Thursday, a Christmas stocking, and Etsy

When I was little, my favorite part of Christmas morning was going through my stocking. I loved that it was filled with treasures in miniature and chocolate and especially girly trinkets. Of course opening presents was a huge thrill too, but I always grabbed the stocking first....

This Thursday and Etsy comes just in time for the big day- a collection of Christmas stocking stuffers that is sure to brighten the morning!

To start - the stocking itself - there are so many fantastic stockings out there, but I am especially fond of these numbers- the Peekaboo and the Retro Santa. I can just imagine them brimming with treats.

These finger puppets will be right at home inside any stocking:

For the boys- what could be better than the superhero version of yourself?

Fingers crossed that I find a stocking even half as cool on my mantel this Christmas!
