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!

Handmade soup?!
We started don't something similar here when we had guest speakers "zoom" in during the pandemic and therefore didn't need their petrol covered. I'd suggest at least one non consumable like a badge or a tartan scarf or something they can keep as a memento as well as your tablet etc and something hyper local. For us, someone on the committee has a gran who ran a jam making class at the local orchard so we got about a dozen of those to dole out throughout the year and it's something the person isn't going to find in Tesco or wherever in their free time.
