Best Xmas stockings

[Frogsalad]

It’s our babies first Christmas so we won’t be getting them any gifts but I’d like to get them a lovely stocking that we can re-use every year. Any suggestions on where to look? A personalised option would be quite nice.

Decent budget - not on the high street

not so decent budget - eBay

The loveliest are the ones you or Granny (or Grandpa) make with lots of love sewn or knitted in. They aren’t hard to do and will be treasured for a lifetime.

Lovely, yes

but many of us don’t have grandparents or have grandparents that… don’t knit

or

don’t want to knit a stocking

That would be lovely, except I have no Granny or grandpa, or mother, or father. And I have zero interest or time in learning how to do it myself.

I got these ones for us and my baby and they are lovely!

My top hint is do not get one that is a sack!! Becomes very expensive to make it look full, especially as they get older!!!

We bought our DD a personalised one from The Great Little Trading Company for her 1st Christmas. I’m guessing they still do them. Really lovely thick fabric, with nice designs.

Noths and Etsy have knitted stretchy personalised ones

Next have cute ones and Traditional style ones online.
