How To: Fill a Celiac’s Stocking

It’s Black Friday, which means the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! If you have a celiac in your life, you might be wondering what to stuff their stocking with - especially if you like to include edible treats. We’ve compiled an extensive list of ideas below to take the guesswork out of this part of your Christmas shopping!

• Beauty Products

  • EOS lip balms, treatments, or masks

  • EOS hand cream or body lotion

  • Face, hand, or foot masks

  • Lip stick or gloss (Bare Minerals or Milk Makeup)

  • Mascara

    • Some celiacs require this cosmetic to be gluten free, while others do not. Confirm their comfort with a non-gluten mascara before purchasing or opt for one that’s labeled gluten free.
