I want to buy a gift for the lovely couple that escort my SN ds to school every day. They have been so lovely and taken really good care of him during a very difficult transition, not only to secondary school, but also going on SN transport for an hour each way, after spending the last 8 years living across the road from his primary school.
I don't know them well, as it's aways a rush to get him off in the morning and they are in a hurry to drop off other charges when they drop him off in the evening - and we can't afford much, so thought perhaps something like a tin of biscuits or nice box of chocolates?
I am 99% sure they are Muslim and ds insists that he knows they are (but then ds insists he knows a lot of things he doesn't 
) so thought it best to make sure whatever I buy is Halal, but it seems to be an absolute minefield.
I thought finding guaranteed gluten free stuff for ds was hard, but I've just spent a couple of hours googling trying to find information re things like Cadbury's Christmas Biscuit tins, then was lead by something I came across to Lindt chocolate, only to find they use alcohol as a flavour carrier in their products. I seem to be going round in circles and a lot of what I've found is years out of date.
I could email individual manufacturers - although from what I've read many of them have a poor grasp of what is permissible, so before I do, does anyone know what products I could buy that are not only Halal, but would make a nice gift?
