Xmas food gifts for Coeliacs

6 replies

I'd like to buy some foodie treats for Xmas for my friend. She's on a limited budget & I know the treats can be expensive. She's not long had her birthday & I did the alcohol & pamper gifts.
Can anyone recommend some nice food treats for coeliacs? I believe coeliac food has to be dairy, wheat & gluten free? I found some nice savoury biscuits in a deli, but not really much else...
Fingers crossed I find something!

Hello! I suffer with this and the main issues are with gluten and wheat. Dairy can be an issue for some people if their tummy is really inflamed, so I'd ask your friend what she can/can't have.

Friends have bought me some lovely food gifts from Yumbles before that aren't the same old chocolate brownies.

These are lovely and I order them every Christmas- they are gluten free but not dairy free. They come in lovely branded wrapping with a ribbon and lots of tissue paper - they're quite active on Instagram so you could message them to see if they could do dairy free too?

Lazy day do some tiffin that is gluten free, dairy free and vegan.
Despite that it’s actually really nice (I’m gluten free and some stuff you can buy is awful) - I’ve only ever seen it at Waitrose but might be elsewhere as well.

Im same as pp, don't have an issue with dairy. M&S do some really nice gluten free stuff, the blueberry muffins and caramel shortcakes are nice, or their scones are really nice too (maybe do an afternoon tea hamper?) Morrisons sell a gluten free galaxy chocolate cake which is good. Tesco do chocolate mini muffins which are really nice. Kettle share bag crisps are gluten free.
This is a good website ... www.theglutenfreekitchen.co.uk/

Coeliac here. Dairy was only a problem during time before diagnosis. Be aware that some coeliacs can’t have oats either (even GF oats) so may want to check with your friend or avoid oaty biscuits etc.
Chocolate is good (though check it doesn’t have a ‘may contain gluten’ warning.
Nuts
Fudge
Toffee
Many crisps
Etc

Doesn't have to be dairy free unless the person also has an issue with dairy as well as being coeliac.

What kind of stuff does she like?

I have three coeliac relatives and they would all have entiry different things in a food 'treat' hamper. One would be chuffed with port, cheese and crackers and chutneys, one would like gluten free beers and cakes and chocolates and the other would want pies, cakes and gin.
