Top 5: Last Minute Gift Ideas
by Nadine Lee
For those of you stuck for Christmas gift ideas, here's a roundup of items over in our store at ScotClans.com that are in stock and ready to ship now! The final cut off date for Royal Mail Airmail is this coming Friday for orders going to Canada, America and Western Europe. However we would highly recommend selecting the FedEx shipping option as Airmail can slow down this close to Christmas. Happy browsing!
1 - Aran Knit Cable Top Hose
Our wonderful hose maker Mrs Allen is retiring and clearing out her stock, so we have a few pairs of these fabulous kilt hose available at a great price. The hose are hand made and of the highest quality - they're guaranteed to keep you warm this winter! Available in cream and black.
2 - Luckenbooth Brooch
One of our favourite items in our store, the Luckenbooth Brooch, so called because of its sale from 'locked booths' on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. These brooches were traditionally gifted by a young man to his betrothed and subsequently pinned to the shawl of the first baby to protect from evil spirits. Made in pewter to a traditional design, this brooch is approx. 41mm high.
3 - Tea Towels
We've got a load of lovely tea towels available in our store, including these clan crest designs that are made right here in Scotland. They're 100% cotton, and would also be ideal for framing or hanging. Check out our complete range by clicking the links below:

If you're after the real thing, we also have this fantastic economy Sgain Dubh available to ship now.
5 - Clan Mini Books
Finally, here's a perfect stocking filler or secret santa gift. These great little books give you a potted history of your clan - illustrated with famous McIan paintings of the highland chiefs.
