Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A Christmas stocking with a twist, monster claws!
Why we love it:
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with... claws??
Ok, so maybe it's not quite your traditional idyllic Christmas look, but it's not always about the Norman Rockwell Christmas. Sometimes, you just want to have a little fun, and these stockings are definitely fun. Rather than your usual ho-ho-hum red velvet stockings, these resemble something that might be worn by a yuletide monster. There are stockings with short claws, long claws or webbed feet (for the aquatic monsters), you can even order a custom designed monster foot to fill with goodies. With the annual deluge of Christmas-y stuff beginning, it's the unusual that will stand out, and these stockings are definitely unusual. It's a clever gift to fill with treats for all your favorite monsters.
Who we'd give it to:
Kids, quirky humorists, monsters.
