Gluten Free Brands in the UK

I have been given €50 to buy an assortment of gluten free biscuits/ snacks/ treats for a coeliac customer who regularly visits where I work. He is from the UK, we are on the Dutch/ German border, and the idea being that he gets something different to try.
Which brands are freely available in the UK?
So far I've found products by Schär, Consenza, Peak's, and 3 Pauly, as well as some supermarkets' and a chemist's own brands.
So, which of these should I go for, and what is bog standard from Sainsbury's?
Thank you.

Of those brands, we only get Schaer in the UK. Quality of GF products varies a lot, so ask around to find anyone gf and their preferences before spending out

I always buy few packets of English Muffins from Sainsbury's for my friend who is coeliac. She freezes them.
Waitrose has good choice of various gluten free products in their bigger shops as well.

I think that's just why he wants a random selection to test the quality and see if there's anything here he likes.

Okay, so if you get Schär, do you get the chocolate and almond horns (which I find in Germany), and the cinnamon biscuits with the windmills on, and the syrup waffels (both of which are traditional Dutch foods)?
And can you get lebkuchen at Christmas?

No, we don't get any of those. I have had lebkuchen, but can't remember for the life of me if I bought them in the UK - but it would be a nice thing to try if he doesn't normally get them.

The most exciting thing I can get is gf pastries - a customer in Sweden won my lifelong loyalty with a gf coffee cake when I was visiting so anything like that would be amazing.

if you find some really good brands, I'll pick some up from you Grin

I will report back then!
Just don't know when as it all depends on when the lorries next come through.
DM is gluten free too, but also lactose free which rules out most things so we've not tried that much.

Lazy Day Foods do lovely traybake type treats. Millionaire Shortbread, Rocky Road, Tiffin etc. Really good. I get them in Sainsbury's.

Thanks Duck, I'll pass that on.
