Christmas stockings/sacks

[StillInMyPJJs]

Can anyone recommend where to buy a really lovely, large Christmas stocking or sack? For my DS that will last many years

I’ve had a look around but haven’t found anything I like. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I used thick red tights and cut the legs off. Then they are stretchy to fit parcels. Also you then have 2 identical ones so you can fill one and swap it over. Or better still start the tradition that stockings do not go in the bedroom!!!

When DDs were little I got them both to decorate a pillowcase - they are now 22 and 21 and these are what we still use! Warning, if you keep the same one forever they are very expensive to fill when they are older and their things are tiny 😂
(obviously I don’t really still have to do them stockings at their ages but it is my favourite part of Christmas shopping and they absolutely love their stockings).
ds came along a few years later and the dds chose him a sack in the shop that is the same size as their pillowcases and he’s never shown any interest in decorating his own!

I've bought a couple from here https://handmadechristmasco.com/browse/personalised-christmas-sacks/?srsltid=AYCX9vK0iD5tZVOY1pNU2-k4Y4ENbs_AAhExiS1QdkSJL_42z7PPwK58
They are lovely quality and you can personalised them

We have some lovely velvet ones my Mum made the kids - there’s lots of people on Etsy who make personalised ones I’d maybe have a look on there!

I agree with the recommendation for Etsy, our dd has a lovely one from there that we will continue to use for years to come.

Ive just ordered a couple of personalised ones from etsy. There's so much choice. I managed to get a winnie the pooh one for DD and a festive fox one for my fox obsessed DS

I made stockings for my DDs for their first Christmas - very easy to do and doesn't take long. I was able to use the trim from a baby dress as the "cuff" on one which makes it extra special. They are both sized so I can get my hand in comfortably to shove stuff to the bottom but are not so big it takes a lot to fill. At 22 and 24 this Christmas they are still going strong. Happy to help if you decide to DIY.

M&S have had some lovely ones. Not sure why I assumed adult DSS & wife would leave them behind but nope, they took em home. with them

I got the stockings and matching sacks from B&M a few years ago. The matching initial ones. They have lasted really well.

I agree. Bought mine from here years ago and they are brilliant and still like new. I like that they look 'authentic'.
