Christmas Stocking

[aps2012]

This is the first Christmas my wife and are spending together as a married couple. I am planning on putting together a stocking for her and am well on my way with the stuffers. Now I need a stocking.

I was hoping to find something that was just a little special, perhap made in America with some thought. I was hoping you guys may have some thoughts before I entered the scary world that is Etsy.

We just picked up a few of the fur ones from Restoration Hardware. Ladies love fur.

Restoration hardware makes some fantastic stuff. Also consider Pottery Barn. Do you have a parciular style in mind? Rustic? Vintage? Contemporary? How about color pallette? Are you looking for something monogrammed? Neiman Marcus carries a broad selection:

Also, if these are going on a mantle, don't forget some nice hooks.

Also, since it's your first Christmas as a married couple, how about a commemorative tree ornament?

When it comes to crystal, yuo can never go wrong with Waterford. Of course, it's quite pricey, but there are plenty of ornaments out there that share the same sentiment. Lennox makes some more affordable options, as does Waterford through their Marquise line. You can always find Hallmark ornaments, but they can border on "cheesey" quite often.

Darn... I shouldn't have gotten started on Christmas decorating... It's a slippery slope for me.
