Christmas Stocking with Two Jingle Bells 44cm - Red & White

This red Christmas stocking with two jingle bells brings a cheerful, traditional look to the mantelpiece in the weeks before the big day. The foot and leg are a bright, rich red with a soft pile, topped with a wide, fluffy white cuff that folds over at the top. Two shiny red jingle bells hang on fine red ribbons from just below the cuff, so the stocking gives a gentle jingle whenever it is moved or filled. It measures 44cm tall, 31.5cm across at its widest and 5cm deep, a generous size that holds a good handful of small presents and treats.

Hang it from the mantelpiece, a bannister, a door handle or a hook at the end of the bed, and it is ready for the oldest Christmas ritual of all: a filled stocking waiting on Christmas morning. The red and white colouring sits happily with traditional decorations, from tartan ribbon and fresh greenery to gold baubles and fairy lights. It looks just as at home in a modern living room as in a country kitchen dressed for the season. Because it is a classic design rather than a novelty one, it will come out year after year without looking dated, and the bells add a little sound to the moment it is lifted down.

A loop at the top of the cuff lets it hang from a single hook or peg, and the stocking folds flat for storage once the season is over. To keep it looking its best, give it a gentle shake and brush the pile lightly with a soft dry cloth. Store it loosely folded somewhere dry so the cuff stays full. For a festive gift, fill it with chocolates, a small book and a few wrapped surprises, then hand it over as it is: the stocking becomes the wrapping.
