Gluten-Free Holiday Gift Guide

Tired of gifting the same ol' fruit baskets to your gluten-free bestie? Here’s a gift guide packed with unique ideas they’ll love!

1. Gluten-Free Bamboo Sticks Make this holiday season easier on yourself and your loved ones with these gluten-free label sticks! The holiday season is so tough for those who struggle with food allergies and for those who don't entirely understand allergies, it can be terrifying. Purchase these before your next gathering with friends and family to ensure all your food stays safe.

   
   

2. Gluten-Free Prefilled Stockings These gluten-free prefilled stockings are a great gift for your loved ones this year. The stockings are loaded with gluten-free snacks and can be found on Amazon! Be sure to make sure to check the product details and labels on all of the snacks to make sure you're not gifting something they can't have.

   
   

3. Gluten-Free Embroidered Hat This cute gluten-free embroidered corduroy hat comes in several colors. The site makes other apparel with fun cutes and phrases for all your holiday needs! Personally, I'd love to be gifted something like this.

5. Modern Bread & Bagel Shipping Gift Card Majority of gluten-free gals and pals know about modern bagel. They have a stores in New York and California but also ship nationwide.
