I absolutely love the stockings in #3, but can't get behind the price. We have stockings from years ago that are gorgeous-and were under $20! Since our family rule is "stocking stuffers" are under 20, I can't justify spending more (especially when handmade items are so affordable!)
The stockings in the first photo are super cool! Maybe next year when I have more time (no finals for once) I'll remember this and make my own :)
I bought some from an etsy seller and LOVE the quality. She was fast, and the stockings are perfect. Be sure to check the sections on the right for all her selections.
