How about a nice gift certificate for the place they love to eat dinner at? That would give them a nice evening out sometime when there days are full and hectic.

My mother is so proud of where she lives, I went to spilsbury.com and had a puzzle made from her street address map. Maybe not for every mom, but it works for mine - maybe yours? I think it was $35.

If they don't want/need anything how about buying some goats and chickens for a third world family to raise?WorldVision (or similar charity) does that type of thing. Last year, my MIL bought 3 chickens and a goat in our name for a family in Guatemala.

I am done, yay. I got started early this year and finished up before Thanksgiving!

My parents are hard to buy for too. They don't usually want anything, or they buy everything they want, so it's hard to surprise them with anything. Do your parents like theatre, concerts, anything like that? Tickets to a play, or a musical, the symphony, or a concert coming up in the year is an option.

Parents are always hard to buy for aren't they??

When I asked my Mum + Dad what to get they say 'Oh don't worry about us'( :rolleyes: )

Anyway - I ended up getting them a digital thermometer/barometer (my Mum's obsessed by how cold it is!) and I also got my Mum a new glass vase and Dad some wool socks (well at least he'll get use out of them! :lol: )

I'm finally done shopping, just finished up today... If your parents are hard to buy for, I definitely agree with the idea of giving them a gift certificate. Gift certificates are so nice to receive. Or perhaps they've talked about liking a musician or sporting event... You could get them tickets to a performance... Or, you could just handmake goodies for them like chocolate covered (gluten free) pretzels, brownies, cookies, etc...

I like the gift certificate idea as well.

Another thing that works well for parents is any type of pictures of the family. My husband gave his mother a framed copy of her with her two grandchildren (not even our kids) and now everyone in the family has that picture somewhere because it is really great. She was very happy.

I like that puzzle idea. I have never heard of that. I might have to look into it.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
