Cool Decorations for Thanksgiving 2025
1. Cute Turkey
Designed by Fulcrum Studio
This pocket-sized turkey is stealing hearts faster than Grandma's pumpkin pie! It features fully articulated joints that wiggle and wobble with delightful personality. At just palm-size, it's perfect for last-minute printing that you could start one now and have it gracing your table by dinner! The multicolor design (black feathers, brown body, yellow beak and feet, red head) creates stunning results, but don't worry if you only have one color, as even monochrome versions charm everyone who meets them. What makes this model special is its accessibility: no supports needed, just 15% infill, and fast print time.

2. Acorns LED Light
Designed by NUKDDD
As evening settles on Thanksgiving Day and conversations drift into that golden hour of gratitude, these acorn lights create pure magic.

Each acorn cap twists and locks with a satisfying click, securing your tea light inside while the latticed design casts intricate shadows that dance across your tablecloth. Scatter them down your table runner, hang them from branches in a centerpiece, or give guests one to take home as a glowing reminder of the day. You can also print at 160% for AAA battery candles or keep them petite for standard tea lights.
