I bought these for my two grandchildren as the names linked to the tartans and motto are family names. One of the children is studying islands and weather by using Katie Morag and the Isle of Struan. Looking at tartans is part of their artwork, so I thought, being a retired teacher, that these Christmas decorations would be an ideal size to pop in her book bag and take to school. I have provided some further information, so she can explain it at school herself. Originally, I had been looking for some fabric or a reasonably priced kilt in the family tartans, but all were too expensive for a ten minute show and tell at school. I spend a fortune on bits for school! They are certainly robust enough for the job they need to do at school, but can also be used as intended at Christmas. It also provided an opportunity to talk about family history and names. I ordered one gingerbread man and a heart, which she loves. So far, a great buy! My only quibble is that the postage was a bit hefty even allowing for tissue paper, the jiffy bag and actual cost. e-bayers would slit your throat and give you a negative response if you made that much profit on postage! Thank you!
