The ones that we've seen at Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn are a little generic, so we decided to check out our online options before venturing into DIY-land. Our internet hunt yielded options that range from conservative to outright hilarious. Like this Deerhead Stocking Hanger from Fine Home Displays.

A cheaper--but still great--option is the simple Christmas Stocking Hook from The Spoon Sisters that balances itself on the edge of a mantle.

Anyone have any other options? Or want to share DIY solutions that will keep our mantles intact?
