It’s that time of year again – and however wonderful, that means you’ll need to get shopping sharpish to make sure you’ve got all your loved ones covered. Gifting can be nightmarish but don’t worry, we’ve got all your vegan needs covered this Christmas.
Without further ado, here are 13 vegan gifts to get for your favorite people.
1. Wicked Kitchen
Since debuting in UK Tesco stores, Wicked Kitchen has become a family favorite for many. Alongside its usual plant-based food goodies, this year the brand has released a host of gifting products.
They include a set of marinades and spices that double up as handy stocking fillers.
Additionally, you can get any foodies in your family a Rockin’ Ramen Gift Set complete with chopsticks and a ladle, as well as the Perfect Popcorn Gift Set.
Equally, penned by Derek Sarno and Chad Sarno themselves, there’s the Mushroom Manifesto which contains a heap of information about different varieties of mushrooms, their health benefits, and the best ways to cook them.
You can purchase the sets via Wicked Kitchen’s website here or in Tesco stores
2. Willo subscription boxes
For foodies and cooking novices alike, ordering a subscription box of healthy plant-based whole foods can be a nice idea to spark some inspiration in the kitchen. It saves on the busy vegan Christmas shopping stresses too.
Willo is a US-based company that offers a range of product boxes to do just that, plus it’s grown in an indoor vertical farm dubbed to save 99 percent more land and water than traditional agriculture.
At $100, it’s at the higher end of premium gifts, but it can also work as a present for a couple or a family.
From now, you can purchase the Holiday Reset Box which includes quality vegetables such as Toscano kale, joi choi, onion microgreens, and Genovese basil.
Added into each box are a collection of exclusive recipes too, as well as a Golden Salad Serving Set and Willo tea towel.

3. BAO Skincare
For anyone who appreciates soft skin and beautiful smells, vegan skincare is the ideal gift. And for anyone in the UK, BAO Skincare is one we recommend.
Certified by The Vegan Society’s Vegan Trademark, BAO Skincare is a UK-based organic cosmetics company. And, it makes all its products by hand.
For Christmas this year, BAO is offering five sets that arrive in recyclable packaging. Among them is the “luxury” Bath Time Heroes (£69, down from £104) that includes a Healing Body Oil, Luminosity Body Scrub, and Nourish Urself Balm dubbed to leave you feeling nourished and “rejuvenated.”

5. OneNine5
As the world opens up in the wake of COVID-19, more people are returning to working in the office, or in cafés. With that in mind, why not gift one of OneNine5’s eco-friendly laptop sleeves?
They’re made from coconut fibers and water-repellent vegan leather. Additionally, they are 100 percent plastic-free and come in four colors.
The company recently launched a sleeve to fit 13″ laptops, and offers 10 percent off your first order via its website. And, it ships internationally.

8. Pure Heavenly
We know the feeling of the chocolate box being handed round throughout the holidays and not being able to eat any because they’re all full of dairy.
So, for any vegan friends and family, why not gift them their own set?
Pure Heavenly, a vegan chocolate brand based in Scotland, has done just that with a gift set of 16 bars.
They come in a range of vegan milk bars including Silk, Salted Caramel, Orange, Mint, Banana, Strawberry, Hazelnut, and Coconut. In the Dark section, there is Sea Salt, Dark (72 percent), Orange, Mint, Cherry, Raspberry, Ginger, and Coffee.
The boxes are currently on sale for £27.
