Gluten Free Holiday Gift Guide 2015

Holiday gluten-free GIFT GUIDE 2015

Welcome to the Celiac and the Beast 2015 Gluten-Free Holiday Guide! The holidays are my favorite time of year - the food, the family, the cupcakes, the gifts from "Santa" even though I'm a grown adult. However, the holidays are also a very difficult time for those with celiac, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or those avoiding gluten. The holidays for "normal" people are full of baking flour, gluten in the gravy, stuffing and dressing full of gluten, and even gluten in your gifts (thanks for the body care set I'll never be able to use). But we can have an amazing holiday season - full of gluten-free love, joy, cheer, and safe food. Take a look inside this holiday gift guide and find great gluten-free ideas for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and your own holiday wish list!

DISCLOSURE As a professional content creator, I am getting paid to feature certain brands and products in this gift guide. I am also an affiliate for several of these products, and some links are affiliate links that I may receive a portion of any sales made. However, I featured items in this guide because I genuinely care for them and think that they are great products. Plus, I need money to purchase holiday gifts for my cat children.

Thank you all for your love and support. Happiest of holidays to you and yours!

Erica
