Gluten Free Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas is approaching quickly and some of you may be scrambling to find ideas for your Christmas lists or for ideas for your loved one with Celiac Disease. If your newly diagnosed then you will probably have a lot of new appliances and baking utensils on your list.

Triumph Dining Blog put together this cool list of the Top 10 Gluten Free Gifts for 2008.

The Breadman and magazine subscriptions are on my list.

Number 10 on the list (A Gluten-Free Christmas) would be great but highly unlikely outside of my home. Man am I gonna miss all my favorite cookies this year.
