If you are mantle-less, try door knobs or the backs of diningroom chairs. Anything will work, really! Have fun with it. Like Valerie, we have the lovely stocking weights from Lee Valley.

As kids, we simply stuck them to the couch with pins (they sometimes ended up just sitting on the couch once filled). Alas, no good with a leather couch (not sure if yours is cloth?).
