Are you looking for the perfect gift for your gluten-free friend? We’ve got you covered with these thoughtful gluten-free gift ideas that your GF BFF will love. This post was updated in November 2024 and contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosures.
Looking to get your gluten-free friend the perfect holiday gift? Check out this list of 13+ gluten-free gift ideas that will bring a smile to your gluten-free friend’s face.
These gift ideas are perfect for anyone with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, EoE, or who avoids gluten because they feel better.
(1) Love Me Gluten Free Subscription Box
Your gluten-free friend will love sampling different brands of gluten-free foods when you get them a monthly sampling box subscription from Love Me Gluten Free.
A Love Me Gluten Free subscription box includes gluten-free goodies carefully curated for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. The box will help your friends discover new products and encourage them to get out of their gluten-free food ruts.
The Love Me Gluten Free subscription box was founded by the founder of this website (Jenny), who wanted to make gluten-free more fun and delicious for her community. And because Jenny has celiac disease, she uniquely understands what makes for a good product and trusted brand.
Visit lovemeglutenfree.com to order a monthly subscription ($54.99 + $9.99 shipping), one-time box (for under the Christmas tree), or a prepaid 3, 6, or 12-month holiday gift subscription (offered for a limited time). A Love Me Gluten Free subscription box is truly the gift that keeps on giving year round!
(2) Gluten-Free Baking Kits
If you’re shopping for a special gluten-free kid and want to make their day, get them a Little GF Chefs baking kit.
They’ll have so much fun making animal crackers (kit pictured above), pretzels, cookies, unicorn donuts, and gluten-free treats from scratch. You can order a single kit or a month-to-month subscription.
In 2023, Little GF Chefs launched Gluten-Free Gingerbread House Baking Kits. These kits are found on the Little GF Chefs website and at select Sprouts in the U.S.
Use my coupon code – GOODFORYOU – for 10% off any Little GF Chefs subscription.
(3) Red Apple Lipstick
If your friend loves to look good, gift her certified gluten-free makeup from my favorite 100% gluten-free makeup brand, Red Apple Lipstick. Choose from lipstick, lip glosses, blush, eye makeup, skincare products and more!
My coupon code, GOODFORYOUGF, will get you 20% off when you SHOP HERE!
(4) A Box of Gluten-Free Chocolates
Few brands make gluten-free chocolates you can trust. That’s why I’m obsessed with Rayluca Chocolate, a woman-owned San Diego-based chocolate shop.
Rayluca makes premium handmade chocolates that are gluten, dairy, soy, and refined sugar-free. Every chocolate is also infused with superfoods.
Use the code LOVEMEGF10 for 10% off at raylucachocolate.com through 12/31/24.
See’s Candies are also gluten-free (except for items made in an outside facility), and they’re gorgeous! Please note that they contain dairy and other allergens, unlike Rayluca Chocolates.
(5) A Bakery Gift Card
Did you know that there are 300+ gluten-free bakeries nationwide? You can support your gluten-free friend and their local bakery by purchasing a bakery gift card.
If you don’t have a gluten-free bakery near you, my friends at Twisty by the Cookie Corner in Lakewood, New Jersey, ship nationwide. These are some of the best gluten-free baked goods money can buy. All baked goods are dairy-free and kosher, too.
Order your friend a sampling of these delicious treats from Twisty. Good For You Gluten Free readers get 10% off with the code GOODFORGF.
(6) Gluten-Free Merch
Several influencers make gluten-free merch that would make an excellent gift for the holidays.
Phil Hates Gluten is an influencer who sells shirts with silly expressions like “Gluten Hates Me” and “Make Gluten-Free Bread Bigger.” Watch for his holiday drop and note that his merch sells out quickly, so act fast.
Lorin from Good Gluten-Free Grub is another influencer who sells fun shirts with cute gluten-free expressions, including this “Hold the Gluten” shirt she’s modeling.
Love Me Gluten Free offers more fun gluten-free merch, including adorable aprons, mugs, and totes, all of which help you display your gluten-free pride.
(7) Gluten-Free Cookbook
Your friend might also enjoy some gluten-free cookbooks. My friend Erin at Meaningful Eats has a new cookbook called “Let’s Bake Gluten Free.” It’s a hard-cover book and will make for a beautiful gift for your gluten-free friend!
(8) Ooni Pizza Oven
If your gluten-free friend loves pizza, they will love receiving an Ooni Pizza oven. This premium pizza oven will flame-cook a pizza in just 60 seconds for an incredible gluten-free Neapolitan-style pizza – sans gluten, of course!
Pair an Ooni pizza oven with No Gluten, No Problem Pizza cookbook for a thoughtful and generous gift your gluten-free friend will love!
(9) Bouqs Flower Subscription
Skip the gifts that remind your friend about her food woes, and get her a Bouqs flower subscription instead. Bouqs will deliver a bouquet each month to your friend’s doorstep. She will think of you with each delivery.
Get 20% off when you subscribe at this link – the code is newbouq20. The deal is valid for new Bouqs customers only.
(10) Electric Pasta Machine
Chances are your gluten-free friend misses authentic pasta and would love this Marcato Electric Pasta Maker. This is the exact pasta maker I have, and I use it to make my two-ingredient gluten-free pasta dough (pictured below).
Pair the gift with some of Hand + Heart All Purpose Flour or Better Batter Flour, two upscale flour brands, for a complete gift that will bring a smile to her face.
(11) Children’s Books
If you’re shopping for a gluten-free child newly diagnosed with celiac disease, they might enjoy one of these adorable books about living with celiac disease: Sabina’s Celiac Story by Neva Ryan, and I’m a Gluten-Sniffing Service Dog by Michal Babay.
To add a homemade touch to your gift, pair it with homemade gluten-free playdough that you could store in a mason jar and tie with a bow. (You can also buy gluten-free playdough, like Aroma dough, at the store.)
(12) Revolution Toaster
This fancy-schmancy Revolution toaster will be the envy of all your gluten-free friends. This is one of Oprah’s favorite things and a beloved toaster by the gluten-free community.
Enjoy various settings, including a gluten-free bread or frozen bread setting. The toaster also comes with special accessories for making paninis. Purchase this toaster on Amazon.
(13) Dear Gluten, It’s Not Me, It’s You
Don’t forget to pair whatever you get your friend with a copy of my book, Dear Gluten, It’s Not Me, It’s You. This book will help your friend break up with gluten once and for all and heal physically, emotionally, and mentally from her “bad” relationship with gluten.
Pair this book with a basket of your favorite gluten-free products and baking tools.
Happy Shopping!
