Not that my ideas are anywhere near so good as others presented here, but my vision of the fae were as mischief makers with a wicked sense of humor.
Who are the enemies of the fae, and what could be stolen from them and given to the fae as an offering? Things like sea-dragon scales, a haunch of meat or fur from a mammoth, a few feathers from a phoenix... Just some real oddball stuff that the fae might find amusing.
Depends on what the fae consider enemies, or at least what they consider worth pulling the proverbial tail of. As for what the Scottish family gets out of it, they end up giving the fae the gift, and if I'm remembering correctly, gifts are a very strong and meaningful force.
