Our favourite Christmas stockings in the shops now....
Christmastime is almost here and we’ve got a quality selection of Christmas stockings lined up for you! Now that the lights are strung up all around the house and ice rinks have opened, it is time to start accumulating gifts under the tree – but of course, the all-important stocking can’t be forgotten in the spirit of things. We’ve looked everywhere and have chosen our favourite Christmas stockings to share with you this year. Hang them on the mantle with other Christmas stockings – one for each person in the family – or place at the foot of their bed. A fun option is to hang mismatching pairs along the stairs for a jaunty Christmas look and make it even more festive with a lit evergreen garland with pinecones and berries.
The Christmas stockings we have chosen are unique in their own ways, so you’ll find an exciting mix of handmade decorations along with wonderfully luxe pieces and everything in between. Red and white have been a prominent theme this holiday season with the slightest touch of green while some have opted for gorgeous shades of white and cream for a cool statement. Rustic-themed decorations are still quite popular this year so we’ve accordingly gathered a few of those as well. From playful patterns and the cosiest fabrics to a DIY Christmas specialty, you’ll find one to match your home’s Christmas theme this year. Some even have the added bonus of personalisation for a truly special delight!
Consider stockings like these plush ones from Dunelm, which provide an effortless Christmas look that is soft to the touch and so affordable too at only £4.99. With a simple understated design, it fits into any household and is the perfect size for storing yummy treats and hiding away small gifts until the big day arrives.
