Eating gluten-free is a rising diet trend around the world. Although the number of people diagnosed with Coeliac disease hasn’t risen as much, there are more and more people claiming to experience gluten intolerance. And on top of that, one in five people today reduce or avoid gluten because they think it will make them healthier. That means, whatever the reason they embrace the trend, we all have gluten-free people in our lives.

As the holidays approach, you may be worried about what gifts you can get the dear gluten-free family and friends in your life. Living gluten-free isn’t just about the food choices; it quickly becomes a way of living for those who pursue this life. Therefore, presenting these people with something that shows consideration of their choice can show them you put thought into selecting a gift, which equals care and love.

If you’ve been scratching your head and wondering “What can I give someone who is gluten-free?” you’re at the right place. Here are the best gift ideas for the gluten-free foodies in your life.

Gluten-Free Gift Baskets

Giving edible baskets as a gift is a unique experience. But giving gluten-free edible gifts is an even more considerate and thoughtful gesture. It demonstrates how attentive you are to what the other person needs and how adept you are at meeting those needs.

Whether presented for birthdays, anniversaries, or sleepovers, gluten-free edible gifts are sure to please the recipient. These baskets are available with a delivery Australia-wide online. Some retailers even provide same-day delivery, which qualifies them as ideal for last-minute gift purchases. Here are some not-so-common gluten-free gift ideas for a more personalised experience.

Cake Explosion Box

While traditional birthday cakes are so last year, a gluten-free cake explosion box makes the ideal edible gift. Give them literal butterflies in their stomachs on your anniversary, or give them the shock of their lives by getting it delivered right to the doorstep of your gluten-free buddy as a surprise. Your loved ones will swoon over the truly unique experience you can create for them with our extensive customisation options. For extra spice, add some alcohol or pictures.

Cake Confetti Box

Do you recall when we used to purchase confetti bombs for parties? Nothing is more unexpected than having confetti explode in the face of a loved one! They’ll get a rich gluten-free mud cake later, so don’t worry. Confetti explosion boxes combine a cake and confetti bomb for the ideal all-in-one surprise. When the giftee opens the box, confetti explodes, revealing a cute mudcake.

Assorted Gluten-Free Donuts

Is there anything sweeter to give someone who has everything than a doughnut? There is — a box stuffed with gluten-free doughnuts! And when filled with treats in the recipient’s favourite flavour, they’ll undoubtedly be a hit. You’ll pleasantly surprise your gluten-free giftee, for sure. Other popular gluten-free gift basket ideas include fruit and vegetable baskets, gourmet hampers, energy bars, chocolate hampers and others.

Homebrew Beer Kit

Do you know what’s not gluten-free? Beer. How sad this is for those beer lovers going gluten-free because of having health issues. That’s why gifting them a homebrew beer kit that includes everything they’ll need to make gluten-free beer is an awesome idea. Such kits come with all the right supplies you need to become a master brewer, including homebrew recipes and sorghum extract, used in place of malt extract to make it gluten-free. Not only will they enjoy their gluten-free craft beer, but will also enjoy turning from beer lovers to makers.

Cookbook with Gluten-Free Recipes

There are a lot of gluten-free cookbooks. The particular option can be modified to fit a person’s preferences. For the daring, think about an ethnic cookbook with easily adaptable recipes that may not be gluten-free. It is simple to adapt Indian, Persian, or Thai recipes to be gluten-free. Below are a few cookbook examples, some more well-known than others. There are so many options available!

Numerous publications cater to the gluten-free community and focus on gluten-free diets and food allergies. Such are the GFF Magazine, the Gluten Free Lining and DelightSimply Gluten Free. They offer a full year’s worth of data and meal plans. A subscription to these journals makes a fabulous gift.

Travel Accessories

Anyone sticking to a strict gluten-free diet can’t safely use previously used items like toasters, colanders, and cutting boards. Getting any or all of the following items for your favourite traveller who avoids gluten will help their trips more convenient:

• Silicone cutting boards
• Foldable colanders
• Toaster bags
• A small, portable blender

All these are affordable, useful items that fit neatly into any travel bag. They’re also great for anyone who enjoys eating healthy while on the road – something that can be difficult to do when relying on restaurant meals.

Gluten-Free Condiments

Most sauces aren’t gluten-free, meaning those who avoid gluten must avoid them too, especially when dining out. For gluten-free college students or travellers, or those dining out more frequently, gluten-free condiment packets are ideal. They’ll appreciate these simple-to-pack options. There is gluten-free soy sauce and a variety of other condiments available to add flavour to their gluten-free meals.
