Once upon a time, pre-kids, I decided to make myself and DH Christmas stockings, just like my grandma had done for my family growing up, using those Bucilla felt kits with sequins & embroidery floss that take FOREVER. I made two gorgeous stockings for the two of us....then DD1 was born, and I finished my stocking with her name instead of my own, figuring I'd make one for myself the next year. Fast forward 5 Christmases (DD1 is 4.5), and..yup! I have a half finished stocking for DD2, a kit purchased for myself, and nothing for DD3. I would love to do this project someday, but not now!

Sooo...this year I need to just bite the bullet and buy our family Christmas stockings. If you had to buy stockings right now, what would you purchase? Trying not to go crazy $$$, but we will use them for at least a few years, and I would like to put our names on them if possible. I need five - three for little girls, one adult male, and one adult female. Our family mantle is grey/taupe marble with warm gray walls surrounding it.
