If you have a friend or family member who has recently gone plant-based, then it can feel a little overwhelming knowing where to start with vegan Christmas gifts. As the festive season approaches, you may find yourself asking questions like:

What can and can’t I buy any more? Are some products now totally off-limits? What stocking fillers are there that don’t involve a Terry’s Chocolate Orange?!

Or, perhaps you’re a long-standing vegan who only wants to buy plant-based gifts. Whatever your stance, I’m here to provide you with some much-needed inspiration to find the perfect Christmas gift (minus the animal products). From a touch of luxury to the ideal stocking filler, there’s something vegan-friendly for every taste and budget.

From vegan sweet treats to an ingenious tofu press, take a look at these 50+ vegan-friendly gifts for your loved ones.

For Vegan Foodies

Plant-based diets are all the rage at the moment, and with the numerous benefits (e.g. personal health, sustainability, ethics) – it’s really no surprise! The vegan gift ideas in this section are ideal for anyone who misses cheese, loves some deluxe snacks, or wants to cook up a feast in the kitchen.

Plant-Based Cheeses

1. La Fauxmargerie Bundle

If your vegan friend misses a full cheeseboard, then La Fauxmargerie are the UK’s first plant-based cheesemonger. For something a little more exciting than your Violife supermarket basics, you’ll need to act quickly, because their delicious bundle is a regular sell-out (which can only be a good sign!).

2. The Big Vegan Cheese Making Kit

Developed by vegans who were largely disappointed by shop-bought vegan cheese (believe me, the struggle is real), the Big Vegan Cheese Making Kit will keep your vegan recipient stocked up with enough ingredients to make 6 different cheeses in 20 batches.

3. Starter Culture Vegan Cheese Selection

Who said the cheese board had to be off the menu?! Starter Culture’s Vegan Cheese selection includes mouthwatering cashew-based cheese varieties like Truffle, Farmhouse, Smoked and Spirulina Blue.

I am all about a minimal kitchen, but for a vegan who regularly eats tofu, this tofu press by Tofuture is a nifty contraption that could be the answer to all their soy-based prayers.

8. Springlane Vegan Milk Maker

A great gift for anyone who loves their plant-based nut drinks. With a quality nut milk maker, not only do you have absolute control over every ingredient that goes into each bottle (no sugars or artificial sweeteners in sight) – it also works out a lot cheaper in the long run than buying readymade cartons.

9. Rowen Stillwater Vegan Wax Wraps

If your eco-conscious friend no longer wants to use beeswax wraps but hasn’t been able to find an alternative up to now, then look no further! This set comes in three different designs that can be washed, reused and composted.

For No Shipping Required

If you’re looking for truly zero-waste gifts, then consider going digital (also a life-saver when you’ve left things a bit last minute and missed the last Christmas postage dates – I won’t tell if you don’t!).

A Gift Card for a Vegan Store

10. Immaculate Vegan Gift Card

Immaculate Vegan is the place to go for ethical vegan fashion. Launched in 2019 to help people make better choices that positively impact people, planet and animals when they shop, this makes a fab gift if you’re feeling stuck for ideas.
