Buying answers
What size are the stockings?
Most of our stockings are between 44 cm and 51 cm tall, with openings from 13 cm to 28 cm across, which takes a proper present. The Shetland and Fair Isle knits are the longest at 60 to 62 cm, and the children's character stockings are 40 to 41 cm. The height and width are on every product page.
How is the name added?
Velvet, felt and tartan stockings are embroidered by our embroidery team, so the name is stitched into the cuff rather than printed on. The chunky knit, cable knit, Fair Isle, Shetland, Nordic and Cosy Snowflake designs come with a personalised wooden tag instead. Check the spelling before you order, as personalised stockings cannot be returned unless they are faulty or we have made a mistake.
Is personalisation free?
Yes. The name is included in the price of every personalised stocking, there is no extra charge for adding it.
How many characters can I have?
One name of up to 15 characters per stocking, typed into the name box on the product page exactly as you want it.
Can I buy a matching set for the whole family?
Yes. Add each stocking separately so every one carries its own name and colour. Most of our velvet and knitted designs come in two to five colours, and the character stockings let each child pick a penguin, reindeer, snowman or Santa.
How do I hang stockings without a fireplace hook?
Our stocking holders sit on the mantelpiece or a shelf. They are weighted recycled iron with felt padding underneath, so they hold a filled stocking without tape or nails. Santa's Sleigh is a set of four holders for a family mantelpiece, and the pine cone, tree and reindeer holders are sold singly.
Are the stockings lined?
Our velvet, chunky knit and Nordic stockings are fully lined, and the chunky knit snowflake stockings are fleece lined, so they keep their shape when filled. Each product page says whether a design is lined.
How do I clean a stocking?
Spot clean only. Dab marks with a cool, damp cloth and a little mild detergent, then leave the stocking to dry flat away from radiators and direct heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron, as the lining, embroidery, trims and bells are not made for it. Between Christmases, store it flat or loosely rolled in a dry place with a little tissue inside to keep its shape.
When should I order for Christmas?
Standard delivery is £5.95 and free on orders over £100, and each product page shows its current dispatch time. Order by Sunday 20 December for standard delivery before Christmas. Next working day delivery is available on non-personalised items ordered before 2pm up to Wednesday 23 December. Personalised stockings are made to order and can take up to 4 to 5 working days, so order those by Wednesday 16 December.
