Thanks so much, everyone! It can be such a pain, trying to order things online. I've always been the sort who preferred to buy things in person so I can be sure of the fit. It's so nice to have a lot of people who can offer reviews and tips for purchases when you're not certain. Gotta love this board! Thanks!

McMurdo & Panache: Ha!! I definitely want to get hubby a sgian dubh and sgian don't. As far as hats, I'm determined to get him a balmoral someday, even if he claims he isn't into hats and probably wouldn't wear one. Definitely a walking stick, as well as some nice hiking boots and other comfy-but-nice shoes for kilted walks!

kscaddo: I'm hoping we can make it to NTIF. I'm crossing my fingers for Saturday, but still haven't chatted with Christopher to see if we are free that weekend and which day we should go. I'm not sure if you've seen the thread, but I have posted one in the events section to see who all is going. Here it is.
