Christmas stockings are a real symbol of the season, whether you hang them at the foot of your bed, on your mantlepiece or fit them seamlessly in with the rest of your holiday décor. There is good reason that Christmas stockings in the UK remain one of the most popular festive decorations available!
Why Christmas Stockings Are a Festive Must-Have
Christmas stockings add real charm to any home décor, bringing festive cheer and hints of gifts to be opened when the big day rolls around. Part of their enduring charm is in the fact that they’re suitable for everyone; from men’s and women’s Christmas stockings to children’s Christmas stockings and even dog Christmas stockings, there’s the perfect Christmas stocking for the whole family to enjoy. The joy of watching a loved one open up the gifts inside can create memories you’ll treasure for years. To say nothing of the stylish benefits of using stockings as festive home décor!
How to Choose the Perfect Stockings
Like any festive decoration, not all Christmas stockings are the same. The perfect choice for your family depends on a few things, but primarily it’s down to preference. We’ve got stockings that come in various shapes and sizes, with designs to suit any décor. From modern styles for grown-up Christmases to fun, playful designs for the kids, we’ve got something for every taste. Some popular stocking choices include:
Classic Stockings: Timeless designs with Father Christmas, Christmas trees, and snowflakes evoke the nostalgia of Christmases in years gone by. These stockings bring back memories of Christmas joy for kids and grownups alike.
Personalised Stockings: A very popular choice for Christmas stockings in the UK, personalised stockings add a great touch. Add a name, initials or custom message to make your festive stockings all the more special this year.
Luxury Stockings: Christmas is the perfect time to be decadent! Why not choose stockings made from premium fabrics like velvet or embellished with intricate embroidery?
Where to Put Christmas Stockings
The question of where to hang your Christmas stockings can be a tricky one to answer, particularly if you don’t have a fireplace at home! For those lucky fireplace owners, there’s no doubt you should hang them carefully from the mantel, but always remember to remove them if you’re lighting the fire! Anyone without a fireplace can still find a great spot for their Christmas stockings – why not hang them on the staircase bannisters, on a windowsill or even on the Christmas tree itself. Where you put them doesn’t matter as much as what you put in them, after all!
What to Put in a Christmas Stocking
So, what to put in a Christmas stocking? This is the big question! Fortunately, in the run-up to Christmas, stocking stuffers line the shelves of most major shops and retailers. It’s best to choose smaller items that will fit neatly into the stocking. Small doesn’t necessarily mean cheap though! While you can get plenty of stocking filler bang for your buck, it’s important to ensure that the items you buy are things the recipient will want and use all year long. One great choice could be to put family Christmas pyjamas into each family member’s stocking – a great way to celebrate the holidays with matching outfits!
