I had a SP send me scraps from her stash which I treasure to this day! She had done a spot of machine embroidery on one and I incorporated it into a crazy quilt. It is the only piece of fabric that I can tell you where I got it! What is a worthless trinket to you is fun for us like a Scottish key chain or fob of some sort!

Picture of a Highland Cow. I got a shock the first time I saw one of those! Something tartan for sure. Something with a Scots Gaelic message?

I love the photo! Your husband is quite handsome but I favor the short fellow in the front row. How about some "Especially Strong Mints"? We do not have them here.

Send something that has meaning to you...I'm sure your SP would love to have something like that...and if you want to send something sewing related send something small that you have created yourself, what a treasure that would be!!

My hubby is Scottish and he looks great in his kilt. For out wedding he had in his brest pocket a handkerchief with a little scottie (dog) embroidered on it. Things like that are cute and not many people here have them. But yes, Europe in general is very expensive for any kind of craft. While living in Italy I had a real sticker shock when I went to a LQS.

If someone would send me one of these, I'd help pay the postage. LOL.

If the person you are buying for has Scotish anstery you could maybe find a small piece of their Tarten. I would love to have even a fat eighth or a fat quarter of our family tarten.
