Gift card and cash holders

Slip in a gift card, cash or a note. It is a ready way to give a small present to teachers, coworkers and neighbors.

Tree ornaments and party favors

Each stocking has a loop, so it hangs on a branch, a wreath or a door handle. Fill them with candy and guests can take one home.

Cutlery holders and place settings

Put the cutlery or a name card inside, and set one at each plate for Christmas dinner.

When you need full size

For stocking stuffers on Christmas morning, use the 17 inch stockings. The family set has four large and four mini stockings.
