Description
This Ravenclaw Christmas stocking wears its house colours proudly. Its deep blue body is clouded like a night sky and scattered with small gold stars. On the front sits the Ravenclaw crest in shiny gold foil: a shield with a bold R, an eagle's head, HOGWARTS across the top and RAVENCLAW on the banner beneath. A black cuff runs across the top, printed in gold with HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT & WIZARDRY and a small eagle emblem ringed by the words WISDOM and LEARNING. Its front reaches 68.1cm at its longest and 36.6cm the other way, and it is 3.5cm deep, so there is plenty of room for presents.
Hang it from a mantelpiece hook, a staircase or a bedroom door on Christmas Eve, and the blue and gold will catch the glow of the tree lights. It brings a touch of the wizarding world to Christmas and sits happily beside a traditional red and green scheme or a cooler blue and silver tree. The Ravenclaw crest and its eagle make the house unmistakable, so it is easy to tell whose stocking is whose when several hang in a row. As a Christmas gift it makes a thoughtful choice, and it can come out again every December.
A gold trim edges the whole stocking. It hangs from a braided gold loop at the top of the cuff, and a long gold tassel falls from the corner. The foil print gives the crest and lettering a shiny finish that shows up well in low evening light. To keep it looking its best, brush away dust with a soft dry cloth and spot clean gently with a damp cloth rather than rubbing the gold print. Fill it with small gifts and sweets, or slip a book into the top, and hang it so the eagle crest faces the room.
