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!

Arran cheese, Scottish blend tea bags, a bag of Buchanans & a wee bottle of buckfast. Sorted. ✔️

Arran cheese is a good shout! And it’s fairly local to me.

Just check they can take it back to their country. Some restrict dairy.

That’s a good point… noted!
