The Cutest Kids' Stockings and What to Stuff Them With
Deck your mantel (or staircase or beds) with charming stockings selected just for your kiddo. Plus, shop what we'd put in each stocking.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, I can check the big items off my list pretty quickly. However, every year I seem to forget stocking stuffers until the last minute, so my kids' stockings end up being a jumble of randomness.
This season, I love the idea of creating a theme to work around and filling their stockings with buys tailored to their specific personalities. My oldest, the reader, is loving the Who Was? series and I'm eyeing the miniature library I found (scroll to the end!). My youngest, the artist, will have a stocking filled with colored pencils, sketchbooks and other creative endeavors.
Here's to the year of planning the best stockings ever.
These crewel stockings are bedecked in adorable decorations, from cats and dogs to gnomes and penguins. Your tiny kiddos will love the fun designs, as well as the tactile appeal of these playful stockings. When filling them for your littlest ones, look for adorable teethers, engaging baby toys (how fun is the koala tumbler?) and sweet musical playthings.
