Nice and New: John Robshaw Christmas Stocking
Not to be a brat or anything, but my family has been using the same gigantic Christmas stockings for more than 20 years, always filled to the brim with lots of goodies. So, at 12" x 21", the John Robshaw Block Printed Holly Stockings ($70 each) won't do for me, but they're certainly stylish enough to hang on the mantel simply as décor in my home. Available with a mistletoe, candy cane, or peppermint pattern, they're quite festive and would also make a wonderful gift for anyone you know who's building up their collection of holiday décor.

Fit Tip: Stock Up on Your Fave Sneaks
Finding the perfect exercise shoe is a tough challenge.

Simple Tip: Save Shrimp Shells to Make Stock
