Christmas Stockings

Felt Christmas Stockings

No Christmas would be complete without stockings to bring a sense of holiday grandeur to your home.  Whether you are looking for a traditional red stocking or for an elegant monochromatic white stocking, our diverse selection ensures you will find the perfect Christmas stocking to suit your decor.

The tradition of hanging stockings originated in Europe, where the children left a sock filled with food for Sleipnir, the horse of the mythical German God, Odin.  Odin would show his gratitude by filling up the children’s’ socks with food and gifts.  Today the tradition of Christmas stockings is cherished by adults and children alike, as they symbolize the anticipation and excitement of the holiday season.

Stocking Options

Quilted stockings are ideal for a traditional Christmas decor.  Red and green plaid and appliqués give them a cozy, homemade feel.  Needlepoint and cross stitch stockings make ideal heirloom gifts for baby’s first Christmas, as do plush knitted stockings.  Wool stockings are the perfect complement for a country cottage Christmas theme, whereas velvet stockings are the ultimate accessory for a luxurious mountain cabin holiday.  If you are looking to break tradition, stockings with stripe, polka dot and animal print patterns highlight your taste for contemporary decor.  Don’t forget to personalize each stocking with embroidery, glitter or appliqués.
