But I was still really unhappy with them. They're really wrinkly looking and they're really, really big. Plus every single one of them was off-center with the embroidered name. They sent a new one for WJ because it was REALLY off center, and the new one was better, but still nowhere near the center. Since we spent $100 total for everything I just wasn't willing to settle. So I called customer service and was on hold for like 20 mins, but when someone finally picked up, after I explained that I wasn't happy and wanted my money back, they immediately refunded my money. She even kind of offered for me to keep them, but since I had no use for them, she set up a fed ex pickup for them for the next day. All I had to do was put them back into the packages they came in and leave them on my front porch, and the fed ex guy would come with the correct label and pick it up and take it away. Sweet!</p> <p>Ordered these instead, and just in time with extra for expedited shipping and they will be here on Christmas eve!!!</p> <p><a href="http://gifts.redenvelope.com/gifts/felt-character-holiday-stocking-30080371?ref=HomeNoRef&#038;q=stockings&#038;viewpos=8&#038;trackingpgroup=rcsto" rel="nofollow">http://gifts.redenvelope.com/gifts/felt-character-holiday-stocking-30080371?ref=HomeNoRef&#038;q=stockings&#038;viewpos=8&#038;trackingpgroup=rcsto</a></p> <p>Santa for WS, Dove for myself, Snowman for WJ, and Penguin for LMW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-449499 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:18:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 449499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotomorrow: that is amazing. Wagon Sr. will LOVE this site!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-449495 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:12:56 +0000 sotomorrow 449495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our Pottery Barn Kids stockings from <a href="http://www.uglysofa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.uglysofa.com</a>. They sell "seconds" from all the PB brands, including West Elm. We were able to find pre-embroidered ones with our daughter and my husband's name (not mine though, so we went with Mom, Dad, and the baby's name). I think they were $10/each.<br /> ^^not affiliated with them in any way, but our stockings came with the PB tags still on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448816 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:11:44 +0000 shopaholic 448816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww... that sucks! I also think it might not look too bad to have WS's stocking a different color background. And the good thing about PBK stockings is that they have them every year, so you might score one on a good sale later down the line maybe? Sorry hun, but I bet they will still all look so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448784 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:56:16 +0000 mrs. wagon 448784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh also I should add... this is definitely putting into motion my plans to cross-stitch my own stockings. It'll take a few years to complete all 4 in my spare time so I AM glad I have the PBK stockings in the meantime.</p> <p>Here's one of the definites that I'm ordering:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O9KJ28/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&#038;smid=A2FP3WC79CXYXU" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O9KJ28/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&#038;smid=A2FP3WC79CXYXU</a></p> <p>cute, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448781 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:53:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 448781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe thanks for feeling my pain guys!! i WAS so excited about them. In past years I think it would have really pissed me off... now it's just annoying and I'm pretty sure Wagon Sr. will NEVER let me buy anything from them EVER. Haha. </p> <p>@photojane: really?? thank you, this makes me feel better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448649 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:50:36 +0000 photojane 448649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fwiw, my mom has 3 green stockings and 1 red one, and it actually doesn't look weird at all. It's barely noticeable. I think it will look nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448634 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:46:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 448634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!! I would be pretty upset too because I love their stockings and would love to have a set (also once we have our family completed). </p> <p>I mean I guess in a few years you could always replace them. Are they the same designs each year? Could you get the set this year and then get a snow man next year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448587 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:23:55 +0000 blackbird 448587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They definitely run out of stuff, ugh! They ran out of one of the bath wraps I wanted :( Which is nothing compared to personalized stockings, but still pretty par for the course with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448585 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:23:04 +0000 mediagirl 448585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I'm so sorry, I know you were SO excited about these stockings!! Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448572 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:15:59 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 448572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right when I saw the title of this post I knew something happened to your PBK stockings. You were soo excited too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448569 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:15:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 448569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so upset too!! Especially for something long-term that you want to use year after year. Can you still call and try to get a refund?? They don't have ANY girly stockings with the blue background? I ordered our PBK stockings over Black Friday and couldn't believe how many of them were already sold out. I would think they would ramp up their stock the month before Christmas! Annoyed for you. Grrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448453 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:02:47 +0000 littlek 448453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They always sell out!!! Drives me nuts...</p> <p>I ordered their stockings as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friggin-pottery-barn-kids#post-448450 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:00:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 448450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally decided to order something from PBK (our first purchase from there ever because Wagon Sr. hates them with a passion... mostly because of how pricey things are compared to other stores) and of course something goes wrong. We ordered 4 of their quilted Christmas stockings, all in different designs, and all personalized with our names. I was so excited about this because I was waiting for the past 3 years to have our second baby (and know their name) so we could all order coordinating personalized Christmas stockings. So we got a train for WS, a santa for me, a snowman for WJ, and a reindeer for LMW. They arrived yesterday, and all of them look fine EXCEPT WJ's stocking is a reindeer (so the same stocking as LMW!) AND his name is completely off-center both horizontally and vertically. I called customer service and they offered to either replace it or give me a 50% discount on the stocking, which were nice choices.</p> <p>BUT they are completely sold out of the snowman stocking, and the only ones they had left in stock were girly things like angels, ballerinas, and dolls. And of course the reindeer. So I asked them if they could replace BOTH WJ and LMW's stockings to give WJ the reindeer (with a better personalization job done to it) and give LMW one of the girly ones and they agreed to do that. So two new stockings are on their way.</p> <p>BUT I realized after I hung up the phone that this means that WS's stocking has a red background and the rest of us have a blue background. I set everything up this way because WS's train stocking and WJ's snowman stockings would have matched with the red, and mine and LMW's would have matched with the blue. Now WS's stocking will look out of place.</p> <p>GRRR. I'm pretty pissed about this. Even though the stockings were on major sale, with all the personalization it all came out to over $100. That's a lot of money to be spent on a set of stockings that I'm not happy with. </p> <p>Come to think of it, I should have just returned everything and asked for my money back.</p> <p>Ack. :( First world problems. </p>
