Gluten-free Gift Basket

Both of my children have silent auctions this year and I had the idea to put together a gluten-free goodies gift basket with some tried-and-true gluten free (both mainstream and speciality) products and recipes. I'm thinking pretty much gluten free meals for a whole day (breakfast/lunch/dinner/dessert).

Is this something any of you would have interest in if you were to see it at an event like that?

I'm thinking of branding it as, "For the gluten-free eaters in your life..." maybe a blurb about Celiac Disease for awareness, and call it good.

Any other thoughts or suggestions on how to make it appealing?

I think that would go well in our school auction. I know of a school employee and a few families that are gluten-free in our elementary school.

Our Whole Foods had a gluten-free gift basket recently and even though it was overpriced and not for a good cause I thought about buying it!

Good idea! I think putting mainstream products in there will get extra attention. People will be surprised by the things we can eat. Maybe say, "Celiac for a Day!"

i think that's awesome! i wish i lived closer so i could come and bid!

i'm not sure how much money you are looking to spend but some of the Celiac Awareness t-shirts are hilarious. i'm not sure if any mainstream stores sell them but they're all over the t-shirt websites.

i agree about having a mix of "regular" and specialty foods. that would make it appeal to more people, especially those who haven't got the foggiest idea what gluten and/or Celiac is!

I am doing somthing similar for my school's teacher dessert auction! I am making gluten free chocloate chip cookies. I branded it as "The perfect treat for somewith with Celiac, gluten/wheat intolerance, or allergies." I hope it brings in lots of $$$ because no one has made a "specialty" dessert before.

Maybe you could include some yummy treats that we usually pass by in the market because they are a bit expensive for everyday.

Last year my son's class did a movie night one with amoung other things, a red popcorn popper and a variety of popcorns-blue, white, yellow.

How about allergy free movie night for a theme?

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
