That's what I did last year before J was born. I did personalize it though because we had already decided his name and knew he was going to be a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105255 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 11:12:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1105255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy them if you love them!</p> <p>I got these on sale last year and monogrammed them - <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/woodland-stocking-collection/" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/woodland-stocking-collection/</a> - I wanted ones that I love and know it'll last years and years!

I think under $30/stocking is pretty good. $30 would be my max.</p> <p>I was in love with the idea of getting ones that were vintage chenille, but they're just way too expensive and would cost as much to make as I would buying those ones. Christmas stockings is just not something i'm willing to spend tons on per stocking.</p> <p>They're pretty though.... <a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/024/0/5647809/il_570xN.484112286_17fe.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img0.etsystatic.com/024/0/5647809/il_570xN.484112286_17fe.jpg</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105218 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 11:01:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1105218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: ohhh those are n<i>iiiii</i>ce.

Anyway, I never had this kind of stuff growing up so it's important for me to provide that for our children. :) I'm not going to be upset if when she's old enough she wants and asks for a Disney Princess stocking. I'll just put this one away for when she outgrows the Disney princess. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105147 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:47:30 +0000 looch 1105147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Yeah, that's my feeling! I mean, I want him to remember that he had this huge stocking and he could fit in it as a child, lol.</p> <p>The thing is, you can totally plan for them to have heirloom "whatever, " but then they only get one. And then they get married and their partner has another stocking, so what happens? They get new ones, lol, unless they liked the mixed look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105141 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:45:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1105141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: you have seen my fireplace! Oh wait, have I shared a pic yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105131 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:44:08 +0000 bpcmarj 1105131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I think I am with you on this one. P love Minnie Mouse, so I think we will get her a Minnie one. DH and I need new ones, but we will just get whatever is cheap :) Plus, we don't have a mantle, I think if we did I would be more particular about what they looked like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105070 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:31:55 +0000 Bao 1105070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a good deal since they will be used over and over. My mom bought A's for her and DH and I got some when we moved in together, so they don't match ;) but it's ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105037 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:26:19 +0000 looch 1105037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehh, I totally plan to get other stockings down the line, right now my son is a kid and I want our christmases to reflect that. I had originally wanted ivory cable knit ones, like sweaters, but we'll get those later. Now, we enjoy the child ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105028 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:24:36 +0000 jill_a55 1105028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Those are so cute!! Totally worth it! I would buy an extra... I am super picky about them too, and would hate to miss out on one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105019 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:23:20 +0000 bpcmarj 1105019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: YES!!! Buy 2 more in case something happens to another one :)</p> <p>Sorry, I am totally a Christmas purchasing enabler. I freaking love Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105005 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:20:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1105005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I like they way you think! ;)</p> <p>Here's my next question. We are planning on having at least one more child and there is always a fear of company closing down. I think this personalization ^ is pretty generic and any embroidery place can match. Should I buy an extra one NOT personalized for future baby #2? I want all the stockings to match on the fireplace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1105001 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:20:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1105001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours at Wal-Mart, but I forgot how much it was. I know a few others have snagged some from there as well (they're surprisingly nice)! It was def under $20 .. maybe even under $15? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-xmas-stockings#post-1104996 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:19:18 +0000 bpcmarj 1104996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I love those! Think of it as less that $1 a year at that price :) </p>
