I’m planning on surprising my kids and my in-laws with a trip to Scotland! The reveal will happen on Christmas (the trip later next summer). What would be a really fun way to reveal it? I’m thinking supplies for the trip wrapped up, but can’t figure out what reveals it. Ideas please!!

Packable raincoats/ponchos for everyone! Think layers: Lived in Scotland for 6 years and often do summer trips with my husband and kids to visit inlaws and travel. In summer there WILL be rain, and there will be sun ( in fact the last few summer trips had a couple of warm humid days - climate change!) sometimes all on the same day!

Also the Scottish are quite fashionable and design forward. If you dress like you are backpacking the whole trip you will be easily seen as a tourist. Layers, esp a water repellent layer with a hood that can go over a tshirt or sweater and can be dressed up or down will help with packing and go from a nice dinner in Edinburgh or Glasgow to the highlands and islands.

A trivia game/progressive clues: answers get you closer and closer to Scotland. Starting hard then ending on a super easy guess? I’m thinking something like “where is this accent from?”
