We got 30% though and there is still the issue that the font might not be available for future kiddos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2365349 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:57:38 +0000 jetsa 2365349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: ahh no, I'm sorry. You probably got almost as good of a deal if you didn't get them monogrammed. I've seen the 25% off a few times but the $9/each for monogramming was offputting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2365293 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 19:34:13 +0000 Reese 2365293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: argh!! I'm so upset!! I already ordered them 😣 I ordered those exact stocking but didn't get them monogrammed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2365249 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 18:15:52 +0000 jetsa 2365249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: </p> [attach=2716/15/ny4zah.337x600.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2328896 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:05:48 +0000 jetsa 2328896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: just saw this.

Do they ALL go on sale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326434 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:22:53 +0000 jetsa 2326434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: yep that's when I ordered in 2013! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326407 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:04:01 +0000 rattles 2326407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make ours, but I'd vote for first names. Nobody who calls me Mama is filling my sticking for the next couple of decades. I like that Christmas brings out the kid in all of us, I guess, and that's how Santa's always known me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326383 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:48:40 +0000 Reese 2326383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: For some reason I thought the PB sale was after the holidays. Do the stockings still make it in time for Christmas?</p> <p>@cmomma17: I will have to check that out.</p> <p>@Finfan: I am being swayed back to the mom/dad stocking names... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326186 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 17:26:58 +0000 clover 2326186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on ordering from pbk soon (once we finalize LO2's name, due next month). Debated the whole first name for parents vs mom/dad and decided on actual names since stockings are supposed to be Santa things and we're not Santa's parents (just my weird logic). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326124 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:29:42 +0000 Mrs. Detour 2326124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another option is to pick a theme (i.e. all have a snowflake, all are red etc) and have none of them match. I am knitting stockings as the family grows. I knit two for DH and me after we were married and am knitting one now for LO's first Christmas. They are all different solid shades of red based mostly on what I liked most at the store, but vary in size and stitch pattern. It's been really fun to hunt out THE yarn for a stocking since it will (hopefully) be in the family for a while. I imagine that the same it true for (more sanely) buying stockings as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326107 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:17:41 +0000 Finfan 2326107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours coordinate but do not match. We have Mom, Dad, and DD1's name. DD2 will be here soon but I haven't ordered her a stocking yet. If it's not here by her first Christmas, oh well! We will be at my parents' house anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326050 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:39:42 +0000 jetsa 2326050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: thanks I swore they had a stocking sale but no one else I've talked to remembered it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326045 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:35:51 +0000 youboots 2326045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: these are ours. Her great grandma made hers. <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/75284" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/75284</a></p> <p>They say mom &amp; dad.</p> <p>These are made year after year,though I don't love this years designs. I expect Gigi will make stockings for future LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326041 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:34:56 +0000 cmomma17 2326041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sungirl: Yay! Another lands end fan (and another stepmom!) :) I always overstuff our stocking too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326038 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:33:37 +0000 cmomma17 2326038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Embroidered needlepoint stockings from Lands End. Same ones we had as kids so they are very sentimental to me. I put our first names, not mom and dad.<br /> Lands end has 90% of the same designs from year to year with some new ones mixed in. And they all coordinate well so it's easy to add as the family grows. Plus the quality is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326026 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:27:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2326026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: sooo cute<br /> @Reese: glad I'm not the only one who's ridiculously excited for Christmas</p> <p>I'm actually buying all new ones this year since we are done having kiddos, and I'll buy at PB like end of Novemberish when they have their stocking sale. I bought an advent calendar from them last year and love it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2326019 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:22:14 +0000 Reese 2326019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: She is so close to me! perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question/page/2#post-2325743 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:58:17 +0000 sungirl 2325743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Got needlepoint stockings from Land's End<br /> 2. Did first names...because I have a stepdaughter and thought it would be weird to put Mom<br /> 3. With these classic stockings, they always have them just change up the designs...we each have a different one and I ordered a new one for our last LO and they all work together.<br /> 4. they are a little small so I always have overflow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325682 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:18:14 +0000 travelgirl1 2325682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: Here you go :happy:</p> <p>The store is Oh Rosie Day on Facebook</p> <p>[attach=2112/15/nwh9ee.432x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325581 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:59:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2325581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Now that monogramming is becoming more popular, we have a TON of stores that opened in the last 2 years that do embroidery. And you can bring anything in and for like $5-10 I think they will put your name/monogram on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325568 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:49:52 +0000 PurplePeony 2325568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: there's a picture about halfway down in this thread: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-stockings-pics-please#post-1955699" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-stockings-pics-please#post-1955699</a> :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325534 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:30:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2325534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I have stockings like these that my mom made when we were little: <a href="http://www.merrystockings.com/christmas-stocking-kits/bucilla-felt-applique.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.merrystockings.com/christmas-stocking-kits/bucilla-felt-applique.html</a> We still use them, so mine has my first name on it.</p> <p>For my son's first Christmas last year, she made one for him with his name, and I suspect for the new baby she'll do the same. That leaves my husband as the odd man out (he has a plain red fuzzy one that he used when HE was a kid, and it has his first name on it). My mom offered to make him one too but I think he likes using his childhood stocking as much as I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325517 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:21:12 +0000 jetsa 2325517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I'm in a rural area so I've never even heard of an embroidery store.

Our local store has a TON of fonts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325494 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 10:12:43 +0000 regberadaisy 2325494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) merry stockings<br /> 2) mom &amp; dad. We're not the type to want our kids to call us by our first name and when they're 40 they're probably not going to call us mommy and daddy :)<br /> 3) I bought an extra for #2 before she arrived and left it unembroidered. Need to find someone to embroider it. It's not a huge deal to me if it's not 100% the same font. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stocking-question#post-2325476 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 09:55:23 +0000 looch 2325476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: We have ones from the Quilted Stocking Collection, with the blue background.
