Beautiful Christmas Stockings in Every Style!

Hanging up Christmas stockings is one of my family’s favorite traditions! On Christmas Eve, every member of the family, right down to our dog, Oliver, has their photo taken placing their empty stocking onto a hook on the mantle, anxiously awaiting the overflowing version the next morning!

I was fortunate that my mother commissioned a craftswoman to knit a set of stockings for the five of us that will definitely be family heirlooms! But heirloom quality stockings don’t have to be hand made or super expensive! Take a look at these lovely choices:

Traditional Needlepoint

Horchow offers classic needlepoint stockings in five designs with free personalization! It could take decades to needlepoint stockings like these by hand for your family! (Needlepoint Christmas Stockings, $45)

Stunning in Silver

Exquisitely hand embroidered stockings are crafted of luxurious satin and tissue fabrics and will add a touch of glamour to any mantle! Four patterns are available, with complimentary personalization possible on three of the four choices. (Silvery Christmas Stockings, $75)

Whimsical

From Patience Brewster, these are adorable and detailed stockings each feature a unique and unusual personality! Four styles are available, no mogoramming. (Whimsical Stockings, $75)

MacKenzie-Childs

Designed like only this company can, these brightly colored silk stockings are jester-style, with stripes, plaid, checks and dots and detailed with ruffles, checked cording, glass beads and pom poms. (Mackenzie-Childs Christmas Stockings, $78)

French Country Flair

This set of four coordinating stockings includes one plaid, one striped and two in toile patterns, each trimmed with velvet! (French Country Flair, $135)

Southwest Style

For a fun twist on traditional stockings, check out these cowboy inspired stockings from Crow’s Nest! With cowhide, hand laced details, stars and studs, these are perfect for your western home or perhaps even your ski or lake house! (Bunkhouse Boot Stockings, $74)
