Christmas stockings/ bags (that hold the gifts)

[cyclingwife]

Hi all,
After many years of use the knitted Christmas stockings are on their way out. Last year I resorted to old shoe boxes to contain my teens stocking gifts.
I can do the shoe boxes again this year but wondered if anyone has seen any Christmas bags/ stockings? Ideally ones that can be used again and again for another 5 years or so.
Thanks

Matalan have some lovely red velvet sacks and stockings with initials on. B&M have similar

The B&M ones were great, but you've probably left it at too late now as they fly off the shelves when they come in.

Agree with PP about Matalan. M&S had some initial stockings.

Another vote for B&M

There's an independent company called 'Lily the fish' who print stockings with your kids names who I used last year. Really lovely and great quality. Would easiky do 5 years plus.

Plenty yesterday in B&M.

Hessian sacks. From santa sacks. Co. uk

Four different patterns of big cloth bags/ sacks in the Card Factory. Saw them yesterday.

I've bought some reusable cloth gift bags and stockings for mine from this Etsy store - they arrived yesterday and are really good quality.

Lots of hessian sacks and glittery boxes in my local TK Maxx at the moment!

We use the same sack I bought for out son's 1st Christmas when he was 3 months old - he's 16 now! I couldn't change it as it's a tradition plus it connects to so many memories.

Thanks all, sorry for late reply I didn't receive any notifications.

I had tried B&M and TK Maxx last week but nothing.

Will check out the cloth bags on etsy thanks @TartanDMs

Next are doing some beautiful ones!

I got these 3 years ago-they hold a LOT1www.<a class="break-all" href="https://amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0768XSJY9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?psc=1&ie=UTF8&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-christmas-4407401-Christmas-stockings-bags-that-hold-the-gifts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0768XSJY9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks @sueelleker i had just resorted to looking on amazon!

We use rugby/Football socks.

We have the matalan ones, they are lovely quality. And weren't overly expensive!

Homesense! I bought some lovely ones from there which will last us quite a few years 👍🏻
