Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

I know it's not even Halloween yet but I'd like to start thinking about DS's Christmas stocking before his first Christmas.

I'm not into the "first Christmas" stocking. I'd want something that will be his stocking for a long time.

Right now, DH's and mine are blue denim. I had a denim one when I was single and when I met DH, I made his out of an old pair of jeans. So I was thinking of using DS's overalls for his.

But I may want to get us all new ones all together.... not sure if I'd want knit, fleece, monogramed, quilted, make my own.... too many options!

If you have pics, please post them! Or if you have have really cute, unique stockings, where did you get them?

Thanks!

ETA: I'm thinking I'd like to switch because I'd want ours to be Mommy and Daddy instead of our names now!

These are ours. I got them from Pottery Barn. My house is decorated very traditional for Christmas so these match perfectly. We also did Mommy & Daddy instead of our names. (Sorry the pic is so big.)

I just ordered Frankie's from Pottery Barn Kids on Monday and it arrived Tursday! I also got him a Santa Hat! I was so excited!

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

These are ours from Pottery Barn. Like you, I'm contemplating getting new ones with Mommy and Daddy on them. I'd probably get them from PB again.

I'm thinking of getting these from JCP.

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

I actually really like your idea of making your DS's out of his overalls !!!!

Maybe have Mommy, Daddy and DS's name embroidered on them ? Or if they are already written on, getting cute iron on patches that say it ?

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

i would like to order christmas stockings...quick question..Do you write mom and dad on your stockings or your first names???

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

Kind of hard to see, but these are ours. Ava picked hers out. Ours are just plain.

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

These are ours from this year and last year-we have the pottery barn ones. As soon as we decide on a name for DS we will get him one of the kid ones too.

I like them because they are big and you can fit stuff in them.

Also, ignore the stockings lined up on the bottom-those are cheapies I put together for family members who were here on Christmas morning. I'm slowing replacing them with the PB ones too:

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

We have the needlepoint ones from LL Bean. Ours say Mommy & Daddy. My mom still hangs the one that says Cathy from when I was a kid at her house.

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

Ooh! I'm loving this post! Such cute stockings!

Crankypants... can I come to your house Christmas morning?! Such a pretty scene!

Stefanie... The JCP ones are cute but the 3D animals attached would never survive my holiday packing method!

Bops... I do have an embroidery machine so I could monogram his overalls (which are actually hand me downs so I'm now thinking if I did go that route, I'd use his first pair of Levi's) but I did our names with glitter so I'd probably follow suit. Adding some kind of patch is a cute idea.

CMC720... It's up to you if you want mom & dad, mommy & daddy or your names. I personally want mommy & daddy because that's what my parents had growing up. I think it's cute that way.

CathyB... my mom actually has those needlepoint ones for all of the grandchildren in her VT condo. And she has the velvet ones for her house with all of the grandkids.

This is going to be a tough choice that I'm going to over think, I'm sure!

Doing some google searching to add ideas for anyone else looking in this post...

These are a cute style that I could make. I have a decent collection of Christmas fabrics.




These are adorable... but wonder how they'd hold up filled with gifts.


Really cute, on Etsy, made from recycled sweaters! Me likey!


Made from a Bernat yarn pattern...


Pottery Barn has these nice knit stockings...


From a site called Sweet William...


Just to post a few!

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

My mom bought ours from Lillian Vernon (hence why they say Chris, Kate and Christopher)

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

Last year, I ordered DS's from PB. I got the others from target a few years ago. I might order "mom" and "dad" stockings from PB this year, since they have ones that are similar to the one I ordered last year for Jake.

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

My picture won't post, so here is pictures off the website. DH has the Reindeer, I have the Snowman, and DS is the Gingerbread man. All in blue, like the bottom stocking. All Pottery Barn kids. Quality and size are great. Our's say our names too, and I'm thinking I might change them in a few years to Mom and Dad. DS is only going to be 9 months during CHristmas, so I don't think he will care.

Re: Do you have pics of your Christmas stockings?

I love the knit ones. We have the longer knit ones shown in the photo below. DH has green, I have red and DD has white - all with our names on them. I got an extra white one for a future child.
