20+ Creative Christmas Stocking Ideas For Stylish Interiors

Christmas stockings are a fun tradition that brings added excitement to the Christmas season. Some families hang theirs as they decorate their homes, waiting for Santa to arrive and fill them on Christmas Eve. Other families choose to hang theirs at the last minute, just hours before the big guy arrives. No matter what your family tradition is, those stockings have a big job to do. Their job is to contain the smallest of presents – often those that can bring the biggest of smiles.

Styles vary from the traditional plush reds, golds and greens, to fun and unique to reflect the personality of the person who receives it. A fun stocking can be a great twist on the Christmas gift basket idea or you can fill a pretty themed stocking with treats for a hostess gift.

A fun hostess gift might include salsa, a bag of gourmet corn chips, and some spicy cheeses. You could create a stocking hostess gift for nearly any theme. A golf themed gift stocking would be great for that hard-to-buy for person on your list.

Handmade Christmas stockings are available in nearly any theme you can imagine – with hundreds of options available. Sure, you can always find a cheap “Made in China” option at any store, but where is the tradition in that? Handmade decorations gives a traditional glow to your holidays while helping to support an American artisan.
