Someone we know quite well had the bright idea to give my husband two $50 gift cards to Olive Garden.
Why he didn't stop to think that a pasta restaurant wasn't the best choice for a family full of Celiacs is really confusing me.
Anyway, I'd like to trade the cards (I will split them up or trade them together) for some other gift cards I can actually use. Something that doesn't have to do with food is best, but it just so happens that the manager of our nearest Outback Steakhouse is very reliable and we are pretty comfortable eating there. So I'd trade for Outback cards.
Some ideas could be Old Navy, Gap, Land's End, Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, Gymboree... I'm open to suggestions.
Please send me a private message. I tend to respond much more quickly that way.

Well, of those restaurants you mentioned I've only ever heard of Red Lobster and I did know that there was a whole "chain" but most of them aren't available in my area. I'm sure there are exceptions and there may be individual stores where the manager is more allergy-aware than average and that takes their "gluten free menu" seriously. But as a rule, chain restaurants are dangerous places for people with serious dietary issues. Outback Steakhouse is better than most, but I've still been served salads full of crumbs left over from the croutons that someone picked off before sending it to my table. Not at my local one, though, where the manager is super strict about things like that and watches his kitchen staff closely.
