Hang your stockings from the mantel or shelf, on a wall, up the stairs — just about anywhere!

Maybe that's why finding the perfect festive details — from cute and functional Christmas card holders to whimsical reusable advent calendars to, yes, stylish stocking holders — is so deeply delightful. They become part of your family holiday repertoire. When the time comes around (usually right after Thanksgiving) to bring out that box labeled "Christmas decorations" you get an instant hit of holiday cheer before you even open the lid.

To find the best stocking holders you'll enjoy for years — maybe even decades — there are a few things to consider. Before you add to cart, ask yourself these questions:

With that decided — it's time to shop! Find your new favorite way to hang Christmas stockings with care and style below.

Each of the four gold (pictured) or silver holders in this set features an iconic Christmas symbol — a tree, a snowflake, a wreath, and a Santa hat — and holds up to 10 pounds.

The best minimalist design manages to be simple and eye-catching at the same time. That's the deal with this triangle Christmas tree that will look like a mini modernist sculpture sitting on top of a mantel or a shelf. If you want to dress it up a little, add a tiny ornament from the hook at the top.

Make sure you call "Keepsies!" before the kiddos pick which of the seven figures they want (Santa, an angel, a snowman, a reindeer, a Christmas tree, a stocking, a gingerbread man, and a star) to squelch any arguing over who gets what next year. Each can hold five pounds of gifts.

Even more endearing than this angel's charming antique brass finish is that it lets you play Christmas angel: fifty percent of the purchase price will go to St. Jude Children's Research Center.

No fireplace? No problemo. These bendable ties are perfect for hanging stockings from the banister or around the rods of a staircase.

Make this standout the star of your holiday mantelpiece decor and you won't need much else. The weighted marble counteracts tipping and can hold up to 2 pounds.

You'd love custom holders, but who has time to DIY? These handmade stocking holders can be personalized with each family member's name and you get to pick the wood finish and bow color. The Etsy seller sources and cuts the wood, stains (or paints) it, and adds letters by painting or using vinyl.

If you're the kind of holiday decorator who always says, Hmm, needs more lights, then this set of two LED-lit stocking holders, one Christmas tree and one star, is just the thing. (You'll need two double-A batteries which are not included.)

You may have seen these types of hooks used to hold handbags at tables when you're out to dinner or brunch. Now, you can use them for your mantle or shelf to hang your family stockings this holiday season.

The antique brass finish of this nutcracker gives it a nostalgic yet chic vibe. The lux marble base is weighted for stability.

Standing at 9-inches tall, we love these candy cane stocking holders for their drama. Each is able to hold 10 pounds and can fit most mantles.

Hark, the decorating angels have found your forever holder and it's this chestnut wood box with metal hooks. It can be personalized with your family name, a special quote, or even a Christmas greeting and updated whenever you want by changing up the greenery, ornaments, and decorations you dress it up with. Choose from varying widths with different numbers of hooks.

No mantle or stairs? Featuring an on-the-nose message that reads "and the stockings were hung" this sign can be installed on any wall in your home. (Place where the studs are for maximum stability.) Five hooks are included, but you can ask the Etsy seller for more or less.

These have the homey elegance you'd expect to find at a fancy ski resort. No wonder "Aspen" is in its name. Choose from various color combinations, and personalize with your family member's name to create a unique piece for everyone.

The dimensions of this free-standing wooden stocking hanger (33 inches tall, 10 inches deep, and 26.75 inches wide) make it the perfect fit for in front of a fireplace with no mantelpiece—but really, you can place it anywhere in your home. You can hang up too five stockings from it using the included detachable hooks.

We love anything and everything that comes from Studio McGee. The beloved design company collaborated with Threshold on these lovely stocking holders that feature branch-like antlers.

These sturdy stocking holders, good for staircases or any flat surface, add a quiet rustic touch. Each metal stocking hanger is handcrafted, powder coated, and available in brass or chrome finishes as well as black (pictured).

This stocking holder will be a welcome addition to the mantle for Star Wars fans! It reads "Merry force be with you" and features baby Yoda, also known as "the child."
