Top Picks for Gifts This Mother's Day
Tartan Plus Tweed Events Fashion Gifts Mothers Day
So here are my top picks for useful gifts this Mothering Sunday:
- Harris Tweed Bags that are perfect for busy mums.
While we would all love to carry around dainty handbags and travel lightly, that’s not always a reality for busy mums. For me, handbags, and backpacks, now need to be able to hold all of my essentials and all of my toddlers essentials too. It needs extra space for water bottles, nappies, extra layers, and snacks too! The harris Tweed Dual Strap Satchel bag or the Harris Tweed Spey Bag are great bags for busy mums. Both bags have a quick grab handle, but a practical shoulder strap as well. The shoulder strap is long enough for the bags to be cross body bags too. And inside there is plenty of space for everything you need to bring along with you.

Popular Tartans - Royal Stewart and Black Watch Tartans
Tartan Plus Tweed Tartan
For generations, tartan has been symbolic of Scotland. There are thousands of clan tartans, district tartans, royal tartans, modern tartans, and so on. These have all developed through years of tradition, years of fashion, and years of commercialisation. Tartans can be designed for events, like the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2014 Ryder Cup. Tartans are also designed for those that have emigrated across the world but still identify themselves as Scottish, like the Patriot Tartan. Tartans have also been designed for the military, for Royals, and each state and territory within the United States and Canada, and for many more reasons. But how, out of all these tartans, do we pick one? And how does one triumph over another?
St Andrews Day – Scotland’s National Day
Tartan Plus Tweed Events Scottish Traditions
St. Andrew’s Day (or in Scottish Gaelic ‘Là Naomh Anndrais’), marks the country’s patron saint and occurs every year on November 30th. Many Countries have a patron saint. England has St George, Wales has St David, and Ireland has St Patrick. These patron saints have generally been chosen because each country shares a significant connection with that saint.
