Big Deal: Hable Construction Stocking Sale

Erin Behan — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:59:00 GMT

I love Hable Construction stockings a lot (in fact, I wrote about them in last year's 5 days of Stockings feature). So, I'm super psyched to find select styles on sale at more than half off. The coral felt stocking, normally $135 is now just $65. There's four more stockings that are just $65, but act quickly because the stock is limited and the season is upon us. Hable Construction's handmade felt stockings are put together by a women's cooperate in Hungary and use traditional applique techniques.

Anthropologie's ice skate stocking ($58) adds an extra dimension with a wooden skate cutout attached to the felt and applique stocking. Nobody does old-fashioned yet modern better than Anthropologie, and this stocking is no exception. Happy stocking hunting!

5 Days of Stockings: White Christmas Stocking at Sprout

What stocking will look great next to the Eames lounger and won't clash with the marble fireplace? This all-white floral stocking ($41.75) from Sprout Home should do the trick. In white, it's minimalist without being boring, but there's also a similar version available in color for those who need more panache from their holiday stockings. And lest you think modernism is cold and lifeless, the stocking has a small picture frame to personalize it to the recipient.

5 Days of Stockings: Sock Monkey Stocking on Etsy

I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with sock monkeys, and there's something doubly satisfying about sock monkeys on a stocking. This gem is from Etsy's Oneluckybaby shop and runs $35. You can also get the stock embroidered with your lucky boy or girl's name on it for an additional $10.

5 Days of Stockings: Monster Stocking

Erin Behan — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Though I loved gifts under the tree as much as the next kid, there was something extra special about tearing through my Christmas stocking first thing in the morning (maybe it was that we had to wait until after breakfast to tackle the under-the-tree gifts). If you're looking for something different than the usual green and red felt, Crafty Robot's cheeky monster stocking will certainly add a bit of sparkle to the holiday morning. It comes in two sizes: 21 inches long and 9 inches wide for $60 and 19 inches long, 7 inches wide for $50. The stockings also come in more than one color and fabric, so see Crafty Robot for the details.
