So excited to finally put together the ultimate vegan gift guide, a comprehensive list with so many ideas for vegan presents, hampers and baskets that will make any occasion amazing. We cover a range of budgets and we know that everyone is unique, that's why we came up with such a range of items that make the best of vegan gifts!

Whether you are shopping for a vegan or plant-based enthusiast, these vegan gift ideas are ideal for everyone. Our vegan gift guide will help you get the most meaningful gift that every vegan wants. We know this because we're vegan and these are the things we put on our wish list to make it easier for family and friends.

The Ultimate Vegan Gift Guide

You have a vegan friend or two and have no idea what to get them. You want to buy them some oat milk and avocados but you feel there's something more meaningful for them they might actually enjoy. We're here to help. We've been vegans for 4 years now and we know exactly what we want and need for special occasions. We also have a group of vegan friends so trust us, we know what a vegan needs. To make your life easier we've put together a gift guide specifically for vegans. And don't worry, our vegan gift ideas work for beginner vegans as well as super hardcore herbivores as well.

In this guide, we're going to cover everything from vegan gifts for cooks, through vegan gift ideas for home to vegan food and treats. By the end of this guide you will probably want some of these things for yourself as well, as really, they are pretty cool ideas. Let's get started and find you an epic vegan present!

We want to tell you that we've done some serious research before recommending you these products. It was very hard to find products that are gentle, suitable for babies and adults alike, also vegan and completely free from harmful chemicals, allergens and irritants. That's why we really took our time to research and cross-reference from so many sites like Ethical Elephant, Wikipedia, Cosmily, EWG and also Yuka. Most sites promote either vegan or chemical-free but not both. We thought we could do better!

Not only you're supporting a community of vegan chefs by buying their product, but your vegan friend will be so happy to get inspired by new vegan recipes. It's a very thoughtful and kind gift.
