That varies, of course, but personally, I love giving a gift that's both unique and practical. That's why at Mood Company, for example, we have baby blankets and hot water bottles from the UK with a Scottish twist.

For us it is nice to give something with a piece of Scottish magic. Sometimes through the use of Harris Tweed or designed by the famous illustrator Catherine Rayner.

I love a gift where the recipient still remembers who gave it to them years later. The Scots are masters at creating a good story. So, give a gift that allows you to tell a story. For example, a special colored or tartan patterned hot water bottle or blanket.
