Our story starts with my dad, Ken, part of a proud Scottish family that had emigrated to Queens, NY in the 1920s. He instilled in us a love for the Scottish New Year's tradition of "first-footing," where the first person to enter your home after midnight brings symbolic gifts for good luck. But let's face it, finding the right items at the last minute can be a scramble! That's why we created First Foot Shop. Our curated kits provide everything you need to participate in this fun and meaningful tradition. While our kit is rooted in Scottish custom, similar practices emphasizing the importance of the first visitor of the year exist in various forms across the globe, including Sweden, Greece, Serbia, Georgia and England, reminding us of our shared human desire for good fortune and new beginnings. Whether you're looking to connect with your Scottish heritage or simply start a unique New Year's tradition, First Foot Shop makes it easy and enjoyable. From our family to yours, wherever you are, Happy New Year!
