When it comes to vegan gift ideas, most people still tend to think of “food” - yet being vegan affects every area of your lifestyle.

Being vegan is a choice more and more people are making, and for good reason – it reduces animal suffering, and is also kind to the planet. Chances are you have at least one vegan on your Christmas gift list!

To please the vegan in your life, you’ll want gift ideas that are natural, ethical and chock full of organic goodness. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or another occasion, we’ve got you covered with our suggestions below!

8 Great Vegan Gift Ideas

A jar of Dolce Organico vegan meringues of course! They make the perfect addition to a luxury hamper, or you can choose from our popular gift packs like Family Faves or Taste of Italy. Thinking teacher’s gifts? Because they are made without the common allergens of eggs, dairy and gluten, you really can’t go wrong with Dolce Organico!
Vegan and cruelty-free makeup. Emani has a face bronzer that is suitable for all complexions and skin types, or you could try one of their organic lipstick gift sets.
Keen cooks might appreciate attractive pots of herbs such as coriander, basil, parsley, rosemary or lemongrass. Or how about a recipe book filled with scrumptious vegan recipes and glorious, glossy photos?
For the garden lover, why not consider a terrarium? You could also include practical items such as a watering can, hat or garden gloves.
Artistic types may drool over painting supplies to create their own masterpiece. However you will need to choose wisely; some paints use animal-based pigments, and look for synthetic paint brushes.
A selection of essential oils can make a thoughtful gift. Old-fashioned favourites like lavender, rose or tea tree oil never go out of style. A stressed-out friend may like peppermint oil to boost their energy, or sandalwood to calm their nerves.
While we are on the topic of scent, fragrant candles always make a great gift. In addition to being vegan and cruelty-free, soy candles have a longer burn time, and are less toxic than the usual paraffin type.
Finally, donating to a worthwhile cause on the recipient’s behalf is a selfless gift, especially if you choose a cause close to the person’ heart such as the RSPCA!

People don’t usually become vegans by accident; rather it is a thoughtful, conscious decision that aligns with personal values and beliefs.

So it is with gift-giving.

Buying vegan means there is extra love, care and attention paid to the selection of presents.

It takes time and effort to find meaningful gifts that cause no harm to animals or the environment, but it is well worth it. The earth – and your recipient - will thank you for it!
