The only toothpaste on the market to have all of the following five certifications: vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, animal cruelty-free. SprinJene Natural® toothpastes are free-from: SLS, animal byproducts, artificial dyes and preservatives and saccharine. Their efficacy is made possible by natural, quality ingredients, such as coconut oil, acacia gum, and birch tree xylitol. Kids, Fluoride-free and Sensitivity options are available.

Every SprinJene toothpaste features an innovative, patented blend of black seed oil and zinc. Zinc works as a natural antibacterial agent to help prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight gingivitis (gum disease), Black Seed Oil causes the Zinc to adhere to teeth and gums and keep working long after your brush your teeth.

Unlike many toothpastes, SprinJene is made with fine, round shaped microsilica, versus the traditional coarse, sharp-edged silica found in most mainstream toothpastes. Microsilica is safer on enamel and gums and cleans and whitens teeth gently.

This cookbook is vegetarian without being in-your-face about it and the recipes are both delicious and inventive. This book will help the recipient figure out what to do with just about any vegetable that they can find at the farmer's market. I should mention that there is a dessert section, so this book shouldn't be off-putting to the vegetarians who aren't doing it for health reasons. If

 the person happens to reside in the Columbus, OH area, I highly recommend gifting them a trip to one of the Little Eater restaurants. These restaurants were founded by Ms. Mangini and serve vegetarian dishes similar to those found in her cookbook.

This is a great gift for an adventurous vegetarian baker, in addition to those who are looking for gluten-free flours due to celiac disease. These flours tend to be pricey compared to wheat flour, and the baker may not want to buy these for themselves for that reason. There are lots of fun-sounding recipes online that use these, such as double pumpkin bread, which uses both canned pumpkin and some pumpkin flour. There are a lot of possibilities for baking with these.
