She LOVES scarves. Does anyone know of a Scottish store online? A scarf with a fun print would be great.

Try searching for stuff on E-bay. Things may be more personal and you may find some interesting items....A Scottish scarf "print" will be a tartan plaid. Our families' is a yellow and black plaid.

www.scotchcorner.com has Mackintosh silk scarves in his tulip print ($32 plus shipping).

http://www.rampantscotland.com/ has a good link to Scottish stores.

fyi: The Metropolitan Museum shop has beautiful scarves; although, they no longer stock Mackintosh.

Thanks Wednesday. Thats what I was looking for.
What about London? She loves pajamas so I thought about getting her some with Big Ben or something printed on them.
Cheesy I know but I don't care.

Musically, Texas would be good, or if she's into real alternative stuff see if you can get something by Belle & Sebastian.

You could get the "Scotsman" calendar - usually available through the scotsman.com website.

Buttery Scottish shortbread is an idea. I've often thought Scottish shortbread and a bottle of Scotch is just about as good a present as you could receive.

And if you buy her etartan warn her that if she wears it here, she will be run out of town on a rail if she calls it plaid.

She will probably get Scotland related paraphernalia while she is there. Why not get her a really good map of the area she'll be going to? Or send her a link to Fodors?
