Gluten-Free Fun Last Minute Gift Guide
Some of you may be done with holiday shopping. Or some of you may be like me and you haven't even started shopping yet. Well, whichever category you fall in to, you might still have someone you need to buy a gift for this holiday season. And there is always the gift for yourself! Here are some of my top gift ideas for 2016.

Please note, this post may contain affiliate links. 




Nima Sensor

The world's first pocket-sized gluten sensor! I've been using this for about 6 weeks now and it really is a game changer. I've tested food both at home and on the road. Most of the time, the food labeled gluten-free comes up without gluten, but not always! This pocket-sensor is a great way to check your food for gluten and hopefully keep you from getting contaminated by gluten.

To order: https://nimasensor.com/

Use code: GFGlobe for $30 off a Nima Starter Kit.

New purchasers only, cannot be combined with other offers.
Expiration 12/31/2016.  

Butcher Box

This box of 100% grass-fed beef, organic/pastured chicken, and heritage breed pork is an awesome gift. We got a box last month and the beef was some of the best that I've eaten. Whether you are gluten-free, paleo, or just looking for some high-quality, delicious meats, this is the box for you. Monthly subscriptions are available so you can get fresh meat delivered to your house each month. Or you can send a gift box and choose from the chicken and pork box, beef and pork box, or steak and chops box!

With the new name comes an even stronger mission to provide The bagels are gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, and Kosher. They are also delicious and come in favorite flavors such as french toast, everything, salt, and cinnamon raisin.

Healthy Goodness Frozen

Red Apple Lipstick

I have to admit that I don't wear lipstick often but I do use the Red Apple Ralleye Balm every single day and I also wear their mascara when I am getting dolled up. The Ralleye Balm is my go-to for dry lips, dry cuticles, and even my sore nose when I have a cold. It's awesome. The products at Red Apple lipstick are allergen-free so whether you are gluten-free or simply super sensitive, these makeup products are for you. Check out their clearance page too for deeper discounts!

Alek's Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease


My friend found this on Gizmodo and I really don't have words for this website/house/event, so I am posting the article from the 12/6/07 posting on Gizmodo.

Web-Controllable Holiday Lights Setup is Christmas Spirit Overload
10:00 AM ON THU DEC 6 2007
BY ADAM FRUCCI

It's the Christmas season, so you know what that means: completely insane, over-the-top lighting displays. Yes, they get crazier every year as front-yard hobbyists figure out how to put more and more tech into their shows to make them even more impressive. One of my personal favorites is "Alek's Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease," so named because they exist as a fundraiser for Celiac disease research and because you can actually control the entire setup via the Internet.

Yes, starting at 5pm MST every afternoon, Alek's entire setup becomes controllable via his website. You can turn specific sets of lights on and off, and you can inflate or deflate giant characters, such as Christmas classics Santa, Homer Simpson and Elmo. You can also type text messages in to be displayed on a monitor in "Santa's Workshop," which has its own cam.

The entire setup runs on 17 different circuits, has 17,100 lights, and uses 65 amps of power. Before you start ranting and raving about this hurting the environment, you should know that the whole shebang runs on wind power. In addition, Alek purchased a carbon offset to double the environmental friendliness of the setup. And as soon as they get cheaper (hopefully by next year), he plans to start using energy-efficient LED lights.

And it's all for a good cause! Both his sons have Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. So if you get some kicks out of playing with these lights, the least you could do would be to toss a few bucks to the U of Maryland in his name if you have the means. It's the season of giving, after all.

---

Alex's website is really quite a trip. I wasn't sure what I was looking at, where my cursor was, or when MST really starts so I can turn on the lights on his house. Anyway, here is the link and the a little blurb from his website:


http://www.komar.org/cgi-bin/christmas_webcam

Use the three christmas webcams to view live images of 17,000 christmas lights and also CONTROL them - heck, you can even inflate (or deflate) the giant Elmo, Frosty, Santa, and Homer Simpson - D'OH! The webcams are online 7x24 from Thanksgiving to January 1st and you annoy the neighbors by turning stuff on & off from 1700 to 2200 MST (GMT-7). Plus you can send "Instant Messages via Webcam" for everyone to see. HO HO HO! ;-)
