Shopping for vegans at Christmas isn’t as hard as you may think! There are plenty of great vegan presents available from supermarkets, department stores, and online retailers. Here are some of the best vegan-friendly gift ideas to get you started.
FOOD GIFTS
There’s no shortage of vegan Christmas foods, selection boxes, and advent calendars these days. Whether you’re shopping for chocoholics or cheese lovers, you’re sure to find the right present.
Whether you want the chocolate to be a part of the gift or the entire gift, Rose City Chocolatier has you covered. They offer assortments from 16 chocolate pieces all the way up to their signature “towers,” which consist of up to eight boxes stacked on top of each other, containing over 140 chocolates in total.
No Whey’s line of vegan and allergy-friendly chocolates has been making its way into more grocery stores than ever. From chocolate truffles and peppermint bark to chocolate lollipops and hot cocoa bombs, No Whey is here to make sure the vegans on your list don’t miss out!
This is the gift that keeps on giving! Treat someone to a selection of vegan goodies every month with a Vegancuts gift subscription. You can gift the lifestyle boxes for one, three, six, or twelve months!
- Vegan Cheese Assortment
Who doesn’t love a festive cheese platter? Simply head to the grocery store and pick out a few artisanal cheeses from companies like Miyoko’s Creamery or Violife, toss them in a basket with some vegan crackers, and you have a scrumptious gift without any hassle!
BATH AND BEAUTY GIFTS
Many of us look forward to receiving bath and body pampering essentials at Christmas, and vegans are no different!
- Aveda (various options)
This affordable professional brand offers vegan gifts for any gender, including body lotion, haircare, and cosmetics.
- Pinrose Perfumes (100% vegan brand)
If you’re looking for a vegan and cruelty-free fragrance that smells like a luxury brand but retails at an affordable price, check out Pinrose! They even offer sample sets in case you aren’t sure of your gift recipient’s scent preference.
- Truly Shave Kits and Accessories
This vegan shave and skincare gift set is sure to be well-received on Christmas day!
COOKING AND BAKING GIFTS
You can’t go wrong with a good old book! These make thoughtful gifts for people thinking about trying vegan but don’t know where to start.
- How to Go Vegan book and Vegan Kit by Veganuary
Our best-selling book or card deck are the perfect gifts for the vegan-curious. They’re both full of tips and advice on going vegan, covering topics such as raising vegan children and navigating veganism and faith. There are plenty of cooking tips too!
If you’re shopping for a new vegan or vegan-curious, “easy” is the keyword when looking for a cookbook. There are plenty of amazingly diverse and complex recipes out there. But for anyone who is just starting off, we recommend easy, quick, and delicious recipes.
vegan GIFT baskets
A basket brimming with goodies will definitely get you in any vegan’s good books. They tend to sell out fast, so you’ll have to be quick!
You’ll find all kinds of vegan assortments on Bunny James’ website. But specializing in specialty diets, the entire site is not vegan-friendly. So be sure to order the right one!
This is another subscription option but curated specifically for the spiritual vegan in your life. Including items like crystals, divination tools, self-care items, and jewelry, this basket of goodies will be sure to please the recipient’s inner goddess!
This is ideal for those who enjoy a more traditional gift basket. Choose from a variety of vegan baskets including the breakfast, pantry, and snack baskets!
Alternatively, why not get creative and put your own basket together? This means you can tailor it to the recipient, and it shows that you’ve put thought into your gift. Fill it with cooking and cupboard essentials, or go for a combination of food, beauty products, and stocking stuffers.
Eco-Friendly Gifts
Dreaming of a green Christmas this year? It’s easy to shop sustainably with these unique, eco-friendly Christmas gifts that are kind to the planet.
- Vegan leather clothes, shoes, and accessories
An ethical wardrobe upgrade is the ultimate Christmas gift! Online shops such as Will’s Vegan Store, Moo Shoes, and Miomojo offer eco-friendly alternatives to leather shoes, belts, bags, and clothing.
These make ideal gifts for someone trying to reduce their environmental impact.
GIFT cardS
If you’re really stuck for ideas, there’s one fail-safe option: Gift cards! The internet is teeming with vegan items, and that can be a bit daunting. Be sure they’ll get exactly what they like by gifting them a gift card from online retailers like Vegan Essentials or GTFO, It’s Vegan!
CHARITY DONATIONS
Lots of vegans have causes close to their hearts. Donating to charity is a special gift that will make a difference. Whether it’s a local animal shelter or sanctuary, or an organization like Veganuary, your donation is a thoughtful gesture that will be appreciated.
