Kilt Related Christmas Gifts?

[Sherry]

My oldest was pleasantly surprised to receive his Nightstalker. He was definitely not expecting it. It fits him very well, tho' the apron does need to be re-pressed into an A-line on the left side, as has been discussed on this forum before. He doesn't want me to hem it, but I think it could use at least a 1/2" turn up.

He's not wearing it now because he's gone off to spend the rest of the week at the lake with my father. That should tell you how nice our weather has been.

Although it wasn't given to me for Christmas, but rather purchased today at after Christmas prices, I got this cute little Santa from Kohl's:



We've decided to name him Hamish McClaus.

Too fun. My partner got me this same Santa at Kohl's the day after T'Giving and it sits on my desk now as my "Christmas" decoration.

Kohl's Rocks! They should just carry Scott8ish clothing.

...and I went on for a while on this topic, ending by saying that only a piper would wear white hose. Then I opened up the second pair of white hose. Looks like I'll be taking up the pipes, I declared.

OUCH!

Good recovery, though.

Let's see, my wife got me

• a Black Watch kilt from Heritage of Scotland
• a navy Jacobite shirt
• a sporran
• a sporran chain
• a new pair of off-white kilt hose
• a kilt belt with buckle - nice little thistle emblem on the buckle.

Yeah, I cleaned up. And the best part is that I didn't spend any money from my kilt fund for Christmas (I was going to buy myself a Stillwater Black Watch) and now I can save up for another one... thinking about the UK Survival kilt.

Though I could also use a brown sporran now that I have two black ones... oh, the choices we kilted folk face.

I also got a new Notre Dame fleece sweatshirt that looks great with the new kilt and will definitely get worn to watch the Fightin' Irish beat up on the Bugeyes (as will the kilt).

Also got a nice Guinness Rugby shirt from my brother - which looks nice with a kilt. It was a good holiday, I must say.

Got some pajama pants (don't know what they are really called) in blackwatch, is that close enough? They are flannel and much nicer around the house than sweat pants.
Bought myself a kilt, already discussed her, not delivered yet. Did get the two pair of plain flashes, blue & green.

My kids made my wife get this for me as well.

I also received a Brown Buzz Kidder Country Sporran. Some basic leather working tools to dabble in belt,sporran strap and sporran making. And the Kilt hose my wife confiscated before christmas reappeared under the tree! Before christmas I picked up eight yards of a nice plaid flannel to try and build my own pajama kilt.

It's kind of kilt-related. My honey just gave me a belated christmas gift of 3 bottles of 12 year old single malt Balvenie.

I didn't get any kilt related gifts per say (well except for the new kilt, hose, and flashes that arrived a few days before Christmas), but I did get a couple of cool things.

- A celtic ring (the inside knotwork actually spins seperately from the base of the ring.
- a Clan MacKenzie coffee mug (from the London bridge in Arizona) and a Clan MacKenzie mouse pad.
- tickets to Robbie Burn's night
- a dart board for the pub
- several yards of fabric for kilt making (practise for using Barb's book). I got about 6.5 yards of Gordon, 6.5 yards of Grey tweed, and a couple of yards of Royal Stewart that may be good for a kid's kilt.
- and a bottle of Laphroaig 10 year

That's about all I can really think right now.

Sounds like everyone did really well! I got three pairs of hiking socks to wear with my kilts and boots. I also got a little ornament in my stocking of a Santa wearing a kilt. The back of the kilt is hinged, and when you lift it up, he's wearing Christmas coloured underwear!

Not directly related, but the day after Boxing Day my daughter and I got matching tattoos together - Scottish thistles!

It's kind of kilt-related. My honey just gave me a belated christmas gift of 3 bottles of 12 year old single malt Balvenie.

It's not Balvenie, but my sister-in-law got me a bottle of 12 year old Chivas Regal. I'm sitting here sipping on a generous glass now.
