Veganism has been a very popular lifestyle option in recent years, as people have become increasingly concerned about the plight of the world and the health risks involved with eating meat. Even though restaurants, businesses, and brands are becoming more vegan-friendly, finding the perfect gift for those who prefer to forego animal products entirely can still be challenging.
Vegan Gift Ideas
Delicious Vegan Hamper
Hampers are one of those traditional gifts that people enjoy receiving but rarely purchase for themselves. They make you feel unique, and the thrill of rummaging through them and discovering what's inside is practically unrivalled. What's great about vegan hampers is that they introduce you to foods and products you might not otherwise encounter on traditional grocery shelves.
Since hampers have gone beyond the traditional wicker form to more inventive containers recently, when the contents are reduced to crumbs, the lucky recipient is typically left with a lovely basket, box, or crate that can be used for years!
Moreover, the vegan hampers boom on the market has resulted in a wide selection of products. So, you can now opt for a tasty gift box consisting of 100% vegan ingredients, filled with healthy chocolate treats and a glass of special selection wine for all your plant-loving besties!
Vegan Briefcase
The briefcase has undergone a significant transformation from its original rectangular, bulky, and boxy shape. Vegan briefcases now come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and some even resemble totes or satchels to provide unisex accessibility.
This convenient plant-based gift is typically made of vegan leather, cork, eco-polyurethane, organic cotton canvas, and even recycled plastic bottle polyester, and is available in a variety of forms, sizes, and colours. It's difficult to go wrong with a practical, sustainable, and trendy gift!
Recyclable Tote Bag
Over the shoulder tote bag made from entirely recyclable and sustainable fabric, can be the perfect gift for all environmentally conscious pals as these bags after reaching the end of their lifecycle are either decomposed and fertilise the soil, or may be recycled to generate a new bag. They are usually water-resistant, made with high-quality stitching to carry heavy loads whilst remaining comfortable as it fits snug around the shoulder. Depending upon the manufacturer, some eco-friendly tote bags can even be folded away into small ones!
Bamboo Travel Mug
A bamboo travel mug is a terrific corporate gift if your company relies on travel or if you have in the field or on the go staff. Bamboo travel mugs are composed entirely of bamboo and recyclable silicone and may be recycled once they've reached the end of their useful life. Because some takeaway coffee cups still contain microplastics that might harm the ocean, bamboo travel mugs are a good alternative to takeaway coffee cups. Furthermore, most takeaway establishments now gladly fill a customer's recyclable cup, allowing them to continue enjoying their favourite on-the-go coffees while also being more environmentally conscious!
Eco-Friendly Stainless Steel Bottle
If your loving person spends a lot of time around the watercooler, a sustainable stainless steel water bottle is a wonderful practical alternative to a plastic water bottle. These environmentally friendly stainless steel bottles are ideal for keeping hot drinks hot throughout the day thus holding heat for up to 12 hours, ensuring that the recipient's coffee never gets cold! For those who prefer cold drinks, the bottles may keep the coolness fresh for up to 24 hours, ensuring that a pleasant beverage is always available.
Vegan Bound Journal
Journals make excellent utilitarian and productivity-boosting gifts, but they can be tough to come by cost-effectively. However, finding the ideal vegan bound journal has never been easier, thanks to advances in vegan leather and environmentally friendly alternatives like organic cotton canvas.
Therefore, vegan journals are now available in a wide range of materials, including vegan leather substitutes, eco-polyurethane covers, cork, and organic cotton.
Bamboo Pen
Bamboo pens are manufactured entirely of pressed bamboo and then adorned to appear seamless. They are one-of-a-kind, eccentric, and often stylish. They're long-lasting and entirely recyclable or degradable, which means they may be reused without affecting the environment once they've served their purpose.
Kitchen Appliances
You can always surprise your vegan foodies with some vegan gadgets and make their time in the kitchen fun and easy! Although these gifts are a little more costly, they are freakin thoughtful and long-lasting. For instance, every vegan requires warmed oat milk in the morning, so why not make it easier for them with a wonderful milk frothing machine. On the other hand, an instant pot is your safest bet for making special someone who enjoys the taste of warm bean dishes and stews. Every vegan needs a food processor to prepare their favourite hummus, so it’s the ideal present you can never go wrong with. Vegans prefer nutritious foods that they make themselves, and homemade ice cream is far more delectable than store-bought one, which makes the ice cream maker a great gifting idea!
What to Look for in a Vegan Gift?
Materials
Most people are aware that vegans eschew meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. However, many vegans also avoid products manufactured with animal-derived materials such as leather, beeswax, wool, feathers, or silk. So, when purchasing a present for someone who is vegan avoid these materials and go for natural vegan fabrics instead.
Environmental Impact-Brand Practices
There are many personal reasons why someone decides to live a plant-based lifestyle, and the environment may be one of them. If this is the case with the vegan you're shopping for, look for brands that prioritise environmental responsibility, such as the usage of renewable energy.
Also, look for information regarding a manufacturer's charity activities or organisations- typically located in the "About Us" section, which may involve cooperation with conservation groups, community projects, or local charities.
