Gifts for People Who Love Reeling Balls
Share
Going to the Royal Caledonian Ball and not sure what to bring your host? Not sure what to buy for someone who loves reeling balls? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are 6 gifts Ballavimus would love to receive:
Knot Tartan Sashes by Kinloch Anderson
We have always loved the 3 Knot Tartan Sashes by Kinloch Anderson – The way the tassels are tied off with all the different colours of your tartan is so elegant.

Cummerbunds by Monty Lewis
A black cummerbund is never wrong. The bright colourful ones you sometimes see can be. They might have their place at more casual balls, but wear them with caution. Not all crumb catchers are born equal. We normally advocate classic, timeless elegance at Ballavimus but there is one exception we make here: Monty Lewis’ cummerbunds – smart and stylish with beautiful frogging.

Classic Sport Fountain Pen by Kaweco
Great fountain pens needn’t cost the earth. We’re sure the Montblanc Meisterstück 149 is iconic for a reason. But it’s also nearly £1000. Meanwhile, the Kaweco Classic is a snip at £21. You can now write letters and fill in your diary with a proper pen and ink. You also won’t be too devastated if you lose it. Worth it.

Silver Kilt Pins by Hayward and Stott
Kilt pins are absolutely correct, if optional, to wear with your kilt. They can be a little divisive though. Some of them are undoubtedly a little ‘much’, a little naff. More ornate kilt pins do also risk getting caught on the lace of ladies’ dresses while dancing. A plain silver kilt pin solves this by being simple and stylish. They can also be offered to a damsel in distress if her dress has been torn by some other poor unfortunate chap.

The Ballroom Diary by Ballavimus
The Ballroom Diary allows you to record every reeling ball you’ve been to. You can preserve and display your dance cards. No more forgetting what the ball was like or who you danced with.
They are the perfect gift for reelers, especially for your host. If you’re not sure what colour they would want or what embossing to pick, buy them a Gift Card and they can customise their Diary exactly as they want.
They can be used to record ever ball you’ll ever go to in your life, not just reeling balls.
