“And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care…” We love that poem, even if some of us have never had chimneys to hang our stockings by. It hasn’t stopped tons of people from finding a place to hang them every year so Santa can fill them with small goodies. I mean, where else are we going to get a year’s supply of ChapStick and cozy socks?
According to legend, the tradition started with children using their actual socks. Now we’ve got massive foot-shaped bags specifically for the holidays. An excellent stocking not only holds sweet trinkets from your loved ones but also says a little something about your personality or sense of style. Whether you’ve used the same stocking forever or change it up on a regular basis, if you’re looking to upgrade your (and maybe your family’s) stocking to something a little more personal, check out these unique options.
