If I go with the Welsh tartan I recognize that on its own it's not worth much. But, through my own intentional investment, I'm sure it would come to mean something.
Matt, perhaps there is some already-existing Welsh custom/ tradition that you could consider engaging in, such as choral singing or learning the Welsh language? That way your own intentional investment would be firmly rooted in a genuine connection to the culture of Wales. Just an idea.
Cordially,
David
