How about a handsome young man dressed in a quilt and bagpipes?? OPPS-maybe a bit too heavy to send in the mail.

Postcards of your area, town or country, small flag replica would be fun. I recently received a candy bar we can't get in the USA. It was yummy. Even after hardening up from arriving melted, it was great.
i'm thinking of some more things and will post. as you build up your seap box of things to send, you will have time to do more cost effective shopping and get things on sale or find things from thrift shops. ok here's more ideas: scottish plaid pencils/pens magnets tea towels bookmarks a small pkg of those delish cookies a kilt air freshner bagpipes or map of scotland keyring shot glass |

Agreed -- something from Scotland (but not necessarily fabric). I got a coffee mug with a man in a kilt and the black watch plaid -- love it.

I would love anything from Scotland because my Dad's side of the family are Scottish, the McCallums.

I would love a mug rug with one side made of any tartan. Snowballs, and I don't mean the cold ones! I mean the marshmallow ones covered in chocolate and rolled in coconut.

I love the photo - and especially your husband waving wildly at the back; it just makes me smile. My best friend lives in northern England and we exchange gifts at Christmas. I always love any of the following: a coffee mug with scenes of Britain on it, a package of shortbread, a package of "oaties", Cadbury's bar, a small jar of clotted cream, tea towels with cathedrals on them, small jars of salmon spread (I love it and can't get it here), and my favorite fragrance which is only available at Boots. And of course fabulous photos of the family and neighbors in the pub and a view of her garden from the kitchen window. The package is always small and light and every year I'm excited to get it.

And if you have any family recipes that you could share, they would be fun as well.
