Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can get a Glutton free Christmas selection box for my niece, I just want to make her feel normal when all her siblings get a selection box and I don't want her to be left out.
Does any brand make such an item?
Thanks

Its a pain in the backside when our daughter visits, whos a veggie. Its fair to say we haven't been 100% truthful with some dishes or meals - but its not killed her yet. God knows what it like to cater for someone where it really matters.

Health food shops do gluten free foods, though I've never seen a selection box. Also most good supermarkets have a 'free from' section, again, you need to check just what they are free from, it might be soya or dairy rather than gluten.
I would start by checking the ingredients on the back of a 'normal' selection box, you may find that they are gluten free anyway.

My daughter's long-term veggie and more recently GF - diagnosed in her mid 40s - and it's a bit of a challenge finding 'gifty' things for her. She does react badly to 'stealth gluten'. Find a nice basket and make up a little individual hamper-style gift selection of Free From items - same result as a selection box, but extra special because you've made time to put it together yourself and dress it up nicely with tissue paper, bit of ribbon etc. Then you can be sure there's nothing in it that will disagree with her.

A lot of chocolate is naturally gluten free, so as long as you read the labels carefully you won't have to pay a premium price for branded GF products. For example, I've just checked my Christmas Matchmakers stash (orange, mint and butterscotch) and they seem okay.

Just did a quick Google search for Gluten free chocolate and a number of Lindt products fall into the category.
