Can each custom Christmas stocking carry a different family name?

Yes. Every stocking is designed on its own, so a family set is one stocking per person, each with its own name, and the proof shows each one before anything is made. Keep the same fabric and lettering across the set and the stockings hang as a matching row.

Which Christmas stocking suits a full family photo?

The polyester Christmas sock has a smooth face that takes a full photo well, and the stockings with colour bonded into the fabric suit an edge-to-edge picture too. On linen and flannel, a name or a bold portrait reads better than a busy scene full of fine detail.

Is there a Christmas stocking for a dog or a cat?

Yes. The Christmas stocking with the paw is the one made for a pet, with room for the pet's name or photo. The plain Christmas stockings work for a pet too if you would rather leave the paw off.

Should I pick the linen or the flannel Christmas stocking?

Choose by the look on the mantel. Linen gives a flat, natural weave with a rustic feel, and flannel is a soft, brushed cloth with a cosier one. Both carry a pressed film transfer, so a name comes out crisp on either.

Where should the name sit on a custom Christmas stocking?

Near the top, where it stays visible once the stocking is full and hanging. Use large, simple lettering rather than a thin script, and check the proof to see that the name sits clear of the edges.

Custom Christmas Stockings With Your Photo or Name

Custom Christmas stockings put a name, a photo or a short line on the stocking that hangs by the fireplace, one for each person in the family and one for the dog or cat.

Printed

The shelf holds a plain Christmas stocking, Christmas stockings in a second listing, a Christmas stocking in linen, Christmas stockings in flannel, a polyester Christmas sock, a Santa stocking, and a Christmas stocking with a paw for a pet. Names and photos go on in two ways: some stockings carry a printed film transfer pressed onto the fabric, and others carry colour that bonds into the fabric itself. Prices run £13.77–£22.96 depending on the stocking. Upload a photo or add a note with each name; we design the stocking and email you a proof. Nothing is made until you approve that proof, so every spelling in the family, from a grandparent to a new baby, gets checked first.

Linen, flannel, polyester or a Santa stocking

The fabric sets the look. The linen stocking and the flannel stockings bring a textured, homely cloth to the mantel, and the polyester Christmas sock has a smooth face that takes a full photograph well. The plain Christmas stocking listings and the Santa stocking round out the set, and the paw stocking is the one made for a pet.

Two methods carry the design. The linen, flannel, polyester and paw stockings take a printed film transfer pressed onto the fabric, which the guide to printed film transfers on fabric covers, including why the finest hairlines read a little heavier. The plain stockings and the Santa stocking take colour that bonds into the fabric, explained in the guide to colour that bonds into the material, which suits a picture running edge to edge.

Stockings with the rest of the Christmas set

A row of named stockings is the start of a family set. Custom ornaments put the same names or photos on the tree, a custom blanket or custom throw pillows carry a family photo on the sofa, and custom mugs take care of Christmas morning. Send the same photo further with custom greeting cards.
