicted as a hollow, horn-shaped basket filled with fruits, flowers and vegetables. According to Greek mythology, the person in possession of the "horn of plenty" would have whatever he or she wished for. Thus, a great way to give thanks and convey your warm wishes of abundance is to send a cornucopia of cookie bouquet with twelve delicious cookies that include chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, peanut butter, M & M, white chocolate chip pecan.

2. Thanksgiving gift basket:
Another way to give thanks is to send a Thanksgiving gift basket to individuals you really care about. You can send a harvest market basket with decorative little Pilgrims and festive harvest plant picks, and filled with gourmet treats such as vanilla cream cookies, creamy garden herb and vegetable dip, smoked almonds, caramel corn, Stone wheat crackers, French chocolates, cafe latte mocha mix, fall candy corn mix, and accompanied with a thankful message.

3. Fruit Basket:
Autumn is the harvest season for fruits such as apples. For harvest gift, you can send a fruit basket filled with mouthwatering fresh fruits, including assorted seasonal crisp apples, juicy Sunkist oranges, and pears.

4. Dried Fruit and Nut Harvest Tray:
For snacking pleasure, you can consider sending a harvest tray perfectly presented with fresh, huge nuts and rich, delicious dried fruits. You can find colossal pistachios, giant almonds, dates, dried pears, dried October sun plums, dried apricots, and prunes.

5. Pumpkin Patch Container Garden:
The pumpkin is another symbol of Thanksgiving. You can select a gift that will allow your recipients grow their own pumpkin garden, starting out with an all in one container garden that contains easy-grow pumpkin seeds, nutrients, soil and a pumpkin designed leak resistant container. They just have to plant, water and grow all in the container.

In summary, sending Thanksgiving gifts to give thanks for your blessings is a great way to let your gratitude be known. You can send your friends and loved ones a Thanksgiving gift basket, a cornucopia of cookie bouquet, fruit basket, harvest tray of dried fruits and nuts, or a pumpkin patch container garden.
