More and more people are turning to veganism as a compassionate and health-conscious lifestyle, so that means you probably have at least a few veg-heads in your life. And at some point, you’re going to have an occasion to give a gift to those vegan friends, family, or office mates. And to remove any anxiety about what to get them, and to make sure you’re prepared for gift giving all year round, we’ve created a delicious and inspiring vegan gift guide.
This list includes practical food items, like cooking oils, and some impractical but lovely items (macarons!). Many of the items are budget-friendly, but there are a few items on the list, like my favorite juicer and everyone’s favorite air fryer, that give you a chance to splurge on your favorite vegan. Some of these are personal favorites, like the delectable chocolate companies, but others are gleaned from friends, trusted sources, and other bloggers with smart ideas about how to best take care of ones we love.
We hope you enjoy our gift guide! What’s the best vegan-friendly gift you’ve ever given or received? We look forward to hearing what your best gift ideas are in the comments.
Cookbooks

Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap 6-Pack
Not only are Dr. Bronner’s soaps all natural and smell delicious, but they’recertified vegan by Vegan Actionand certified fair trade. This 6-pack is perfect for the vegan in your life and includes peppermint, lavender, almond, rose, citrus, and unscented.
Air Fryer
Air Fryers are (still) the kitchen appliance of the year. I can’t count how many bloggers are literally reinventing cooking with these awesome gadgets. Just use a teaspoon of oil and make crispy fries, baked tofu, fried veggies, roasted nuts and more. I’m not sure why I don’t own one yet myself!
Mushroom Growing Kit
Get funky from Back to the Roots和他们的蘑菇种植套件。几年前我就种了一个这样的小盒子,每天都喜欢看蘑菇生长。然后再吃!If you want to grow more than mushrooms, they also offer herb and vegetable kits that are equally adorable.
Vegan Cuts Monthly Vegan Snack Box Delivery
Editor Note:Who doesn’t love snacks delivered right to their front door?! New for our 2018 gift guide,Vegan Cutsis a monthly subscription box that offers both vegan snack boxes and vegan beauty supplies. When I received my box I was pretty impressed with the diversity of snacks that were included. Everything from plant-based protein powder to pancake mix to veggie chips!
My personal favorite from December’s box was Mozaicz organic veggie and potato chips. They were just the right amount of spicy and I found myself eating the whole bag… in one sitting.
For just under $20 a month, you get 10 different vegan snacks and goodies delivered to your door. This would be a great gift for any vegan, but particularly new vegans that are interested in learning more about the different vegan brands that are available to them. Maybe the vegan in your life is also a beauty aficionado? Vegan Cuts also offers both monthlynatural beauty boxesandquarterly makeup boxes.

不过要注意材料:许多天然床垫含有羊毛(羊毛是一种天然阻燃剂)。但是很多品牌都提供不含羊毛的睡眠选择,让你的身体和良心睡个安稳觉。Some brands that offer natural mattresses areCozy Pure,Good Night Naturals, andFlobeds.

Omega Juicer
Give the gift of health with a juicer! Fresh juices are a great way to amp up your health, but packaged juices can get expensive (nevermind all that plastic you’re wasting!). A juicer is about $300-$500, but will produce delicious juice for years to come. I own an Omega masticating juicer and it’s the best for leafy greens (like dandelion, parsley, spinach) and has worked great for more than four years.
杂志订阅
VegNewsis a great standby, but newer magazines likeOrigin,Thrive, andMantraoffer vegan lifestyle and green living vibes. I follow all of these brands on Instagram and they are beautiful, colorful, and very fun. For those that only use their digital devices for reading,Vegan Lifestyle杂志是一个充满美味的新选择。

Samudra Skin & Sea Skincare
There are lots of good vegan body care products out there, but some take it to the next level. I love Samudra Skin & Sea. This organic, vegan body care line is created with wild seaweed and food-grade ingredients. Their deeply nourishing facial cream, body butter, soap/shampoo, and detoxifying face mask are packaged in beautiful zero-waste packaging made from bamboo, glass, and FSC-certified paper.

Macaroons are beautiful, edible art… but most are made with egg whites, leaving them on the table for vegans. But these beautiful macaroons (sold by the dozen) will feed cravings for these fancy treats without the animal ingredients.
Patagonia Soups
Patagonia Provisions is a new line of foods from the iconic outdoor gear and clothing company. Patagonia does a lot of things right in their triple-bottom-line business, and even though their line of Provisions is not fully vegan, their line of 10-minutes soups and chilis are. These quick-cooking, lightweight foods are ideal for backpacking or just busy days at the office when you need real nourishment and flavor.
Coffee + Cream
So many of my friends are currently obsessed with this Mushroom Coffee from Four Sigmatic, made with immune-boosting and brain-loving mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Chaga.
And to pair with your mushroom brew (no, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms!) you can share a sample pack of yummy plant-based creamers from NutPods. I like the French Vanilla, but all their flavors are delicious and perfectly creamy for all your coffee needs.
Thrive Market Subscription
Thrive Marketis an online marketplace full of all the foods you’d buy at your local natural foods store, with discounts of up to 25-50%. A gift card can cover the annual cost of membership ($60) and you can throw in a few extra dollars to stock up on their array of vegan pantry and body care items.
Vegan Chocolate
There are lots of excellent brands producing high-quality chocolate. Some of my favorites includeMadre Chocolate (Hawaii), which offers a vegan line of chocolates using Hawaiian and Latin American cacao along with a range of delicious infusions (ginger, jaboticaba, pink peppercorns). Try their limited edition bar club once or sign up as an ongoing subscription. Another favorite of mine isLive a Lot Chocolate (San Francisco).该公司的两姐妹通过加入超级食物的巧克力棒和可可冥想工作坊,将巧克力变成了一种医疗实践。
Tea Gift Boxes
没有什么比一杯热的有机草药、绿色或黑色啤酒搭配素食饼干或早餐更让我开心的了。如果你的素食主义者喜欢喝茶,我没有什么比波特兰的Townshend’s tea更好的推荐了。这家公司生产的茶是我喝过的最可爱的茶,包括草药黑森林茶,还有我的大茶,茉莉花珍珠。
Power Snacks
Navitas Naturals is an incredible superfoods company. A few years ago they added a line of snacks and bars to their product list, and this variety pack is an excellent way to stock your friend up for all the hiking, workouts, or long days at work they will face. Flavors include Cacao Goji, Blueberry Hemp, and Citrus Chia.
Kombucha Starter Kit
For the ferment novice, a Kombucha starter kit can get them set up quickly to have fresh, homemade kombucha in their kitchen. You can nurture your SCOBY and then pass it on once you have your brews to share!

Local produce and natural preservation methods are the ethos that informs Maui Preserved. Their Hot Hot Sauce is made out of Maui onion and Hawaiian Chile peppers.
