There is just something about personalizing Christmas gifts that makes them even more special. For some reason, it doesn’t matter if you already have ten of the same exact type of item, when you receive one that happens to be personalized, it suddenly becomes extraordinary. One of the most memorable personalized Christmas gifts that I ever received was a customized stocking with my own name on it. While I wasn’t very old when I received the stocking, I remember just how special I felt to have something that had been created just for me. I can actually remember sitting at the edge of the fireplace as a small child, staring up at my very own personalized stocking that hung above the fireplace, and feeling a sense of pride because that stocking made me feel important. Although I still have that special stocking in my box of keepsakes, it no longer hangs from the mantle.
When I started my own family, I decided that it was time to order new, matching personalized stockings as part of my growing family’s Christmas traditions. I have to tell you that I have searched high and low looking for just the right collection of stockings for my family. While I could always go to the big-box store, pick up a few mass produced stockings and a couple of glitter pens and create stockings for everyone in my family, there is just something about unique, handcrafted stockings that sounds so much more appealing.
After talking things over with Mrs. Claus, I discovered some really nice, handmade stockings that she swears will be a hit.
