Adopting a plant-based diet is just the tip of the iceberg for vegans. In reality, veganism is an all-encompassing lifestyle choice that involves a conscious decision to steer clear of animal products. And, because of this… it can be a little tricky knowing exactly what is on and off-limits when purchasing vegan gifts for him.
Many traditional men’s gifting options include leather goods, woolly knitwear, and cosmetics products that may have been tested on animals. In my experience, it can take a while to find the perfect gift that is ethical, vegan, plus something he’ll genuinely be pleased to receive (and I say this as a vegan myself, so it’s a tall order if you’re not!).
Whether you’re a vegan who is looking to purchase in line with your values or you have a vegan friend or family member that you’re looking to buy for, you can rest assured that I have combed the internet for presents that are both vegan-friendly and eco-conscious. This means that you’ll be supporting some lovely brands in the process.
Let’s take a look at my favourite vegan-friendly gift ideas for him in the UK!
