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!).
Delicious Vegan Hampers
Vegan-Friendly Kitchenware
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.
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.
11. Planty Gift Voucher
For chef-made ready meals that just need popping in the microwave, a Planty voucher will be gratefully received by any vegan recipient (especially good for uni students!).
