Thanksgiving Day Preparedness Guide

Thanksgiving Day is full of fun, love, excitement, and immense pressure for certain individuals. Good thing the tenants at Annapolis Town Center can set you up for success, no matter if you are a host or a guest. Check out our best tips for either role you may play this holiday season.

For Hosts

Turkey Day is by far one of the most treasured holidays of the year, but for hosts – it can be one of the most stressful days as well. With so many moving parts, a stacked guest list, and the 21st-century expectations of table decor – your head could be spinning before you even begin! So, let’s start with the basics and break down which tenant should be your go-to stop. 

Table settings and decor can be simple or elaborate, depending on your preference. Get started with personalized invitations straight from Paper Source. When you start here you can streamline a look for the entire Thanksgiving experience. Liking pairing the invitations with day-of personalized napkins and place cards. Next, head to ArHaus for the perfect table runner and drink glasses to cheers the evening away. They pair beautifully with Smyth Jewelers’ timeless serving platters, knife sets, and salad bowls. Don’t sweat the small stuff with the help of Bed Bath & Beyond. Get your table accents like pumpkins, flowers, garland, and long-stemmed candles. You can even welcome your guests with a Thanksgiving-inspired outdoor welcome mat.

 

What is Thanksgiving without the food?! Most families create dishes of their past for the present. So, Whole Foods may be your only needed stop for the best variety in ingredients. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t start some new tasty traditions. Sop in True Food Kitchen to purchase their Recipe Book. Seasonally changing, this book may have just the missing dish to complete your table. Feeling a bit overwhelmed yet? Cheat the system and let our property restaurants take the reins. With a plethora of dining options for all palettes, you can easily order ahead of time and pick up just before guests arrive (giving you enough time to put the dishes in your own serving bowls and plates)! 

For Guests

If you are not hosting the dinner yourself, practicing your best guest etiquette should be your top priority. In most instances, guests are required to simply show up with an empty stomach. Though, it is always polite and recommended to bring something small to show your appreciation to the host. Maybe their favorite bottle of liquor or wine from Bin201. A seasonally fragranced candle from Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, or one of the many home furnishings stores. You can even prep them for the next holiday with a wine-themed 12 Nights of Christmas advent calendar from Cooper’s Hawk. Or, grab the latest in accessory fashion fun! No matter your choice, our variety of tenants can provide you with what you need.

If you happen to take part in a potluck-style dinner hosted at someone else’s residence, then you know choosing the right dish to appease all in attendance is crucial. Start at Whole Foods where the ingredients are endless and the pre-made food can be the answer to your holiday prayers. From specialty appetizers in a variety of serving sizes to prepped charcuterie boards and aisles of delicious, healthy food options, Whole Foods can easily become your one-stop-shop. Be sure to pop in Target to help get those side dishes prepared the best way possible with the latest in cooking supplies, and looking fancy in their decorated serving dishes and side bowls. You will be sure to “wow” others with your Martha Stewart or Joanna Gaines-esque skills. 

So regardless if you are a host or guest, we have what you need to make this Thanksgiving Day special. Make sure to stay up to date on all things Town Center by following us on Instagram and Facebook (@AnnapolisTownCenter)!

Annapolis Town Center Is Making Changes

Trademark Property Company, mixed-use investor, developer, and operator, has started the repositioning of Annapolis Town Center, a combined two million-square-foot mixed-use property. Renovations and upgrades to the facility, located minutes from downtown Annapolis, are designed to increase the property’s vitality and enhance guests’ overall experience. These changes will help further evolve the 557,000 square feet of retail space, 45,000 square feet of Class A office space, and 550+ luxury multifamily units, including condominiums, into a central community destination.

“We are excited to craft a major evolution of the Annapolis Town Center,” said Terry Montesi, CEO of Trademark Property. “By rebranding and adding programmable public space, public art, and other public amenities, we believe we will take Annapolis Town Center to the next level to meet the needs and desires of today’s leisure customers, residents, and office tenants.” The Annapolis Town Center’s renovations include the addition of a new community gathering area, called the Green Village, which will include the new Boat House Pavilion to host diverse programming. This area will also offer comfortable seating centered around fire pits. Rebranded signage, including parking garage wayfinding, will be implemented throughout the property, while murals from local artists will also be installed. Some changes can already be seen, including a new paseo that provides better connectivity and walkability between the parking and retail areas. The property also recently launched new event programs such as Vinyls and Vino, Fall Fest, Fire and Ice, and Santa’s Cottage for friends and family to gather and enjoy.

“The changes happening here at Annapolis Town Center will help us provide guests a better, multi-faceted experience,” said Anthony Henry, General Manager of the Annapolis Town Center. “We’ve really considered our guests with the addition of the new community spaces, art installations, and diversifying tenants in hopes of providing enjoyable experiences whether it be through art, entertainment, dining, or commerce.” The Annapolis Town Center houses more than 50 tenants with a variety of premier lifestyle retailers and restaurants like True Food Kitchen, Anthropologie, Restoration Hardware, and Paper Source, and it is anchored by Whole Foods Market and Target. Trademark’s portfolio of mixed-use development, redevelopment, and institutional services experience includes WestBend and Alliance Town Center in Fort Worth; Galleria Dallas; Market Street – The Woodlands in The Woodlands, Texas (Houston); La Palmera Mall in Corpus Christi, Texas; Zona Rosa in Kansas City, Missouri; Bridgewater Commons in New Jersey; and North Point in Alpharetta, Georgia (Atlanta).

Tenant Spotlight: Stardust Deluxe

Stardust Deluxe is a unique shopping experience that marries expertly curated retail garments and accessories with authentic film and television designer pieces. With her roots in the LA film industry, the founder has over 30 years of costuming and styling experience and a passion for making every woman feel comfortable in her own skin.

Q: For those who don’t know, can you tell us more about what Stardust Deluxe is?
A: Stardust Deluxe is a women’s clothing and accessories boutique that caters to a more mature customer that wants something a little different and is not interested in fast fashion.

Q: How long has Stardust Deluxe been around and what is its origin story?
A: The boutique was born during the pandemic as a pivot from my first business, Mid Atlantic Costume. MAC is a costume rental house that rents contemporary clothing and uniforms to film and television projects along the east coast and Mid-Atlantic. We were doing Pop-Up sales and decided to search for a brick-and-mortar to launch Stardust Deluxe. We opened our door to the public on September 12th of this year.

Q: What is your favorite part of the Stardust Deluxe community and your patrons?
A: As a costumer in film and television for almost 30 years, I have vast experience dressing all types of bodies and characters. I love working with people to find things that make them feel comfortable and that tells a story about who they are. 

Q: What is unique about your boutique?
A: Stardust Deluxe is unique because I have blended one-of-a-kind designer pieces from my various film projects with things bought at market. We carry a selection of brands like Prada, Gucci, Isabel Marant, and Ferragamo – all at discounted prices. Some are new with tags, while others may be gently worn once or twice on camera. I love vintage, so I sprinkle in a bit of that as well.

Q: What is it like having your boutique at the Annapolis Town Center? What are some of your favorite aspects of the new location?
A: The Annapolis Town Center is a great location for us. I love getting to know the residents and their dogs! It feels awesome to be part of a community that really wants us to succeed. 

Q: Do you ever get to collaborate with other tenants?
A: Stardust Deluxe did a collaboration with Ruah Yoga when they had their Grand Opening. We offered a vast array of yoga and loungewear beside the vendors they had. It was a super fun experience and a great way to get to know your neighbors. Jane from Scout & Molly and I have been working on some collaborations as well. We will be announcing more details soon!

Q: Has Stardust Deluxe been involved with any Annapolis Town Center events? What has been your favorite?
A: We set up a booth at the recent Night out on the Town event. It was a great way to collaborate with so many others and enjoy the concert too!

Q: What can shoppers look forward to in the upcoming months?
A: We are about to put out a collection of new fall and pre-holiday styles. In addition, I will be bringing in high-end coats and jackets from MAC just in time for the cooler weather. Our store manager Dina and I just returned from a shopping trip and all of the items are starting to arrive. Sweaters, holiday blouses, and jackets will all be hitting the store in the next week!

Creating Your Spa Day

Autumn is a time when you might notice that your hair, skin, and nails are in need of some extra attention. Annapolis Town Center has tons of options for expanding your care routine. If you’re planning on booking a spa day or creating a home routine, it’s important to find the best resources for your needs.

Out-Sourced TLC

About Faces

Take time for yourself with one of their many massage services. Whether you’re looking to relax, relieve stress and tension, or improve circulation and energy, About Faces has the right massage therapy for you. Or, go for something less ‘full body” and schedule a facial. Their specialists can recommend appropriate skin treatments and advise you on your professional home skincare routine.

PAINT Nail Bar

The Talk of the Town Mani (Luxe Service), at PAINT Nail Bar, is the height of luxury from start to finish. It includes nail maintenance and detailing hydrating cuticle care, and an aromatic, exfoliating sugar scrub from the tips of the digits to the base of the knee or elbow. It also includes a painless heel paraffin treatment and relaxing extended massage. Make sure to take home with you some PRIMERS that brings you clean, luxe, non-toxic lotion that will have your skin-loving you back.

Build Your Own Routine

Target

We know that Target has an extensive Beauty and Personal Care section, so we broke down where to find some of the best products for making a spa day for yourself at home. Starting with facemasks, make sure you get what’s right for your needs! Find Eye Bright under eye mask in aisle A29 or any of the Que Bella masks like their pore minimizer or revitalizing mask in aisle A32. Then, head over to aisle A44 and grab a Gua Sha stone, a derma plane set, and a face steamer for your daily routines. And, if you want to add the cherry on top, grab a bottle of some bubble bath or bath salts on the way out. 

Bed Bath and Beyond

Continue your search across the street to Bed Bath and Beyond. Make sure you get spa day apparel like a new bathrobe and towel turban. Then, you can splurge without splurging and check out their options for home foot spa baths and pair it with a massage pillow or seat. 

There are tons of options for you whether you’re looking to go out for a spa day or looking to have your own set up at home. The Annapolis Town Center is a great place to find a wide range of beauty services and products.
