Holiday Stockings Both Mom and Tot Will Love

Kate Stahl — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 04:14:54 PST

Christmas morning just wouldn't be the same without a stuffed-to-the-brim stocking, full of candy, tiny toys, and lots of cheer. Your kids love them because they start the gift frenzy on Christmas morning; you love them because they buy you time to drink your morning coffee before your lil ones are begging to unwrap gifts. Line your fireplace with some of the coolest stockings we've seen this season, and you'll have a whole new reason to appreciate your stockings - the great style they add to your home for the holidays!

Given the variety of beautiful, modern stockings currently on the market, it's clear that hanging Christmas stockings isn't a kids-only affair. While the appeal of these simple and pretty Hable Elegant Eyelet Stockings ($48) may be lost on a toddler, they're perfect for an adult household.

What's your tradition? Do you hang stockings for the over-18 set at your house?

During that same holiday special with a furry scene stealer, Michelle Obama shared that of course Bo has his own stocking for their very first Christmas at the White House. Aww!

Now, most of you plan to treat a pet to a little something extra for the holidays, but how many of you have a stocking on the mantle for furry faces in addition to the human ones? (I'll clue you in on a little secret: if the answer is "yes," check back for my small gift ideas for dogs and cats later this week!)

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers

CasaSugar — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:30:42 PST

Opening stockings and seeing my friends and family open their gifts are probably my two favorite elements of Christmas. My family is always spoiled with enormous, brimming Christmas stockings. Our stocking stuffers are a mix of drugstore-variety essentials like Chapstick and socks, and a bit pricier things like special votives, coasters, and kitchen wares. So for this stocking stuffer guide, I tried to keep to my typical budget of $25 or less. I'd pick a couple "higher-end" things that stand out to you, and then mix in the fun and cheap-o finds.

Don't have a Christmas stocking yet? Or just want to upgrade yours to something prettier? Be sure to check out my roundup of designer Christmas stockings! And check out all of our other gift guides here!

Love It or Leave It? American Apparel's Cut-Out Stockings

What I mean to say is, ass-less stockings. The lovely Sasha Grey models these "sheer luxe cut-out panty hose," which are coming soon to American Apparel. I'm still trying to figure out if they have a utilitarian ass-pect, or if they're strictly for show.
