The Setting
When’s the last time you went all-out on a tablescape at home? If you want to make your meal feel like an actual, normal holiday gathering, consider renting from a service like Social Studies. I discovered these guys just before this Thanksgiving when they collaborated with Spanish wine producer Campo Viejo, so I decided to try it out for myself, and all I can say is: “game changer.”
Social Studies’ gorgeous table setting themes—some of which are seasonal while others are more evergreen—are quite literally the quickest and easiest way to make your dining situation look professionally designed, and personally, I found that it made me look like I actually had my life together for my small and COVID-safe Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe it’s just you and the boo, or an intimate group of friends from within your quarantine bubble, or perhaps you’re a party of one with an Instagram persona to maintain...either way, I can’t recommend this adorable little company enough. Here’s how it all works, for reference. And, if you’re running behind, they’ll still be able to help you out to the best of their ability—just shoot them an email at hello@social-studies.com.
