Present-buying can strike the fear of God into the best of us.

With birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, World Vegan Day (this is actually a thing), that’s a heck of a lot of gifts to buy. Throw in a vegan or raw vegan family member or friend, and it’s enough to send you into blind panic.

Luckily, there’s endless options when it comes to epic gifts suitable for vegans, raw vegans, vegetarians and the vegan-curious alike, to the point where it’ll be pretty difficult to actually give said gifts, and not keep them for yourself.

‘Hmmm, my sister/best friend/cousin would sure love this luxurious bath bombs gift set. But you know you else would? Me.’

No judgement here.

Here’s the ultimate guide to buying vegan and raw vegan-suitable gifts for all occasions!

What to avoid buying for a vegan

So, before we get straight into what you could or should buy for vegans, it’s worth explaining the things you should probably avoid… unless you’re not too bothered about maintaining a positive relationship with said family member or friend, or if you really love awkward and very fake ‘thank yous’.

Here’s a list of things you should avoid when gift-buying for vegans!

Food which contains animal products

I know that a steak wouldn’t exactly be your first thought when buying gifts for vegans – or anyone for that matter – but you’d be surprised how much milk powder, honey and egg sneaks into seemingly vegan food products.

I’ve seen honey in apparently raw vegan truffles more times than I care to mention. (A lot). Just make sure, no matter what food product you’re buying or what it says on the label, that you check the ingredients list first!

Clothes and home ware which contain animal products

Again, it might seem like that lovely, fluffy throw is innocent, but check all textiles to ensure they’re not made from wool. It should always list the make-up of the product on the label.

Wool is obtained by very cruel methods, and so vegans and raw vegans probably won’t want it hanging around their house… especially when there’s so many beautiful, cruelty free alternatives available!

And whilst it might seem like even the most ardent of meat-eaters denounce the ridiculously cruel fur industry, you might also be surprised.

Beauty products that are tested on animals or contain animal products

Luckily, the world seems to be getting on board with the cruelty-free beauty movement. Because, really, who the heck wants a mascara that’s contributed to the torture of innocent animals? Not me, thank you very much!

With most brands and products, it’s pretty easy to see whether they have been tested on animals or note, and if the product contains any animal byproducts.

Honey and beeswax are two of the main culprits when it comes to hidden nasties in cosmetics, hair care and skincare… If you’re not sure, check online. Peta has a great list of companies that have vowed not to test on animals and many of their sites clearly explain which products are vegan.

There’s also a handy list of companies who’ve either admitted that they do test on animals, or ‘pledged’ to stop… which means that, right now, they still do… obviously.

Anything with excessive packaging

There are many reasons why people choose to eat a vegan or raw vegan diet: these ways of living are incredible for your health, incredible for the animals and, as the global discussion on climate change is finally revealing, incredible for the environment. No big deal. (It is a big deal.)

So it’s not guaranteed, but it’s likely that anyone who follows a cruelty-free lifestyle cares about protecting the environment and its resources. Whilst I’m not saying everything you buy for a vegan or raw vegan should be made of bamboo and contribute 50% of its profits to environmental charities, if you can, it’s worth giving a gift that isn’t unnecessarily harmful to the environment.

Take kids’ toys, for example. It seems like the packaging for most children’s toys is about enough to tip the planet over the edge, so imagine the global waste that’s produced when we carry on buying this stuff?

There are some amazing bamboo and wooden children’s toys available now, as more and more companies decide to change their environmentally destructive ways. Or, you could just give them a cardboard box, given how easily kids are entertained. Either or.

And the same goes for hair care and skincare. Instead of buying shampoos, conditioners and skin products in plastic tubs and bottles, there’s a heck of a lot of waste-free options available on the market: from shampoo bars to conditioner bars to moisturizing soaps that are completely plastic-free, it’s super easy to give a gift that’s kind to the recipient, and even kinder to the planet. And, let’s be honest, it’s kinda nice feeling so smug about saving the world.

Never buy the following for a vegan:

Food that is non-vegan, which means that it contains meat, eggs, fish, dairy, gelatin, whey or any other ingredients derived from animals.
Makeup, bath and beauty products that involves animal testing. These items should be cruelty-free.
Clothes or bedding made with fur, leather, silk, wool, down, feathers, leather or pearls.
Home products that are made with bone china.
Candles that are made from beeswax.
Non-vegan alcoholic drinks.

Vegan gift giving is not complicated. When you begin to recognize some of the rules, you will realize that it is easy to avoid giving unsuitable gifts to vegans.

If you are vegan: how to avoid getting non-vegan gifts

So, what if you’re vegan or raw vegan, and you’re worried about having to do that really awkward, super fake ‘Aw thank you, this leather handbag is just what I wanted’ (*starts to cry about all the poor cows involved in making of said handbag, making the whole situation even more awkward, and the next thing you know, Christmas is ruined)?

Alright, slight exaggeration, but there’s a simple way to avoid getting non-vegan gifts this Christmas, and guaranteeing a very genuine, non-weird ‘thank you’.

If you’ve been following a cruelty-free diet for a while, it’s likely that your family and friends are expert gift buyers, or getting there at least. Whilst it’s pretty obvious that you’re not gonna thank them for a leather purse, some gifts which appear on the surface to be suitable gifts for vegans, in fact have hidden animal products in them or cruel practices behind them, wool products and some cosmetics being prime examples.

A (very, very) gentle reminder that you’d like to avoid animal-tested or animal product-containing beauty products, home ware and food should do the trick. You’ve probably noticed (and I bet your friends and family have too) that it’s getting easier to choose vegan products. More and more food products, cosmetics, clothes and shoes and home ware is being labelled as ‘vegan’, which makes it easier than ever for your friends and family to buy you something awesome – and cruelty-free.

An even easier way to ensure a wonderfully vegan/raw vegan birthday, Christmas, graduation, Valentine’s gift is to send this article to whoever will be looking for a cruelty free gift for said occasion, and take the guess work out of it…. Once you’ve highlighted the gifts that you’d really love and ranked them in order of preference and put an asterisk against the ones you’d really really like, and you’ll be secretly be pretty upset if they don’t get. Then you can send it…

Vegan and raw vegan foodie gifts

1. Organic goji berries

It’s pretty well known at this point that goji berries, organic in particular, an absolute superstar of the health world, that’ll give your body a boost of vitality and wellness. Which isn’t bad going for a tiny berry… Yep, the hype is indeed true, and these organic goji berries are sure to make any vegan or raw vegan’s day. These incredible berries are jam-packed with beta-carotene, which contributes to beautiful, glowing skin, as well as vitamin C, helping to boost our immune systems, and prevent colds and other nasties. The main benefit, though, is that they look super fancy, so will instantly turn any smoothie bowl into an Instagram-worthy piece of art. Which is what we’re all looking for, right…

2. Raw truffles

Give the gift of decadence, without the decadence… if that makes any sense at all. Raw truffles, unlike the processed, illness-causing animal product-filled kind, allow for a seemingly luxurious treat, whilst actually doing the body nothing but good. Really, if an evening in with a great movie and pack of beautiful raw truffles isn’t living your best raw vegan life, I don’t know what is! These Raw Energy Dessert Truffles come in 8 luxurious flavors, including Mint Chocolate and Raspberry and Hazelnut Chocolate, and taste even more incredible than they sound.

If that wasn’t enough, these truffles are presented in a lovely gift box, making them the perfect gift for the vegans and raw vegans in your life. Sweet and tasty creaminess, without the sugar crashes afterwards and the negative effects on your health? Sold!

3. Raw Brownies

These seemingly indulgent Raw Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies make a perfect stocking filler, and are in fact healthy enough to munch on for breakfast! Honestly, I don’t know how raw vegans cope… These bits of awesomeness combine cocoa with walnuts, almonds and vanilla to create a seriously tasty treat, sure to satisfy even the sweetest of sweet-tooths!

4. Raw Hemp Seeds

If you’re not already familiar with raw hemp seeds and their seemingly limitless benefits, you need to be! This 2-pound pack of freshly harvested hemp seeds are high in fiber, omega fats, antioxidants, and completely stuffed with protein. The omega-3 fatty acids are fab for your heart and mind, and the extra fiber found in these beauties will give the gift of… you know. Happy birthday!

But what can your family member or friend actually do with them? Anything, it seems. Whip up some super crazy healthy hemp milk, some ranch dressing (Mind. Blown.) or even some raw hemp brownies. The gift recipient and their taste buds will thank you!

5. Raw Cashew Butter

Truly the King of the nut butter world, this incredibly creamy, you-could-totally-eat-it-all-in-one-sitting-cos-it’s-so-delicious raw cashew butter makes the perfect gift for the nut butter enthusiasts in your life! Whilst peanut, almond and hazelnut butters are certainly delicious, in my opinion, cashew butter is far superior. Its creaminess is unrivaled and given that they’re packed full of crucial vitamins and minerals like magnesium, zinc and copper, it’s not only doing wonders for your taste buds, but for your health too.

Spread it on apple slices, raw crackers or raw breads or why not make some super easy cashew butter balls, for quick energy on the go? And obviously I mean the gift recipient should make some out of the delicious cashew butter you bought them and give you the whole batch to say thank you… obviously.

6. Medjool Dates

Once a well-kept secret of the health food world, the benefits and sheer deliciousness of medjool dates are now known and celebrated worldwide. Their ability to make epic raw vegan alternatives to the Standard American staples we all loved (but did not love our health) like caramel, candy, ice cream and fudgy cookies, can all be replicated with the help of a pack of medjool dates.

Gift these to any vegan or raw vegan, and they will thank you for it… by ignoring you for the rest of the day whilst they scurry off into the kitchen to whip up something delicious. Stick around long enough, and you’re in for a treat.. literally.

These Coachella dates are hand picked in California, organic and come in a resealable pack, perfect for if the gift recipient can eat a few and actually close the pack again without eating all of them. I just don’t have the willpower.

7. Kelp Noodles

Kelp noodles are probably pretty new to even the most ardent vegans and raw vegans, but they deserve a place on the ultimate gift list for several reasons. Kelp is made from brown seaweed and often found in Korean cooking. This 2 x 12 oz pack of Sea Tangle Noodle Company Kelp Noodles are incredibly versatile, simple to prepare and rich in calcium, iron and vitamin K. Check out 6 vegan and raw vegan recipes with kelp noodles here, and give the gift of something new to the cruelty-free enthusiast in your life!

I mean, you just wouldn’t.

11. Vitamix Blender

If you’ve ever read any of my other articles, you’ll know that I’m a little obsessed with the Vitamix. In fact, if I had to choose between my husband and my trusty Vitamix, it wouldn’t be an easy decision. (I’d miss him, of course).

Give a Vitamix to a vegan or raw vegan loved one, and you’re sure to be loved and adored for the rest of your days. No big deal.

Yes, they might seem expensive, but with such a good quality, versatile piece of kitchen tech, it’s worth the price, and more. Read more about why I love them here. With a variety of models and options to suit different budgets, the Vitamix is a blender superstar, and will add a rainbow of beautiful colors to anyone’s daily diet. And you could leave the price tag on ‘accidentally’, just to show them how generous you are…

12. Mason Jars with Lids and Straws

You don’t have to be a hipster to own mason jars. In fact, they’re the perfect gift for vegetarians, vegans and raw vegans; we do love an aesthetically pleasing meal. Whip up some delicious blueberry swirl banana nice cream, a la Fully Raw Kristina, pack it into a mason jar, and there you have it: an Instagram ready pic of your breakfast. Okay, so it might be a little hipster-y, but I love them.

13. Bamboo Cutlery Set

It’s likely that any vegan or raw vegan in your life is a compassionate being, who cares about what happens to the planet. Cos we’re gonna struggle if we carry on destroying it…

Luckily, society is finally waking up to the dangers of plastic, which now pollutes ‘every corner of the earth’, and that’s where bamboo comes in. From toothbrushes to plates, bamboo is taking over the eco-friendly world, and this awesome, natural Bamboo cutlery set will make the perfect gift for an environmentally-conscious loved one this Christmas! A great set to take on the go, to picnics, or to use at home, the utensils come in a protective pouch and are packaged in a lovely gift box. Perfect for them, and the planet!

Have I mentioned that bamboo is pretty awesome? This gorgeous Bamboo Flask is completely leak proof, keeps drinks warm for 12 hours and cold for a whopping 24! Perfect for a coffee or tea-loving vegan, or a raw vegan who likes to keep their smoothies super cold and fresh on the go! Not only is this bamboo flask eco-friendly – and BPA free – but it looks lovely! With a geometric design and ‘only love’ on the front, it’ll make a great gift for caring vegans this festive season.

15. Coconut Bowls and Spoons Set

Not content with providing the world with tropical fruity goodness, (and an amazing hair and skin treatment – thank you coconut oil!), coconuts have extended their usefulness to include eco-friendly home ware. That’s right. This bowl and spoon set is made entirely from organic coconuts, which means no harmful plastic, chemical, or toxins. Presented in a gift box, this makes the perfect treat, and is great for those delicious smoothie bowls!

16. Food Processor

Any vegan or raw vegan cooking enthusiast will know that, to make some seriously stunning concoctions that impress even the most meat-eating of meat eaters, you’re gonna need a food processor. But with so many kitchen appliances available now, what actually is it?

Essentially, a food processor is an appliance sent from the vegan gods which allows you to grind, mince, slice, chop, puree and shred just about anything you need to.

It can be hard to navigate the saturated market, so allow me to introduce one of my favorites. This Cuisinart DFP-14BCNY 14-Cup Food Processor in Brushed Stainless Steel is a must-have for any vegan or raw vegan food enthusiast. With 720 watts, large 14-cup bowl and extra large feed tube, open up a whole new world of cruelty-free culinary artistry with this epic gift.

Just be warned… when you see it in action, you will have to buy your own. FYI.

17. Glass Straws

The world is finally waging war against completely-unnecessary-and-frankly-awful-for-the-environment plastic straws, and there are now more alternatives available than ever! You’ve probably seen bamboo straws before, but how about these nifty glass ones? With an elegant design, this set includes 8 straws, each measuring 10”, as well as cleaning brush to keep them in tip top condition! They’re durable, safe, heat and cold resistant, non-toxic, and suitable for pretty much any container. For use at home and on the go, help the vegan in your life save the world, one sip at a time…

18. Ice Cream Maker

Yes that says ice cream maker, and yes, both vegans and raw vegans can eat ice cream. And if they’re anything like me, eat it pretty much daily. (Before you gasp in horror, raw vegan ice cream, whilst as creamy as the ‘original’, is made entirely of bananas… check out this epic recipe for banana ice cream, and shock the kids into thinking you’re the best parent ever because you’re giving them a ‘treat’ at breakfast. *Evil laugh*.

19. Vegan Kitchen Wooden Sign

A lovely reminder that their kitchen is of a plant-powered nature, this ‘Vegan Kitchen’ sign will be loved by both vegans and raw vegans this year. Handmade and using stained wood, this rustic sign will look awesome in any cruelty-free kitchen!

23. Nut Milk Bag

Nut milks from almond to hazelnut to cashew are now, thankfully, readily available at pretty much every grocery store, health food store and even at most convenience stores. The times are a-changin’!

But if you’re a long-time vegan or raw vegan, you may remember the days of soya milk only – if you’re lucky – and having to make things from scratch if you wanted something as ‘exotic’ as almond milk. If you fancy going back to basics, whether just for the fun of it, because you like a challenge (although making nut milk at home really isn’t that hard) or you want a nuttier nut milk, making your own is the way to go!

This awesome hemp reusable nut milk bag is all natural, and perfect for making homemade nut milks for the recipient’s sipping pleasure! They’re heavy duty, great value and made with organic cotton threads.

Vegan Clothes and Accessories Gifts

24. Vegan for Health Planet and Animals T-Shirt

Aside from the myriad of health benefits that accompany a raw vegan lifestyle, not eating meat and dairy is obviously an incredible thing to do for the animal world. Over 56 billion are killed each year by humans. I know that that seems like a grossly overestimated figure, but, unfortunately, it’s true. So going raw vegan (or vegan of any form), has obvious benefits for the animals.

Aside from the needless cruelty involved, animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions, more than all forms of transport combined, so avoiding it directly helps to save the planet. This super cute vegan t-shirt should therefore be worn proudly, again and again! Featuring the text, ‘Vegan for health, for the planet, for the animals’, it makes the perfect present for a proud vegan.

25. Powered by Plants T-shirt

27. Corcor Vegan Belt

Unfortunately, like many bags and wallets, men’s and women’s belts are often made using animal leathers. Not only does leather involve needless killing, but it has a pretty devastating effect on the environment. But that doesn’t mean that vegans and raw vegans have to live life with their ever so slightly too baggy jeans falling down every 2 seconds.

Enter this awesome Corkor Vegan Belt for Women, an ethical and stylish alternative to leather belts.

With a smooth and premium feel, non-stretchy material and fine details, this cork belt is available in three colors – light brown, brown and black – to accessorize any cruelty-free outfit. These fantastic quality belts are built to last and made from premium cork, which is obtained from trees without cutting or harming them, so they’re much better for the environment and our planet than their leather counterparts.

You think they’re crying, but actually they’re explaining why they’re vegan…
