I looked EVERYWHERE for interesting, non-cheesy stocking holders to go with my new holiday decor.  I also wanted a little bit of light up there, but there's no outlet and I don't want cords.  So I bought 4 of these-- the ornament, the tree, the snowman, and the present.  They add just the right amount of light to the mantle.  I disagree.  :)  Overall I am very pleased with the purchase.
