Gift options for your loved ones with stomach problems.

Looking for some gifts for the upcoming holiday season? I comprised a few holiday gift guides below depending on what you’re looking for!

There are three categories:

1. For the Baker
2. Comfort Gifts
3. Sweet Treats

In these lists, you can find anything from cookbooks and baking mixes to heating pads and chocolate. These are all great for people with tummy problems, &/or those who follow restrictive diets.

Since we are still on quarantine, I only shared items that can be purchased online. I hope that you find some amazing gifts for your loved ones, or to put on your own wish list! Here is my holiday gift guide for 2020:
