Veganism has become increasingly mainstream, with the most popular vegan food, vegan cake, getting over 500,000 posts on Instagram alone. So, it goes without saying that you may have a few more vegan gifts to buy this year. Whether you’re vegan yourself and want to make sure you’re buying animal-friendly gifts for friends and family or want to show your support of someone close to you who has recently adapted their lifestyle, we’ve the perfect round up of Christmas vegan gifts.

1. Vegan Marshmallows

We asked the team at Notonthehighstreet for their favourite vegan Christmas gifts and they came through with some real treats! Give the gift of marshmallowy goodness this Christmas with this Vegan Marshmallow Toasting Kit by The Naked Marhsmallow Co.

A close second was the delicious Vegan and Cruelty free Radiance Coffee Scrub. By using organic fair trade coffee as the primary ingredient, it almost smells good enough to eat…or drink!

2. Vegan Hamper

Making it even easier to shop vegan, natural food marketplace Yumbles has hundreds of tasty vegan treats to choose from. If you’re not sure what they’d like, try their vegan hampers like this treat box from Beau Monde Bakery.

Or who could resist this cute little fella from Slabb?

3. Vegan Leather Wallet

You may have heard of Will’s Vegan Shoes, but did you know they now also do wallets? Shoes make for a slightly trickier Christmas gift but a vegan leather wallet or laptop case is as thoughtful as it is caring. Shop their vegan accessories for more inspiration.

4. Vegan Society Membership

What could be better for the vegan in your life this Christmas than a membership to the Vegan Society? Our friends over at the Vegan Society offer both a paper-based membership, including a hard copy of the Vegan Society Magazine delivered quarterly, and a paperless eco membership supplying the same benefits in a digital format. Both membership types can be purchased as gifts where the information can be sent to the purchaser, and not the recipient, with a personalised message included. They can also both be purchased as life memberships, meaning they do not expire.

5. Rescue an animal in need with PETA

There are a number of gift options that support the work of PETA, so what better gift for a vegan than one that helps support animals. PETA’s virtual gifts include a personalised e-card and all the money goes towards supporting animals, which you can donate on behalf of a loved one. You can also gift a PETA membership and support their cause.

How about a subscription to their favourite magazine? You can purchase an annual print or digital subscription to Vegan Life as a gift, with the print subscription costing £45 and a digital subscription costing £25.99.
