Veganism is so much more than a lifestyle—and you don’t want to forget that when the holidays roll around. Your vegan pal might love a present that alludes with their philosophy around food. It might seem like your shopping list is limited here, but trust us, there are plenty of great vegan gifts out there.
To take the guesswork out of shopping for them, we hand-picked a wide range of items—from award-winning chocolate to dairy-free cheese. Plus, we also found items that they can use outside of the kitchen, like cruelty-free beauty products, a self-growing indoor herb garden, and a snarky pair of socks.
When searching for vegan-friendly products, look for items with verifications like the V-label, denoted with the letter “V” in the shape of a leaf. We made sure all of the gifts on this list are V-label compliant.
Below, find our list of the best vegan gifts that will keep them feeling full and fulfilled this holiday season. And for even more gifting ideas, check out our top picks for vegetarians, Amazon shoppers, and foodies, too.
