Delight your special kid with an allergy-free gift
If you know a child with a food allergy, you may feel like making them feel special can be tricky sometimes. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. I’ve got allergy-free gift ideas that are practical but help kids feel special and have fun too.
Read on to see 5 of the best allergy-free gifts for kids.
From kid’s baking kits that offer fun experiences and empower them in the kitchen to fun & stylish medical ID bracelets that keep them safe all year round.
If I’ve got aunts and uncles or grandparents here, keep in mind a few things to AVOID giving your special food allergy kid:
Homemade food - If you have allergens in your home or have never cooked for food allergies, homemade food is a no-no. Check with parents to learn how to make that special allergy-free food gift safe before gifting.
Lotions, soaps, and creams - Many food allergy kids also have eczema which can be irritated by common scents and ingredients.
Foods that you haven’t OK’d with their parents - Ingredient labels can be trickier to understand than you think. All food should be pre-approved by parents to avoid disappointment.
Read on for more details (with links ) so you can decide on the best allergy-free gifts for the special kid in your life!
The Best Allergy-Free Gifts
There are many toy fads that come and go year after year. Rather than focus on those, I thought I would focus on items that will actually help your child live & thrive with food allergies. Check them out…
A Medical ID Bracelet That Your Allergy Kid Wants To Wear.
Your kid will love showing off their style & personality and it will keep them safe too! Our favorite brand is Lauren’s Hope. My daughter looks forward to getting a new bracelet every year. I love the durability and my daughter loves the fun colors and styles.
In the case of an anaphylactic reaction, seconds count!
When you buy a medical ID bracelet make sure it has the correct medical ID symbol on the front so that medical staff can see it and identify the issue right away. The cool thing is that Lauren’s Hope has varieties for boys and girls of all ages.
If you’re worried about getting your child to wear their bracelet, make sure to check out this post where I give you some great tips that work!
A Fun & Cute Epinephrine Carrier.
I believe that empowering our food allergy kids starts with them wearing their own epinephrine as early as possible. I also believe that one of the best ways to get your little ones to wear their epinephrine is to get them an epi carrier that they love!
These carriers are so cute and are worth every penny if they get your child to wear their epinephrine. Check out these fun styles here.
Baking Experiences Filled With Empowerment & Fun In The Kitchen.
This baking club is designed to empower, educate, and create FUN kitchen experiences with your little allergy chef. Little GF Chefs is so much more than just Gluten Free! In fact, they are top 8 allergen-free too.
These fun and seasonal kits are the perfect allergy-free gift. Whether you choose a subscription, a seasonal kit (like Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, or Christmas), or an individual kit, you’re sure to get a smile after unwrapping.
4. Allergy Alert Stickers For Safety at Daycare Or School
Allergy alert stickers can talk for your child when they can’t. Help keep them safe with a set of stickers that give a visual reminder of their food allergies to caregivers and teachers.
4. PJs that Soothe Eczema So Your Allergy Kid Can Have A Restful Sleep.
PJs are a staple for my kids every Christmas. They love getting a new and cozy set of PJs and I love that they’re a practical gift they can use! If you know a child with eczema, these PJs are a must. I first heard of them from Allergic Living Magazine and now I wish that we would have known about them sooner so my daughter would have been able to sleep more peacefully, even with eczema.
5. A T-Shirt To Communicate Their Allergy & Raise Awareness
I love how these t-shirts are created to help little ones communicate their food allergy in a stylish and fun way. From anti-bullying messages to allergy awareness, this line of T-shirts and sweatshirts are a sure allergy-free gift winner. They even have a line of “mommy and me” products too.
