Suggestions of gifts that involve food (gender neutral suggestions so every type of relationship is included)1. edible arrangements Check if allergic to fruits. If the gift is food and its for me please NO berries: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, anything ending in berry!
2. welch or star-bursts gummy bears or skittles, the only candies i have found to be gluten free
3. gluten and lactose free/ unprocessed dark chocolate
4. their favorite wine or beer or drink (alcohol or not) hint: barefoot moscato wine, i don’t care if its a dessert wine i like it
5. fruit sorbet ( water based ice cream) check other fruit allergies
6. a nice dinner to a restaurant…hint: you can get ideas from my blogculinaryroadtripspuertorico.wordpress.com7. cook a nice dinner: its impressive because it shows you got talents other than being nice, respectful, intelligent and totally wonderful. hint: remember a way to conquer hearts is through the stomach8. coffee with almond,sow, rice, coconut, any milk substitute they can tolerate9. cookies, cakes, cupcakes, pastries, desserts, etc. for example Schär products are the best gluten and lactose free products I’ve tried, you wont notice the difference if your not into the gluten and lactose free diet. http://www.schar.com/
CHECK: check if the person has any other allergy like nuts many of the gluten free options use nuts as a substitute for example gluten free granola bars use nuts to substitute granola, if allergic to chocolate a great substitute is figs (it fooled me), many products use oils as milk substitute, fruit allergies the most common are citrus or berries substitutes are other fruits like pears and apples.WERE TO GET IT: many specialized health foods like Descubra, Freshmart, Marshall’s (cooking/kitchen department), or if you’re lucky enough average supermarketsDESCUBRA:
FRESHMART:
