Christmas Stockings + Santa Sacks

Choosing Between a Stocking and a Sack

Some Christmas traditions belong on display, others are made for the big reveal. A Christmas stocking brings a little festive magic to a mantel, bedpost or the end of a bed, making it a lovely tradition for children and grown-ups alike. Santa sacks are right at home beneath the Christmas tree, ready for that special Christmas morning moment. Choose a stocking for little surprises and a decorative touch, or a sack for presenting gifts in a way that feels wonderfully personal. Complete the festive setting with playful Christmas ornaments and baubles, and bring a little extra anticipation to December with one of our advent calendars.

Knitted and Patchwork Stockings

Cover what each construction gives you, the weight and give of a knit against the structure and piecing of patchwork. Name the details rather than staying general, the cuff, the hanging loop, the seams, so a reader can picture the piece before they scroll.
Confirm the fibre composition per style before writing.

Using a Sack Instead of Wrapping Paper

Cover the sack as the wrapping rather than a container for it, how it closes, and what that changes about Christmas morning and the clean up after it. This is the strongest reason to buy one over a roll of paper and the page does not currently make it.
Confirm the closure before writing.

Washing and Storing Between Christmases

Cover spot cleaning and washing, reshaping a knit while it dries, and folding or hanging for storage so the stitching and patchwork hold their shape. These are pieces families bring out for decades, so care is what protects the purchase.
Confirm the care instructions per style before writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Santa Sack hold?

Our Santa sacks are generously sized for Christmas gifting, with room for a mix of presents and festive surprises. The Matilda Santa Sack measures 70 x 55cm, although what fits will depend on the shape and size of your gifts. We recommend checking the dimensions of your chosen design, particularly if you're planning to fill it with larger presents.

How are the stockings hung?

Our Christmas stockings feature hanging details designed for festive display. Knitted styles include a built in hanging loop, while our Magnolia Patchwork Stockings feature a patterned hanging tie. Hang yours from a secure mantel hook, bedpost or decorative fixture, making sure the support is suitable for the stocking's weight once filled.

Are the stockings sold separately or as a set?

Our knitted and patchwork Christmas stockings are sold individually, allowing you to choose your favourite designs or mix and match different styles for the whole family. It's a lovely way to create a collected Christmas look, with a little personality for everyone.

Will the colour fade with use year after year?

With a little care, your Christmas stockings and Santa sacks can remain part of your festive traditions for years to come. To help preserve their colours and decorative finishes, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, follow the individual care instructions and store them somewhere cool and dry between Christmases. Taking care around delicate stitching and embellishments will also help keep each piece looking its best.
