I want to buy a present for a family of parents with 3 adult sons. Something fancy and edible would be nice, but it would have to be free from gluten and milk. I had thought of making some macarons, but my baking of them is a bit hit and miss, the harder I try the worse they are (a bit like my Yorkshire puddings)! The bought ones usually have a short shelf life which is not ideal as they are away straight after Christmas.
Any ideas would be welcome please.

Have you considered a basket of fruit? These can be made up by some of the independent greengrocers but they really aren't difficult to do yourself and you could include some small jars of conserves/pickles. If they're away shortly after Christmas then gift it soon and explain accordingly, that way they'll all get the pleasure from the present.

A side of smoked salmon or trout.

I have a deli shop near me which makes up bespoke hampers tailored to requests. Could you source something along those lines and include a few gluten and dairy free items.
