Personalised gift idea
Personalised Christmas stocking
A stocking with a name stitched or printed on the cuff — for children, babies’ first Christmas, and the dog.

Illustration onlyChristmas stocking: a simple drawing to help you picture short or long wording — not a seller’s product, font or layout. Real items vary, so always check the seller’s own preview or proof. What you type isn’t stored.
About this idea
Name stockings get brought out every year, which makes them a lovely first-Christmas gift. Knitted, felt, velvet and hessian styles are all common; names are embroidered, appliquéd or printed.
Pet stockings with a paw print are popular too.
Who it suits
Children, new babies, families and pets.
Ordering in time
Stocking sellers are at their busiest from autumn; order early for Christmas.
Before you order
- Check the size — some are decorative, some fit real presents.
- Embroidered names last longer than printed vinyl.
- Order matching ones for siblings at the same time.
