I'm doing it. I'm starting a Christmas thread. I'm looking to get personalized stockings now that our family is complete. I love these PB kids ones but can't justify the price. Anyone know some more cost effective options? Gah, they were super on sale right after Christmas last year. If you can wait another season, you can get them as a great deal...

Etsy, maybe?

I agree with OR. I'd wait until after Christmas when they have killer deals. World Market had some cute options last year, but they wouldn't be able to embroider obviously. I got these burlap stockings from World Market and the initial ornaments from Pottery Barn last year and really liked how they turned out!

I got some from etsy that I really love. And thanks for reminding me that I need to order one for M!! I'll find the link.

I agree with OR. They will have big sales before Christmas (probably starting next month) and then they will be incredibly discounted right before and after Christmas if you want to wait. I'm on team waiting because you'll have them forever so might as well get exactly what you love.

I handmade some a couple of years ago that are delightfully tacky (they were modeled after some that my grandmother made in the 80's)... if we ever have another kid they can have my stocking because I am not going through that again 😂. Sewing and crafting are not my strengths.

I've sewn stockings for H, M, A (my husband), and my sister's boyfriend.
My sister and I still have the stockings our mom knit for us.
Also, A's aunt knit stockings for the kids last year. Thanks, but they're not what is used. They'll be decorations this year.
So, too many stockings and not all matching.
I sometimes want to sew ones for my sister and myself, but I can't give up my mom's.

Definitely the least crafty person ever so a hard no on making my own. I hadn't thought of etsy, I'll look through those today. I might end up waiting and ordering the pb kids ones after Christmas. I seem to remember that last year they had a big stocking sale right before Christmas too.
