ktgrok Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 For the past 10 years we had a fireplace with a mantel - very unusual for Florida. But now we don't..and I want to display our stockings. I sewed them myself, and DH really loves seeing them up. However, he's NOT a fan of putting extra holes in the wall right now (just fnished patching and painting the old house a day ago, lol). So the cute signs with hooks are not going to fly I don't think. I bought the heavy individual holders with hooks to sit on the bar top or book shelves, but now I'm worried about a cat somehow getting hold of one and pulling it down on themselves or a kid doing it and getting hurt. (still in package, can return). So I ordered this to be picked up today, it's sort of cute. I'd need two more hooks (6 people plus one for the dogs and one for the cats), but it looks like any kind of S shaped shower curtain hook would work - I'd just get a pack so they all match. Anyone have something like this? It is half the price of the heavy things, which is also nice and I have some blank wall space where we will be putting an antique desk from my mom, but she hasn't given it to us yet and may not before Xmas. If she does, I have other spots as well, in the family room or whatever. I can cancel order if y'all give me a better idea. (so will return either the heavy things, or this) Or..I thought about making something, but honestly, but they time I make it out of wood or PVC (I love building with PVC, lol) and decorate it it probaby won't be cheaper than the $20 for this stand, lol. Any other thoughts? Someone said an over the door robe hanger thing, but no doors in this area really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Oh I love that! I am ordering it now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Another option is on command hooks up the stair rail. Especially cute under lighted garland up the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That’s a really cute stand! I would keep it since you have the space, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I agree with your concerns about the heavy things. The stand would have eight stockings? I think they'd be hard to see. Regarding holes in the wall. We have some nails that were originally for Christmas stuff and I just make a point of using them for other things the rest of the year.

I also do not trust command strips to not take paint off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Ugh! BB&B canceled my pick up order. They are out. I can order one similar from Amazon to be delivered later this week, or make something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksr5377 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 When we lived in a home with no good location for stockings we hung them on bedroom doorknobs as decor. When they were filled on Christmas Even, Santa took them down and lined them up on the couch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 I could do this,maybe? https://www.amazon.com/Standing-Modern-Stainless-Freestanding-DECLUTTR/dp/B089LK1J1S/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=towel+stand&qid=1638200410&sr=8-11 Maybe wrap some garland around it to make more festive?

MEmama Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Do you have a bookcase where you can put the heavy individual holders? Either on a shelf of the bookcase or on top? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 2dd has a knee wall between her dining room and main room - she hangs her's there. She also loves command hooks, even on her rough walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
