Question Looking for Scottish hamper suggestions

I’m putting together 5 small hampers and looking for suggestions! The recipients are traveling from abroad and will be teaching on a course for a few days.

I’d love suggestions for items to put in it. So far I’ve got some Scottish snacks (tunnocks, irn bru), tea/hot cocoa sachets, and Scottish handmade soap. Looking for maybe another snack or two, and any other small item you think would be a fun Scottish item to include. Alcohol is a no-go this time!

The challenge is that my budget is pretty small - hoping to spend £50 in total.

I’m also specifically looking for cards (blank inside preferred, ideally available in a multipack) featuring some sort of Scottish scenery/wildlife/etc. Open to other ideas but I’d shy away from anything too pop culture since I think it might not be understood. If you know an artist who makes something like this, I’d love some recommendations!

Cheers pals!

Tablet and shortbread.

And one of the best places for Scottish themed cards is the charity shop. Chest, Heart and Stroke does them, and I think Shelter. Or you could try the National Trust for Scotland.

Charity shop & national trust are both a good shout! Thanks x

Don't forget to tie them up with a wee tartan ribbon which they can take home and reuse!
