Easy & DIY Vegan Gifts

Now that we’ve shared our hand-picked list of goodies with you, we want to make clear that homemade and DIY gifts can be just as meaningful – if not more so – as store-bought ones! Sometimes just a simple gesture for that person can be all you need to make them feel appreciated, and it can save you money, too.

Some of our favorite DIY vegan gift ideas:

• Serve a vegan meal like a lentil loaf for everyone
• Give out some homemade vegan cookies in a jar
• Make some pretty & tasty coconut bliss balls
• Collect fresh herbs from your garden or gift them dried
• Create delicious spice mixes for home cooking
• Get a bottle of vegan wine or champagne
• Go out to a vegan restaurant together or get a voucher
• Gift a stay at a vegan hotel anywhere around the world
• Go on an adventure or fun trip together
• Watch a vegan documentary together to learn about veganism

As you can see, time and effort are sometimes worth more than a last-minute low-quality gift that you hectically picked up on your way to the party (haven’t we all been there?).

Vegan Gift Buying Guide

New to Veganism?

If you’re a vegan beginner and have managed to keep your home vegan thus far, it can seem super overwhelming to shop only vegan gifts for your friends and family.

Because veganism is a lifestyle that seeks to exclude, as much as practicable and possible, all unnecessary harm to animals in all areas of life, it does make sense to think about every single purchase that you make.

But if grandma gives you a new pair of woolen socks or your mother-in-law presents her non-vegan cookies, it’s up to you to decide if that’s a hard “no” for you at this point.

Take things at your own pace to ensure that you stick to the vegan lifestyle for good!

These Gifts Are Not Vegan

• Food containing meat, fish, eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin, whey, ghee or lard
• Beverages that have been filtered through egg whites or fish bladder
• Clothes, textiles or jewelry made out of fur, leather, wool, feathers, down, pearls or silk
• Beauty items and body products that have been tested on animals or contain ingredients such as beeswax, carmine or lanolin
• Homeware made with bone china and candles made with beeswax

This handy list enables you to check for yourself if you want to purchase a specific item.

Luckily, our hand-picked selection of vegan-friendly presents takes out the stress and offers a plethora of ideas to choose from!

Where to Find Vegan Gifts?

Nowadays, many stores offer vegan-friendly products. You don’t need to seek out super niche and expensive shops just to find something that’s fully vegan.

While it’s true that supporting 100% vegan businesses is a lovely idea and gesture, it isn’t very accessible to everyone and we think that buying a vegan-friendly item anywhere supports the vegan movement.

If you know that your giftee is especially concerned about the environment, you can look out for eco-friendly or recycled packaging or check to see whether a business is donating parts of their profits to charity.

The Greatest Gift: Support Veganism

Generally, one of the greatest gifts you can give to a vegan is to look into veganism yourself and understand what made this person in your life go vegan – you can get a feel for the most common and convincing reasons for a vegan lifestyle here. 

Providing some vegan food at the party or gathering is also a wonderful gift in and of itself because plant-based eaters aren’t always used to being catered for. 

Small gestures like this are already very helpful and heart-warming!
