Going to wait till we are done with having more till I buy nice forever stockings. The ones I got on are cute cable knit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1263031 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:23:25 +0000 HappyBaker 1263031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo - we bought 4 as well but only have one LO right now, we are waiting to get them all embroidered together when #2 comes along someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262944 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:09:20 +0000 shellio 1262944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also - rather than embroidery, here is another option for stockings, you could hang a tag for each person:<br /> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/170224415/personalized-tag-from-linen-burlap?ref=sr_gallery_21&#038;ga_search_query=stocking+tag&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_ship_to=US&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_facet=stocking+tag" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/170224415/personalized-tag-from-linen-burlap?ref=sr_gallery_21&#038;ga_search_query=stocking+tag&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_ship_to=US&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_facet=stocking+tag</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262938 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:07:16 +0000 shellio 1262938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: Look at etsy!! They have so many cute options, and you are supporting an artist. Plus many of the shops stay in business for years so you could likely buy additional ones in the future. </p> <p>I actually made our stockings but my inspiration was from etsy. And this is embarrassing to tell but I definitely started like 10 of them - at the time last year we only had 1 LO, now we have two but I was thinking, what if we have 3-4 kids, then someday they bring over their spouses, I want everyone to have consistent stockings! I told DH I was making extras for if grandparents or other family spend the night with us on Christmas eve in the future or something - partly true :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262914 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:03:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1262914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: to be honest unless you're using some crazy unique font I'm sure most embroidery places have the same font. I just plan to bring my fourth into a local place and have them match the font and yarn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262906 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:01:53 +0000 mrs. wagon 1262906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: You could always get a Baby's First Christmas stocking? And use it as the "first Christmas" stocking for any future kids too? I totally get it for the first christmas thing! We actually had 3 Christmases before we had a second so every single year I went through this...! I grudgingly put up and filled the "cheap" stocking and scowled at the pictures. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262895 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:59:35 +0000 dojo 1262895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: That is smart. I guess I'm just so excited about LO's first Christmas that I wanted to get them now! Buuuuuut he will obviously not remember and won't even care. hmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262868 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:53:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 1262868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: I totally went through this too. The first few christmases I just had a dollar section stocking for Wagon Jr. I didn't like it at the time, but looking back I'm really glad I did it. I wanted to order all 4 stockings at once to ensure that they were consistent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262813 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:43:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1262813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: Merry Stockings!

I wouldn't have even thought to look there!</p> <p>@littlek: I shouldn't have looked. So cute! I love how whimsical their things are.</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: The Red Envelope ones are so cute! That's such a pain to pay that much and then have it be wrong! Glad they had good customer service though.</p> <p>@HabesBabe: @dagret: Oh my gosh... Such a good deal!</p> <p>@woohoo585: Those are really cute! </p> <p>Ok so I now I have some major decisions to make - so many options!!! I really want to have them be forever or at least for a long time stockings so I want to be sure I really love them (especially since they're not exactly cheap).</p> <p>I wonder if I should 'think ahead' and buy 4 (w/o a name obviously). We are planning to perhaps have a second LO in the future and I would ideally want them all to match. Or I guess I could wait to purchase... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262619 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:02:10 +0000 betsyboop 1262619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Ugh, and now I'm kicking myself for ordering our stockings from PBK :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262522 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:43:02 +0000 mrs. wagon 1262522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: you would NOT believe the "I told you so" explosion I had to endure after that!!

When I called about the girl angel stocking they explained that they ran out of train stockings so they substituted the angel since mine had an angel on it. And then they embroidered a boy's name on it. Haha. They offered to send a replacement (or a whole set of replacements so we wouldn't have duplicates) but they only had stockings with GIRLS on them. angel, doll, and ballerina. That's why they refunded my money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262459 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:33:07 +0000 Lindsay05 1262459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been looking too but can't find any nice ones in Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262439 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:29:17 +0000 mrskc 1262439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I guess the only this is, is that they don't have the same stocking anymore.. .at least maybe it's sold out.

Our first year as a family of 4 so I wanted to order our "forever" stockings. Was so pissed when they arrived because all the embroidery was off-center and one stocking was completely the wrong one (a girl angel with "Rob Jr." embroidered on top...). PB was great in getting me my money back though and offered to send new stockings for free. Instead I took the money and ordered a set from Red Envelope which I LOVED!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262352 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:12:10 +0000 sungirl 1262352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check Land's End </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stockings-other-than-pottery-barn#post-1262348 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:11:28 +0000 prettylizy 1262348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our stockings from Kohls and had them embroidered locally.
