Stocking help

https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/ty275/index.cfm?pkey=gthmoccsto

I'm obsessed with these stockings and want to get different colors for my family.  I'm pretty sure I want mine to be red with white writing because well, I'm the mom! 

I have a DD and a DS on the way.  I can't decide if I should do the boys in green or the kids in the same color. 

I guess my options are:

me and DD = red stocking; DH and DS = green stocking

me = red stocking, DH and DS = green stocking, DD = white stocking

me = red stocking, DD and DS = green or white stocking, DH = G/W (whichever the kids aren't)

Your thoughts??  I know this is really important.  But while they are on sale I am hoping to order so I can force DH's hand about naming DS ;)

  • Definitely your last option!

    The kids should be the same and you and YH can have your own (or at least just matching each other).

  • We have the green/red velvet stockings and what we did was get one color for the adults (red with green cuff) and the other color (green with red cuff) for C.  I picked up a couple extras in the same color as C's on clearance after Christmas last year to put away for future kids.  I also have the smaller ones in both colors (because I ordered the wrong color the first time and didn't feel like returning them) for our cats.

    Is there one color that you like for you and H and another that you'd like for the kids?

  • I like the girls in red and the boys in green. I'm also hoping to buy some PBK stockings. DD's is from last year and says Dana's 1st Christmas.

  • You and DH the same, the kids the other 2 colors.

    And, I would like to say that I used the 'personalization' technique to force DH to agree on my name for DS too!  It worked!  Good luck!  I just ordered some of the quilted stockings today for my fam! 

  • I'd do red for you and DH, and green for the kids.  Or, red for you and DD, and green for DH and DS.
  • I like the idea of getting red for girls and green for boys. That would be my first choice.

  • I think you and DH should be red, Maddy should be white, and DS should be green.
