We’re back with another round-up of unique Christmas gifts so you can focus on the joys of gifting this festive season and beyond.

 

Our gift to you

Everything covered in this list of Christmas gift ideas is Vegan Trademark certified so we’ve done the hard work to ensure they’re suitable for vegans, taking the pressure off you so you can indulge in the joy of choosing the perfect gifts for your loved ones (and you!)

The Vegan Society’s Christmas Hamper

Who doesn’t love a hamper to savour the festive spirit over the days after Christmas? Our first gift recommendation is an extra special one as it’s one we put together ourselves with our Trademark holders and in partnership with The Goodness Project. It’s a first for The Vegan Society and packed with delicious Vegan Trademark certified treats from Italian sparkling wine to fudge, all wrapped up in recyclable packaging and a tree planted with every purchase. It’s perfect for a kind, sustainable and eclectic Christmas present this year.

See what’s inside and purchase it via The Goodness Project.

The Gift of Fun

The Vegan Society has also just launched a fun merch collection that makes for perfect gifts. Ranging from a vegan keyring to tote bags and t-shirts, there’s something to suit every budget. We recommend one of our plastic-free badges for the perfect stocking stuffer, suitable for children and adults alike.

 Available on our online shop.

Something Sparkling

It isn’t Christmas without a little sparkle. Plus, we all have that one friend who’s obsessed with kombucha. If you’re wanting to gift someone a luxurious, non-alcoholic sparkling beverage or want to contribute to festive dinner parties or the Christmas table, Mighty Brew’s premium cork and cage Heritage Kombucha range is the perfect gift. Choose from their Jasmine Bellini, Rose Blush or Elderflower Sec kombuchas. They’re all Soil Association Organic and Vegan Trademark certified and a nice gut-friendly, non-alcoholic alternative with all the luxury of Champagne and Prosecco.

Available at Mighty Brew’s website and Ocado.

A Scent-sory Delight

UpCircle’s beautifully bottled perfumes Flaura and Santelle, made with 16 upcycled botanicals between them, are delightful and sustainable gifting options. In true UpCircle style, they’re refillable and come with the option of being gift-wrapped in furoshiki cloth, an eco-friendly alternative to disposable wrapping paper, meaning you have one less present to wrap. Your gift receiver can keep the circular economy in motion by gifting the cloth as part of a present, too, or returning it for you to re-use. The glass bottle can also be upcycled for décor or sent back to UpCircle to be refilled at 20% less than the standard product price.

Sweet Things

Another treat Christmas is simply not complete without. Here are just a few sweet Christmas present ideas for gifting either on their own or why not create a personalised bundle?

Loopeco Luxury Skincare

The gift that gives back… Launched on Earth Day 2021, Loopeco’s luxury vegan skincare was curated to benefit skin, well-being and the planet using upcycled ingredients from the food industry and plastic-free packaging. Loopeco reduce water consumption across their supply chain as much as possible. They have also partnered with Carbon Footprint to commit to carbon neutrality, as well as to help bring clean drinking water to villages in Uganda. If that wasn’t enough to make this a thoughtful Christmas gift, the range is beautifully designed and luxuriously scented to make your loved one feel truly pampered. Bonus - it will look great in their home too!

ASDA Gift Sets

ASDA also have festive bath bombs including their Santa Soak Bath Fizzer as well as a large selection of affordable beauty kits and pamper gift sets to choose from if you're hoping to ace your gifting game on a budget. With different collections for kids and adults alike, these gifts would be a wonderful last-minute option, thanks to their accessibility in local ASDA stores.

Christmas Kicks

Indulge the sneaker obsessive in your life with some vegan Superdry trainers from their Basket Lux range, including styles like their Vegan Basket Lux high tops and Vintage Vegan Basket low tops. It’s a stylish and practical present all wrapped in one.

Practical Presents

Speaking of practical Christmas presents, here are a few more that your near and dear will be bound to love and get good use out of!

Lavender and Lemon Cleaning Products

Made with organic, biodegradable ingredients that are Cosmos and EcoCert approved, free from phthalates, synthetic fragrance, and harmful chemicals, and packaged in stylish aluminium bottles that are refillable, Lavender and Lemon cleaning products are a great eco-friendly and practical gift. Their products include an All Purpose Cleaner, Cleaning Powder, Gentle Laundry Detergent and Washing Up Liquid.⁠ The festive period can get overwhelming and messy fast, with hosting friends and family, preparing tasty food, and maybe little ones running around causing chaos, so these gifts may be a welcome addition to the house on Christmas morning.

Bumboo Toilet Paper

With every box purchased of Bumboo’s soft, vegan bamboo toilet paper, Bumboo plant a tree by working with Eden Reforestation Projects which helps communities devastated by deforestation to restore forests and their livelihoods. For a limited time, the rolls come wrapped in festive paper, perfect for you to reuse as gift wrap. Check out their Instagram for fun ideas on how to upcycle their packaging for the festive season and beyond.

VEG 1 and VEG 1 Baby & Toddler Vitamins 

There’s nothing like, quite literally, nourishing your loved ones in time for all the festive fun and beyond - what better way to do that than by having them topped up on vitamins? Our VEG 1 multivitamin range has something for the whole family, from six months right through to adulthood. Including sought-after nutrients vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine and selenium, the VEG 1 range blends convenience and affordability, all while prioritising health.

Shop on our website, Etsy or eBay.
