    Is there a Chirstmas gift I could get him that is like a symbol of fraternity, friendship, or loyality? I want it to be Scottish somehow.
    SCOTCH!

    I _______ the motion for the Quaich. Why not ALSO give him a small (but good) bottle of Scotch to help break it in?

    I'd go along with the quaich suggestion. A large quaich is a communal drinking cup which is often handed round at burns suppers and other parties in Scotland, but a miniature quaich in pewter or silver plated makes a nice individual present and ornament even if your friend is teetotal.

    And, if you still wanted to go the "honourary clan member" route, many companies sell variations of the traditional quaich with a engraved clan badge at the bottom of the bowl.
