Dear Santa,

Ok, I've asked for this:

and this:

What kilt-related gifts are YOU hoping for?

**Canadian_Kilt** · 3rd December 06, 08:37 PM

Well I'm sort of 'just starting out' .. so I've asked for pretty much everything ..

Specifically though, a belt, buckle and sgian dubh... and a plaid brooch. Not sure about specifics. Sgian Dubh I was thinking just something nice, but generic, since it's really mostly concealed anyways. Brooch and buckle I was thinking about something with a celtic knot, and then a thistle design for the sporran.

But .. I haven't really found any that I like yet .. and I'm still considering getting one of them in a family crest .. most likely the belt buckle.

I find it hard to ask for kilt-related items unless it's a model-specific item. I hate having to exchange something when I would have chosen a different item myself. Makes me a bear to shop for.

I'd like a nice, well-finished black kilt belt to replace my cheapo with the velcro
and a dressier brown one.

I neither give nor receive Christmas gifts (for many years I have made a donation to my favourite charity instead, and request friends to do the same), so it would be unfair of me to ask Santa for anything. Naturally, I have a "Would Like" list, but that is not Christmas-connected!!

Well my son has a Gordon kilt on his list. I have an inside track with Santa, and word is he has been a good boy. *grins*

I don't ask for gifts for myself. I make baked goods for my friends and family as presents. I also have a hardfast rule to make sure my kids appreciate what they get for Christmas, Whatever I spend on them, we spend the same amount on a charity and/or family in need.

I'm in the same boat as Canadian_Kilt...just getting started. Basically I'd like more kilts (really like swk and utilikilt), and I definitely need a sporran. I discovered on the first time that I wore my kilt that I had no place to put my wallet, keys, etc.

We haven't exchanged gifts @ Christmas in a long time, we also give to charity instead. But for the past 4 months or so I've been working my butt off on overtime and side-projects... so the wife okayed a few extra purchases when I came home with an extra $2500 one day. She got her dishes, I got a USAK Clark kilt, and we both got a camera to take pictures of our first kid when HE gets here... (okay, I don't know baby Dooley's a he yet, but one can hope, right?)... So I guess that would sort of be our Christmas gifts... I can't see us getting anything else.

However, we normally just do a big family dinner @ Christmas and everyone makes and/or brings their favorite Christmas-style dish... I normally make homemade eggnog.

That being said, my parents have asked me several times to show them the "purse-thingy" that I want to go with my kilt (A Buzz Kidder Inverness in brown), so that might end up under my tree... who knows?
