30+ Thoughtful Gluten-Free Gift Ideas
Shopping for the perfect present is hard! But, this round-up is full of thoughtful gift ideas that will absolutely delight any gluten-free friend or loved one.
My daughter and I both have celiac disease, and I have curated this list from our own favorite things, plus items that are raved about in the gluten-free community. Each gift is designed to make the recipient smile, perhaps squeal, and in the case of certain gluten-free baked goods, cry with joy.
You’ll find gifts for every budget, from the splurge of a completely gluten-free weekend getaway to decadent pain au chocolat.
Collect several smaller items into a travel gift basket for your gluten-free adventurer. Or give your favorite gluten-free little one a cooking class.
Shopping for something more romantic? Well, diamonds are always gluten-free (wink). But, I’ve got you covered with a gluten-free date night and chocolate.

Small Kitchen Appliances and Gadgets
These small appliances and kitchen gadgets are both fun and practical for the gluten-free kitchen. Some are pricey. Plan to buy during sales: Black Friday, December, Amazon Prime Day (usually in July), and holiday weekends.

Stand Mixer
Kitchen Aid is a popular brand with lots of fun attachments. Pick a color the gift recipient loves and watch for sales! This brand goes on sale frequently around Christmas and in the summer.

Bread Machine

Instant Pot
I simplify dinner time with my Instant Pot Duo, which can be used as a pressure cooker or slow cooker. If I had an excuse to buy a new one, it would be the Instant Pot Pro Crisp to get the pressure cooker, slow cooker, and air fryer, along with 8 other settings.

Blender

Hand Mixer
A hand mixer is a must-have for gluten-free baking and a wonderful gift for someone who is newly gluten-free or for a young adult setting up their first kitchen.

Ice Cream Maker
Make the gift more thoughtful! Simply print out a few recipes from this collection of over 40 Gluten-Free Homemade Ice Cream Recipes. The recipe collection also includes a list of fun ice cream-making supplies, like adorable storage tubs and bowl sets you could add to your gift.
Alexa Echo Devices
Alexa Echo devices are historically on sale around Black Friday, Cyber Monday, throughout the Christmas season, and during Prime Days in the summer.

Pizza Stone
Because pizza stones are porous and can have remnants of gluten left behind by traditional pizzas, your gluten-free family members or friends will need a new, dedicated pizza stone only used for gluten-free pizzas.
George Foreman Panini Grill
Travel Essentials
Put together a gluten-free gift basket of travel essentials for your globetrotting loved one, your college student embarking on a new adventure, or a gluten-free houseguest you want to feel welcome in your kitchen.

The Basics: Aluminum Foil, Toaster Bags & Slow Cooker Liners
Aluminum foil covers sheet pans in an Airbnb kitchen, toaster bags protect gluten-free toast from wheat-filled crumbs in a hotel toaster, and a slow cooker liner means a gluten-free slow-cooked meal isn’t cross-contaminated by a well-loved crock pot.

Travel Kitchen
Big and little at the same time. These flexible cutting boards have a large cutting surface and a non-slip back. They’re also ultra-thin, so you can tuck one into a suitcase taking up virtually no space.
Add these supplies, along with a couple of other items from “the basics” list, to a gift basket full of travel essentials!

Hot Logic
A hot logic is an ideal gift for hotel travel. There’s also a version with a 12V plug to use in vehicles on road trips.

Dedicated Gluten-Free Getaway
The Inn on Randolph in Napa, California’s Historic District. From gluten-free toiletries to the included dedicated gluten-free breakfast, you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

On the east coast, the Inn Berlin is perfectly located in Berlin, MD, just a short drive from the eastern shore. This B&B also includes breakfast in a completely gluten-free dining environment.

Another option is the Celiac Cruise which offers:
- dedicated dining rooms on specific Royal Caribbean large ship sailings and
- completely gluten-free sailings along rivers in Europe on smaller ships, in connection with AmaWaterways

Apple AirTags

Gluten-Free Dining Apps
I personally use two apps for dining out both near and far, the Find Me Gluten Free App and the Gluten Dude App.
Find Me Gluten Free has a free version with tons of helpful information and reviews. Gift the premium version and the recipient will have access to premium features: searching by “most celiac safe” restaurants (one of the best features of the app), saving a list of restaurants for a trip, and no ads. Use the code GOGLUTENFREELY for $5 off the premium version.
Gift Basket Fillers
Gather a few of these items into a thoughtful collection of gluten-free goodies in a basket. The smaller items, from makeup to magazines make great stocking stuffers.

Gluten-Free Cookbook
Becky Excell’s How to Make Anything Gluten-Free is one of those cookbooks. A pic for every recipe. Plus, it is full of the very recipes your gluten-free friend has been missing, from bread to donuts.
Another excellent cookbook is the How Can It Be Gluten-Free Cookbook Collection by America’s Test Kitchen. On top of over 350 recipes, the best part of this book is the beginning, which is packed with well-tested tips that are unique to gluten-free baking.

Baking Supplies & Ingredients
- cookie cutters
- icing decorating kit
- oven mitts
- baking sheets with silicone baking mats
- fun silicone muffin pan
- King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour (my favorite brand of flour for baking cakes, cookies, and muffins
- gluten-free mixes

Gluten-Free Magazine
It was a treat to browse through the pages of a magazine full of recipes, entertaining ideas, and even a travel article on gluten-free in Paris.
So pop a magazine into a gift basket or stocking. Even better, gift a gluten-free magazine subscription for a year’s worth of fun recipes and articles.

Chocolate
For an affordable and easy-to-find option, many Hershey’s chocolates, from Kisses (some varieties) to Peanut Butter Cups, are labeled gluten-free. Hershey’s will always label its gluten-free chocolates, so check the package for the words “gluten-free”.

Makeup
Mineral Fusion is a gluten-free and natural makeup brand with a long list of reasons to feel good about a loved one putting this on their skin: clean, cruelty-free, artificial fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and paraben-free. From skincare and cosmetics to nail polish, you’ll find the perfect gift for any gluten-free makeup fan.

Baked Goods
I cannot more highly recommend the following bakery items that are every bit as good as the gluten versions:
- bagels from Modern Bread & Bagel
- croissants & pain au chocolat from Mariposa Baking
These bakery items are so good. The recipient may just cry tears of joy at finally being able to eat much-missed, favorite treats.
Gifts For Our Gluten-Free Kids
These gifts are sure to make your favorite gluten-free kiddo (or kiddos) smile!

Thermos & Lunch Box
Running out of gluten-free lunch ideas? There’s nothing easier than leftovers from your child’s favorite dinners.
The 10 oz Thermos Funtainer is a practical gift that comes with a convenient spoon tucked into the lid and is available in dozens of cute patterns to match your little one’s personality.
Put together a back-to-school present with a new Thermos Funtainer, coordinating water bottle, and lunchbox.
For tweens and teens with growing appetites, I recommend moving up to the larger, 16 oz Funtainer.

Online Gluten-Free Cooking Class

Cupcake Kit
Build a cupcake kit with:
- gluten-free cake mix
- frosting (most canned frosting is labeled gluten-free, Funfetti varieties come with sprinkles)
- sprinkles (most Betty Crocker sprinkles are labeled gluten-free)
- fun cupcake toppers (like the adorable mermaid ring toppers pictured above) and cupcake wrappers
- individual cupcake boxes to transport the finished treat to parties
Tip! Double-check the packages on everything in your cupcake kit to make sure they say “gluten-free” on the label!

Holiday-Themed Gifts
This next section has great ideas for major gift holidays. Sweetheart presents for Valentine’s Day, Easter basket fillers for little ones, hostess gifts for Thanksgiving or any special dinner, Christmas goodies, and more!

Gingerbread House Bundt Cake Pan

Easter Baskets
Fill your gluten-free little one’s Easter basket with treats from Go Gluten-Freely Easter Candy List.
Buy early if you want a chocolate easter bunny before they sell out. The popular Jake the Milkless Easter Bunny is multiple allergen-free and gluten-free!

Valentine’s Day
From sweets to romantic picnic ideas, you’ll find great gift ideas for your gluten-free Valentine on Go Gluten Freely’s roundup of the Best Valentine’s gifts.

Crepe Gift Set
Surprise your loved one with a crepe pan or two. I personally use two crepe pans at once to keep things moving quickly in the kitchen.
Complete the gift with a copy of the recipe and a bag of King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour (or any gluten-free cup-for-cup replacement flour).

Pastry or Pie Dough for Fall Treats and Pies
It’s literally as easy as pie to get a good gluten-free pie crust. Unlike breadier products, such as bread, pretzels, and pizza, the magic of the crust is in the fat, not the flour.
Consider these fun, pastry-themed, fall gift options:
- King Arthur Gluten-Free Pie Mix (kosher and gluten-free) with a ceramic pie pan
- Wholly Wholesome GF Pie Crusts premade in tins, along with a copy of this delicious Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe and cans of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin and Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
- Sweet Loren’s Gluten-Free Pastry Dough with a package of hot dogs (Hebrew National and Applegate hot dogs are labeled gluten-free) and candy eyes to make Mummy Hot Dogs
