We've scoured Etsy to bring you a delightful selection of whimsical Christmas stockings that will not only warm your heart but also make your mantle the envy of all your guests.

Calling all Lovers of Whimsical Christmas Stockings


Red and green with a touch of white and gold are the traditional Christmas stocking colours. You can keep with tradition, here, but still come up with something in a whimsical vein, or you can step completely "off the bus" and do something different.

William Morris designs are a case in point. Green and gold, yet in a style that few Christmas stocking can match. Fabric choices can also make a difference. Velvet, sequins, and satin combine for an opulent Elf Boot stocking that will have you feeling like you're part of Santa's workshop.

At the other end of the stocking journey... our Luxury Christmas stocking reminds me more of a traditional sweet shop with its striped awning and bright, shouty colours. Definitely a stocking that Santa won't overlook when he stops in.

Elf boots with their curled toes and contrasting cuffs always have a touch of whimsy about them, whether they're stunningly quilted and embroidered and sporting a - very seasonal - poinsettia cuff, constructed from gleaming satin and gold, or showing a peacock's vibrant colours as the three in this selection.

They're also always true showstoppers.

These three are traditional boot-shaped stockings, but oh-so-pretty! Fans of medieval lore as well as little and large children will adore the chance of having a dragon on their Christmas stocking! Our next find is William Morris again, but this time using the Strawberry Thief design to great effect. Finally, what says Christmas more than a whimsical snowman?

Are you singing it yet?
