Celebrity Stockings

Be it Lil Wayne, Audrey Tautou, Betty Draper, Tilda Swinton, Patty and Selma, or Bo the White House Dog – our writers have collectively put together stockings for the celebrities from a variety of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal’s top boutiques down to last minute cheapies at your local Shoppers Drug Mart. Whether you are looking for gifts for your bf, little sister, mischievous mutt or Mom – you will find the very best and least suspect array of offerings in each of our long socks. (even though technically they may not fit)

Have you been naughty or nice? We don’t care, because either way you will surely find some items to add to your wish list before sending to Old Saint Nick or Jewish Mom. New stockings will go up every day, so check back for new inspirations, laughs and warm fuzzies. Happy Holidays to ALL and to all a kickass night!
