For the fashion conscious
This jumper has won. And it’s pretty cheap for a cozy Christmas knit (but let’s get real I’d wear this all year round).
Uger, £16.99
2. Plants are friends
For when people tell vegans that they’re murdering plants. A gentle reminder that they’re not, because this tee says plants are friends. And friends don’t murder friends.
TmePrinting, £10.99
3. Foxy Shoes
If you’re being generous and feel like splashing out – these frickin’ adorable fox shoes are a must for a hunt-sab enthusiast. Beyond Skin is an entirely vegan shoe line with some awesome designs and varying prices.
Beyond Skin, £130
Vegans. Avocados. Enough said. Vegans are apparently all a bit weird for avocado.
InrainbowsBecco, £8.50
5. Vegan AF
If your vegan sometimes forgets they’re vegan, don’t worry, people will remind them when they’re wearing this.
Kiss the Kale, £12.00
For the nesting homeowners
6. Soy candles
Not all candles are vegan-friendly! Something to watch out for when wanting to pamper your veggie present receiver – what better than these beautifully patterned soy candles from the ethical Natural Collection.
Natural Collection, £12.75
How cute would it be to cut veggies and tofu on a Studio Gibli-inspired Calcifer chopping board ^.^
Zenibas Attic, £15.00
8. Cuppasaurus Herbivore Tea Infuser
Because herbivores like their tea loose, cute and infused with vegan-friendly style.
Magpie, £10.00
These are perfect for those with a soft spot for hens and cows, as some of the proceeds go to Hugletts Wood Animal Sanctuary in East Sussex.
Magpie, £15.00
Foxes again! Robert Farkas’ masterpiece would be appreciated within a vegan home
CreateandCase, £22.49
For the beauty –lovers
Sinking into this vivid blue and glittery bath is an ethical winter hug. The whole Christmas bath collection is Vegan this year! Hurrah!
LUSH, £4.25
For the veggie who love to express themselves as much as they love the earth, cruelty-free makeup is a must. Cruelty-free doesn’t always mean Vegan, so check out the 100% Vegan Makeup Without Malice site.
Medusa’s, £4.50
13. Mermaid Brushes
Whimsically cute and labelled ‘instagramable’, these vivid brush sets are a must have for a makeup keen and social media savvy veggie.
Spectrum, £29.99
For the foodies
I once had the pina colada white chocolate flavour, they also have chai, strawberry, and this matcha green tea white chocolate. Hippy veggies will love that quirkiness.
Ethicoco, £3.99
The yummiest selection of random Vegan chocolate treats. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with dark chocolate. I’m just saying that some vegans have a sweet tooth that 90% can’t satisfy. No word of a lie- they do vegan crème eggs.
Vegantown, £20.00
16. A f tonne of Ethical Booze
Donate to AnimalAid and get your vegan drunk as hell with some cruelty-free, Vegan* wine. Not all alcohol on the highstreet is vegan so be careful when you’re partying!
Animal Aid, £79.00
“Where do you get your pro-” “Shut up, I’ve got my PB Cups.” – what your vegan friend will be saying when they’re scoffing these after a workout.
SY1Protein, £7.50
A couple of other things that don’t really fit into a category
Vegan sidekick is both brutally honest and f-in hilarious. His comics, first appearing online, are now in print and veggies can’t get enough of the no-bullshit attitude that turns the phrase ‘vegans can’t take a joke’ on its head.
Vegan Sidekick, £9.50
Tea, sandwiches, scones, cakes aaaand cocktails for 2 at La Suite West in London. A gift for yourself, too!
Red Letter Days, £45.00
Inspiration for this post struck as a friend posted the CUTEST jumper (Soy to the World) on my facebook page and I thought back to that hated question “what do you want for Christmas” in which I keep answering “I don’t know” or “a job please” or “a sense of purpose”. In reality though. I do want stuff, I want cute vegan stuff and avocado fun, and LOTS OF CHOCOLATE THAT ISN’T JUST DARK CHOCOLATE.
I hope this helps with your shopping. Everything on this list is sourced from UK sellers, so should get to you in time for the festive period.
