Children, and those young at heart, have for centuries hung their Christmas stockings by the fire with care hoping that St. Nick would soon be there to stuff the holiday stockings with sweet surprises. Whether your taste is for a simple red Christmas stocking, a plush Christmas stocking, a personalized Christmas stocking, or a baby's first Christmas stocking, you can pick from many pet stocking styles including dog stockings or cat stockings. Bronner's has a wide selection of Christmas stocking holders too. And don't forget a baby Christmas stocking and Christmas stocking hanger for any new little ones! Personalized stockings are always a favorite and no one forgets whose is whose!
In North America, the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings over the fireplace began near the end of the 19th century. An illustrator named Thomas Nast, made famous for his political cartoons, first portrayed a jolly, rotund, red-nosed St. Nick placing goodies into stockings warmed over the fire. Since then placing stockings over the fireplace has become a heartwarming tradition.
Bronner’s offers numerous styles online and at our Frankenmuth store ranging from a classic snowman scene to a child’s favorite licensed character. We’re certain to carry a stocking to please everyone on your list, even dog Christmas stockings for family’s best friend. We even offer personalization on select stockings -- perfect monogrammed stockings. Embroidered stockings look more elegant (and less messy) than glitter and glue. Look no further than Bronner's for the solution for personalized Christmas stockings!
Christmas stocking hangers have become popular as a means of hanging Christmas stockings over a fireplace or mantle. Masterfully crafted and superbly detailed, stocking hangers are unique additions to any Christmas décor. Bronner's is pleased to present several stocking holders in hopes that this beautiful tradition will continue for generations.
But stockings don’t have to stay on a fireplace mantle! Many professional decorators, and those with homes lacking fireplaces, have found clever and stylish places to display their stockings. How about a Christmas stocking holder on the bookshelf right next to Clement Moore's The Night Before Christmas? Stockings tied to the back of dining room chairs create inviting, unique "place cards" that guests are sure to cherish. Other great places to display stockings are along stair rails, headboards and footboards of beds, door knobs, and even on Christmas trees! Whether you’ve been hanging stockings for years or would like to begin the tradition, Bronner’s has the perfect stocking for you! Ranging from classic to modern, whimsical to elegant, our quality stockings make gifts that are appreciated by people of all ages.
