Vegan Gift Guide 2024

We're back with warm wishes for the festive season and a round-up of vegan gift ideas

Whether you're gifting for Christmas, birthdays, yourself or any other celebration, all the products in our 2024 vegan gift guide are certified with the Vegan Trademark so you can be assured they contain no animal ingredients and have not been tested on animals by the company or on its behalf. That leaves you with the merry mission of picking the perfect gift for your loved ones (and you!)

If you're not vegan but shopping for vegan friends, a colleague or family member, this vegan gift guide may be especially handy for you but of course, these gifts are suitable for everyone!

For your green fingered friends

For the friend whose sanctuary is their garden and houseplants, Sowvital have a beautiful range of gardening and plant care products, from outdoor fertilisers to elixirs for indoor plants and flowers so they can really engage in their daily dose of green, whatever the season. What could be a more perfect vegan gift?

For the loved one who's a sucker for scents

If you know the vibe your loved ones are into, you can't go wrong with vegan fragrances. Check out these:

• AMNIENS recently launched two new beautiful functional fragrances that you can apply to your pulse points. Try calming Nebbia All'alba and energising Colpo Dell'onda.
• LUSH have a range of vegan perfumes including Karma and Sun, as well as their iconic scented bath products of course – just look out for the Vegan Trademark.
• For affordable perfumes, you could also explore Eden Perfumes. They make unique blends as well as vegan dupes similar to designer brands such as No.004, inspired by Ultraviolet.

For the sweet-toothed friend

Vegan food gifts are a simple but excellent choice, especially when it's vegan chocolate. Whether you're putting together a vegan gift basket or taking something sweet to a party, here are some great vegan treats to include:

• Raw Halo's vegan chocolate is made with ingredients from small organic farms in a social enterprise chocolate factory, naturally sweetened with coconut sugar.
• Booja Booja has some gorgeously packaged selection boxes of vegan chocolate including their new Winter Collection as well as A Grand Adventure and A Magnificent Adventure.
• Bennetto’s range of vegan chocolate bars are not only certified vegan but also certified organic, Fairtrade and carry the B Corp certification, all wrapped up in quirky packaging.
• Galaxy Vegan's Dairy & Gluten Free Selection Box, available at Tesco, is easy to get your hands on and the perfect gift for that vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free friend.

For your furry friends

Let’s face it, they’re the most pampered members of the family and we’re all for including them on the Christmas presents list! Some vegan gift options to consider for your companion animals:

• bECOsy orthopaedic, washable, waterproof and wipeable bed for dogs and cats
• Obvs Skincare Organic Sea Salt Soap and Balm for dogs
• Pikes Pouches Neem & Tea Tree and Oatmeal & Lavender dog shampoo bars
• Pikes Pouches Organic Hemp Seed Oil for Dogs & Cats
• Cats and the City Tofu Cat Litter

For the friend who loves a good pamper

• Asda's affordable Relax Lavender & Oatflower gift set is a great Secret Santa option and offerings like their Body Butter Trio make for a great stocking stuffer. There's plenty more like these, proudly carrying the Vegan Trademark on the front of packaging so you can easily spot which ones are vegan friendly.
• Bayliss & Harding's range of luxury vegan gift sets in their Wellness and Wellness For Men ranges – also displaying the Vegan Trademark on the front of packaging.
• Wildsmith Skin's premium skincare is a great gift if you're looking to spend a bit more and spoil a loved one. Their Super Hydrating Overnight Mask is a lovely indulgent gift for those who love an evening pamper.
• Silvan Skincare's Hands and Feet gift set is a gorgeous gift for hard-working hands and feet that need some TLC. The set comes beautifully wrapped in an organic cotton drawstring bag to save you the job of wrapping!

For the fashion lover

Shone's Statement Knitwear is the perfect splurge for a very special loved one (or you). They're the first bio nylon made products to be registered with the Vegan Trademark and have featured on catwalks at both London and Birmingham fashion weeks!

For the wellness seekers (and their babies)

Is your bestie really into wellness but their toxic trait is always forgetting to top up on their vitamins? Help them change their ways by gifting them a bulk supply of our VEG 1 multivitamin. Our VEG 1 range has something for the whole family, from six months right through to adulthood. Including sought-after nutrients like vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine and selenium, the VEG 1 range blends convenience and affordability, all while prioritising health.

Shop on our website or eBay.

For your ‘underconsumption core’ pal

Do you have a vegan pal who is all about underconsumption and living an eco-conscious lifestyle? A practical and eco-friendly gift they’ll get daily use out of is always a great shout. Here are some subscriptions and bulk orders you might want to explore:

• Nuud Gum's plastic free, sugar free and biodegradable chewing gum.
• For cleaning and laundry needs, give them the gift of a bulk order from Fill, a zero waste closed loop household refill company.
• You can't get more practical than toilet roll! Even better when they're made from planet friendly materials like bamboo. Check out The Cheeky Panda and Bumboo (whose limited-edition festive loo roll wraps you can recycle to wrap your gifts and make Christmas crackers with.)

For those around your Christmas table

If you love Christmas crafting and want to have a go at making your own crackers this year, here are some small gifts to fill them with:

• Tisserand essential oils like their Eucalyptus, Bergamot and Tea Tree oils
• Nails.Inc Plant Power vegan nail polishes. They have 37 Vegan Trademarked shades like Flex My Complex, the perfect berry shade for winter.
• Mummy Meegz Choccy Balls.

For the cosy crafts enthusiast

For the friend, family member or colleague who loves knitting, crocheting and crafting, Wool And The Gang offer yarns certified with the Vegan Trademark in their Shiny Happy Cotton, Big Love Cotton, Ra-Ra Raffia and Tina Tape ranges.

Give your vegan gifts an extra special touch by wrapping them in Bumboo's festive loo roll wraps and tying them up in simple cotton bows and pompom or macrame tassels using Wool And The Gang vegan yarns. Look out for a gift-wrapping reel coming to our Instagram this December for inspiration!
