A Vegan's Christmas Gift Guide

There are only 17 days until Christmas. If you've done all of your Christmas shopping by now, I commend you. If you are far from it, join the club and keep reading for Christmas gift ideas.

All of these ideas were carefully curated for their environmentally friendly and generally awesome qualities. Gift any one of these and you're sure to win over your vegan buddies this Christmas.

The Vegan Gift Box ($26.95-$149.95)
Gift the discovery of the best new and exciting cruelty-free products without all of the tedious label reading. From as little as $26.95, send your friend 1-6 boxes of either the regular Vegan Box or The Beauty Box, filled with snacks and cooking ingredients or the best of the newest beauty buys.

Pana Chocolate Gift Pack ($29.90)
Vegan or not you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn't be happy with this specialty handcrafted chocolate. Everything from Pana is raw, organic, homemade, vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and refined sugar free. So it's kinda healthy, right? Place your order before December 18 for pre-Christmas delivery.

Vegan Wine
Impress with the best bottles of vegan wine after consulting with Barnivore. Or grab one of my often-tried and tested favourites from Brown Brothers, Yalumba, Shingleback Red Knot or Gemtree Dragon's Blood.

  1. That candy looks yummy! What makes wine vegan? Or what makes "regular" wine non vegan? I never thought of wine being non vegan before?

    2. Same here! Haha :)
      I was surprised about wine containing animal products too. A lot of alcohol production companies use egg and/or milk products in the process. Luckily although most don't have an ingredient list on the bottle they do need to print on the label if it contains egg or milk. Who would've thought!
      Good luck with the wedding and Christmas preparations x
