Can anyone recommend a place to buy personalised christmas stockings for my boys ;D I'm looking for fabric (felt, velvet whatever but not knitted) and want their names on the top. Ideally I'd like diff colours (red and green) so would be nice if available in different colours but that's not a deal breaker.
-
I got two personalised ones last year from a lady on Folksy.com. I'll see if I can dig out her details - they're lovely quality. Sad of course that Tinks' stocking will be empty this year.
-
I think this is the one - different site, but same stockings and price

ooh those look good ;D Thanks.
I always hang a little something on the christmas tree for Magpie and now for Jaffa. feels right to buy them something at christmas even though they're not here :-[
Mosi and Kito are going to be spoiled rotten this year (what's new :innocent:)
-
I might do that too. :)
-
Thats a lovely idea and may also do that but forgot to look how big they are.
Feeling all in a flood at moment as been trying to get Rainbow Bridge ready....................words are just so dam hard :(
-
Gill. :hug:
The stockings aren't small. If that helps.....
-
Yes that helps cos only a small tree................guess they dont have to go on the tree tho!
Thinkin thinkin thinkin...........too hard for me lol
-
I won a couple of personalised stockings on on of the early Purrs auctions. I wish I could remember who made them. The names were sewn on with sequins.
Will see if I can find anything in my old emails
-
There'll be loads of stuff on Etsy, probably baubles as well.
-
Have ordered but most have gone now unless you like green!
-
I'm going to miss the boat if I don't get a move on. must order some this weekend. I really wanted one in red and one in green but most places don't do different colours. I wanted Kito's in green to match his eyes :-:
-
Thanks for posting Susanne cos realized last night that I was one short!
They dont do all green nbut some have green tops but the site is not up todate and you need to ring them.
They were expecting their new website to be working for Chrissy but its not ready!
-
Hope you get the ones you want Susanne. I must've timed it well as I managed to get the two I liked. they arrived quickly too. They're adorable.
-
Got two personalised baubles for Ross and Tinks. :Luv:
-
I ordered the extra one this afternoon but my other order had already gone out. Cant wait to get them ;D ;D

Nic I got mine from ebay - a seller called hickory-dickory-crafts

I was very pleased with them.
-
Are the baubles real glass? ie easily breakable.
-
No, these particular ones are shatterproof.
-
Fab! Thanks Sue. I've ordered them ;D
-
No, these particular ones are shatterproof.
That's good to know!
-
I have ordered the stockings :) They are both the same and both have red and green on them.
I had a conversation with a non catty friend at the weekend. It went something like this
Me: I'm trying to buy christmas stockings for the boys with their names on but can't find exactly what I'm looking for
Friend: - oh... (expression said "are you insane?")
Me: They need to have their stockings as they have a joint main present so this is for all the little toys and treats...
Friend: Erm, does Mosi not already have one then?
Me: well sort of - he's had various stockings in the past but he doesn't have one with his name on
Friend: well can't you just get one for Kito. Mosi won't know he doesn't have his name on his..
I mean, honestly - you lot understand, don't you? of course Mosi would know :shify: but more importantly I would know. Can't be favouring one of my boys now can I?
This was after I'd told her how much I'd spent on a new cat tree for them plus a big zooplus order (big cos it included litter and some xmas pressies)
There's a sort of blank look you get when you talk to non cat people isn't there? I find myself in mid conversation then realise I'm not talking to you lot and other people are just not feeling the love.
-
Absolutely, Susanne. They just don't get it. Someone suggested I could reuse Tinks very own stocking, but of course I can't. :-:
-
Yes we know lol and have just bought 6 stockings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have 5 today but the other will probably arrive tomorrow. All have the names and far too big for the tree but will hang some where ;D ;D
I still looking for the right tree for the kitchen because Lupin is so long and he likes to sleep on the pile of carpet tiles which are 50 x 50 cms! I want those tiles on the floor but cant do it until I get a tree.
-
Oh Susanne, that made me laugh so much.
We've all been there haven't we? Thank goodness for Purrs!
I'm fretting because when mine arrived, Beaus is slightly smaller than Chesters!
I've turned OH mad too, I showed him & he said "do you think Beau will notice?" And he wasn't kidding ;D
I'm worse than you, I need to remind myself that when non cat loving colleagues ask how the kittens are, they're just being polite.
They don't actually want me to describe Chesters poo!
-
Yes, I'd have asked the same question as your OH. And then would probably maybe stick an extra pressie in Beau's stocking just to make up the difference. ;) :hug:
Gill, you got six stockings? Bless ya. :hug: :hug:
-
Beau will get a little something extra to make up for his stocking being a tad smaller ;)
Got to be careful of their feelings. Its bad enough that my vet was comparing their "christmas baubles" on friday nights visit and commenting on how much smaller Beaus were :rofl: Don't want him getting a complex :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: No, indeed not.
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Honesetly, poor Beau, the vet was trying so hard to find them, Beau was wriggling and my OH was going "Could he be a girl?!"
The vet then went "Ohhh, well there's his penis!!" and "he's obviously a slow bloomer, but there's definitely a penis"
OH then said "but should he have tow veg by now?" with this sad look on his face
Men :rofl: :rofl:
-
bless him, they do take it personally! I remember, 20 odd years ago people so don't jump on me, I had to work very hard getting oh to neuter bluto our little handreared feral oh had only had girls before that and felt terrible taking away the boys bits!
-
Dawn, blokes always take it harder to know their boy cats have to have their pom poms off. ;) :hug:
-
They are pathetic............no wonder the world is over populated!
-
I'm afraid I don't go to the lengths many of you do :-[ Alfs and Cleo will get something on Christmas Day but not much and they will have a nice variety of their usual food.
I have bought 4 of the baubles though, one each for Alf and Cleo, one each for Punky and Chivers, my bridge babies.
-
I love the baubles. I want to get another two for Paddy and Mac, and a different one for Tess. :Luv:
-
The baubles are lovely but too big for my little tree. Might not even put baubles on at all this year due to a certain kitten.
-
Susanne, I'm planning to hang our personalized baubles from two scrolls on our light fittings, just to keep them safe. :hug:
-
Got 6th stocking today ;D ;D
Dont know where I am going to put them yet and dont usually do anything much for the cats but have a number of new toys never opened :shify:
I want to get one of those beetle things with legs for Lupin but cant remember which thread the link was on..................hulp!
-
what beettle thing? do you mean the attachment that I posted about? If so it's called neko flies.
-
It might be but you gave a link?
-
This?

I didn't buy from the link in there btw. I bought from a cat show but want to buy another one for Kito for christmas. not sure yet where I'll buy it from.
