if you put up a stocking please come in

theworms

so, every year i put up stockings and when i fill DH's and Oreo's they get so heavy they fall down

i have pretty heavy stocking holders but they still fall down.  i don't remember where i got the holders.  i've tried putting less in the stocking for buying lighter things but they still get too heavy at some point

any suggestions for better holders or ways to keep them from falling down? 

thanks

I tie ours to our stair railing so they stay pretty well.

So my suggestions would be rope or duct tape!

I had to ix-nay the cute holders that stand up and go with standard mantle hooks. These seem to work better.  Plus, just buy less ***

Place one or two of those command strips, that don't leave residue when you remove them, underneath the holder.  That's what I do.

My rule is always buy more, not less!!!

i have not found a way to fix this either.  I usually just don't put things in the stocking until xmas eve and then just put it under the tree on somewhere safe so it doesn't fall.

I ended up doing this last year too.  I was constantly having the same problem with the stockings falling.  And the kitty was trying to get into her's when it fell

Growing up we sat in the same spots every year to open present. Actually we stood do! My mom would put our stockings on our seat. 

 

Dh and I do this too. We fill on christmas eve right before bed and put out. The puppies we put on the kitchen table so there isn't a treat binge over night

DH's solution to everything:

a staple gun!

DH & I hang them from a shelf, and stocking holders kept falling, so we just used a paperclip and wrapped it around the spindle on the shelf, and that sucker held awesome!! LOL

This is what we got.  It fits tightly to the mantel and kept our stockings up really great.  Ours are heavy too.  They aren't cute or anything, but they work and I don't think they look that bad.  I think we got them at Target.

In our townhouse DH & I's are actually hanging on the wall with just a push pin right now (and they each have a wrapped ornament from my parents in them.  But come Christmas eve when we fill them to each other we will just take them down and lean them against the TV stand.  I like the idea of the 3M Command hooks.  Those things are STRONG!  I may need to try that!

Wish I could offer advice here... but Santa still fills our stockings Christmas Eve and then lays them under the tree.

I don't remember what my parents did, but ours were always pretty heavy, but they didn't get filled till the night before. I know they never fell.

DH and I don't do stockings. We don't even have a fireplace, so not sure where I would even put them.

My DH did use the command strips for his curatins and they worked for years. They have been coming off this last year slowly, but I think they were up for 8 plus years since I didn't put them up.

We hang ours up until Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Morning they are all laying out next to each other up against the chest of drawers we have in the Living Room. My mom used to do this so I've continued. Lola's we keep on top of the drawers. 

We dont hang them on the mantel because the fire place is in a different room .

So I dont have a suggestion...just a thought on what we do!

This is what I do as well.
