Candy For A Party

I am making up gift bags and they need to be gluten-free and casein free. So far I have starburst candy and little boxes of sun maid raisins. What else could I put in there? I need 5 or so things. It doesn't have to be candy but something fun. I don't want crying over carrots or anything..lol

Thanks!

Bubble gum is always a hit.

prunes, the sunkissed ones. Those things can pass off as candy easily :P

Also, sugar crystles (you can look up online how to make them). You can even add food coloring to give them the color you want.

BTW, for non-candy ideas for the future look up the website for a company call the Oriental Trading Company. They make all kinds of trinkets, toys, craft supplies and party favors cheap. Any theme party you want to have you can find items for on that site.

If you have an iparty or other party store near you, check out their goody bag aisle. It will have small noncandy treats like stickers, those paper yoyo things, and much more.

We love smarties, and dum dums work well too. They often have great facility information disclosures on their packages. We are going to try bubblegum this year (double bubble)! We also like to include mechanical pencils, fancy pencils (flames, camo, flower, etc. prints), stickers, erasers, post-it notes, highlighters, bubbles, whistles, costume/play jewelry, yo-yos - whatever we can find at the dollar store!

Have fun! We are making treat bags right now for my DD who is turning 8!

Smarties in the US are gluten-free and casein free. In other countries they are a completely different candy--chocolate with a candy shell and not gluten-free (and probably not casein free). Just had to clarify. Carry on. :)

Skittles, Swedish Fish, Gummy Bears.

We put microwave popcorn in my daughter's treat bags. You can get some that is dairy free. Bearitos makes one brand. I can't remember the other brands offhand but they are organic.

I try not to buy JUNK made in China.

but...

a deck of playing cards ( if you have time print out rules for different games like crazy 8's, spoons, speed, or just some variations of solitare~ you really can play it without a computer!!?)

check out the clearance section of craft stores. (found ceramic painting kit on clearance for .97 cents included 3 pieces to paint, paint set, and paint brush was oringinally over $5.)

make your own craft kits? I don't know the age of your bunch or if it boys only, girl's only, or mixed.

Maybe some shirts or bandannas to color with markers and marker set to keep.

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
