Do you love gifting family and friends practical or fun foodie presents? Do you find yourself a little perplexed, wondering what to buy a gluten-free loved one? Well, we’re here to help.
We’ve compiled a jam-packed list of the best gluten-free gifts for celiacs and those with gluten sensitivities. Whether you’re looking for gluten-free presents for kids, a gift under $30, or a present to place under the Christmas tree, there’s a gluten-free gift idea for you below.
The Best Gluten-Free Gifts
Are you ready for the best gluten-free gift guide? We’ve broken the gifts into categories for easy scrolling.
Vitamix
The Vitamix has a cult following, but for good reason. Their popular blenders have powerful motors, and they're useful for so many gluten-free Vitamix recipes. Oh, and they casually last up to 10 times as long as a normal blender.
Have you seen the new FoodCycler by Vitamix Eco 5, though? It’s on another level. It’s compact, quiet, and runs overnight, turning your food scraps into nutrient-rich soil. Click here to get $100 off for a very limited time!
Gluten-Free Gifts For Her
Celebrate the special women in your life with these gluten-free gifts. Some of these come from my favorite products all year, and others come right from the Black Friday sales.
Ice Cream Maker
For a summer celebration or birthday, you can’t look past an ice cream maker. This Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine has 4.7 stars on Amazon with over 14,000 ratings. Plus, it’s less than $60. It’s easy to use and you can make ice cream and frozen yogurt in 20 minutes or less. The double-insulated bowl also means you don’t need ice.
With their first batch of ice cream, they can make these gluten-free ice cream sandwiches.
Gluten-Free Skincare
Some people with celiac disease prefer to use gluten-free skincare as they’re concerned about accidental ingestion. One of the leading gluten-free skincare brands is Arbonne. They’ve been championing clean beauty since the 1980s and all their products are plant-based and gluten-free. They have a vast range of gift packs available, depending on your budget and preferences. But you’re sure to find something she’ll love.
Bread Maker With Gluten-Free Setting
There’s nothing quite like a slice of fresh gluten-free bread straight out of the bread machine. Now, we already have a guide to the best gluten-free bread makers on the market today. Our preference is the Zojirushi Breadmaker, but the Cuisinart Bread Maker Machine is a great budget alternative. With nearly 12.5 thousand ratings and 4.5 stars on Amazon, it’s a fan favorite.
If you want to gift them a recipe along with their new machine, check out our gluten-free bread recipe.
For Him
We can’t let the gluten-free man in your life feel left out, so check out these perfect presents.
Beer Kit
Now, we’ve previously compiled a list of the best gluten-free beers. So you can wrap up a six-pack and call it quits. But if you want to go that extra step, why not gift them a gluten-free home brew kit? This kit from Brewer’s Best results in five gallons of smooth and refreshing gluten-free ale. We promise it’s also easy to use.
Spice Set
If you have a grill master on your hands, we bet they’d love a gluten-free spice set. Now, you can keep it simple with this four-pack of gluten-free spices from Simple Girl. Or you can hop on the Spice Train and get this 20-pack of gluten-free spices direct from India. They can then have fun making their own gluten-free spice blends.
Cast-Iron Cookware
I know some men who spend as much time as possible with their favorite cast-iron cookware. That's why I recommend this enameled cast iron dutch oven. It's useful for recipes of all sorts, but I'm especially fond of it for desserts. Check out my gluten-free apple crisp recipe.

Baked Goods
If you’re visiting friends or family this festive season and want to bring along a gift, we recommend gluten-free baked goods. In turn, if you can’t make it to see family this year, send them a treat to remember you by.
- Erin McKenna’s Bakery is known for its gluten-free, vegan, and kosher baked treats. Fortunately, they ship nationwide. New York Magazine might’ve named their cupcakes the best in NYC, but we’re partial to the cinnamon rolls.
- Another option is Mariposa Baking on the West Coast. They also ship nationwide and have delicious gluten-free gift sets, as well as sweet and savory options.
- Speaking of savory, why not treat your loved one to the self-proclaimed absolute best gluten-free bagels on the planet? Modern Bread & Bagel is also based in New York City but they ship their bagels and other baked goods nationwide.
- Finally, we can’t forget Tate’s Bake Shop and its dedicated gluten-free facility. The way to anyone’s heart is through a dessert gift box filled with gluten-free blondies and brownies.
Gluten-Free Gifts Under $30

This includes the best cookbook for kids, people following a paleo diet as well, vegans, and beginner cooks.
Pizza Stone
In our gluten-free pizza dough recipe, we highly recommend buying a pizza stone. They make such a difference when baking gluten-free pizzas at home, as they help evenly distribute the heat for a crispier crust. Fortunately, you can find a pizza stone on Amazon for under $20.
Gluten-Free App Subscriptions
If you’re looking for a practical and affordable gluten-free gift idea, here are the best gluten-free apps. Many of them include in-app purchases or premium subscriptions with unique features, which the recipient might not ordinarily buy to save money. For frequent flyers, we strongly recommend Find Me Gluten-Free, so they can find the best gluten-free restaurants and businesses wherever they land.
Meal Planner
