Bring Whimsical Charm to the Holidays

1. Frame Your Fireplace with Natural Botanical Garlands

The classic fireplace mantel is the natural habitat for Eric the Hare, Eugene the Moose, Eloise the fox, and the rest of the E+E family. To let their antique gold finish pop, pair them with rich botanical textures. 

 - Layer Greenery: Start with a thick base of fresh or high-quality faux pine, cedar, or eucalyptus garland draped across your mantel. 

 - Add Depth: Nestled into the branches, place your E+E stocking holders so their weighted bases stay firm while their detailed faces peek out from the greenery. 

 - Soft Lighting: Weave delicate warm-white fairy lights through the leaves to illuminate the metallic detail of each character during cozy winter evenings. 

2. Style Open Shelves or a Holiday Console Table

Don't have a traditional fireplace? No problem! The weighted base of the E+E stocking holders makes them sturdy enough to display across open built-in shelves, bookcases, sideboards, or entryway console tables. 

 - Create Vertical Interest: Mix your stocking holders alongside vintage leather-bound books, brass candleholders, and small potted pine trees. 

 - Hang Mini Accent Stockings: Use the hooks for lightweight knit stockings, holiday greenery sprigs, or decorative wooden tags to turn a bookcase into an unexpected holiday feature wall. 

 - Stagger Heights: Pair taller figures like Frankie the Stag or Emerson the Pheasant alongside compact friends like Louie the Mouse or Charlie the duck for balanced visual contrast. 

2. Create a Whimsical Dining Table Centerpiece

Take your stocking holders off the mantel and bring them straight to the center of your holiday feast! Because the E+E characters are fully finished 360-degree sculptures with weighted bases, they make striking conversation starters down the middle of a dining table. 

 - Build a Table Runner Base: Lay down a textured linen runner and weave fresh eucalyptus, cedar branches, or velvet ribbon down the center. 

 - Cluster the Characters: Group 3 to 4 stocking holders at varying heights along the foliage instead of lining them up straight. 

 - Add Mood Lighting & Accents: Nestle tall brass taper candleholders, pine cones, and glass votives between the character. The warm candlelight will reflect off their antique gold finish while guests enjoy dinner!
