9 Vegan And Budget-Friendly Gifts To Give This Holiday Season
The holidays are among us yet again, and hopefully this year you are able to see your loved ones in person, if not virtually.
However, it’s no surprise that many folks are still feeling an economic sting of the pandemic aftermath, so we are focusing on budget-friendly gift ideas that are still thoughtful and fun to receive, if gift-giving is something you love to do. Everything on our gift ideas list is under $100, with most under $40!
All of these gift ideas are vegan-friendly, too - so don’t worry about any animal cruelty hiding under the gift wrap. Even if your gift recipient isn’t vegan, they’re still sure to love these gift ideas that are high-quality, cruelty-free and kinder to the planet.
Remember: the best gift is presence (virtual, in-person, or otherwise), not presents. But if you prefer to give gifts as well, we hope this list of vegan and cruelty-free (and budget-friendly) gift ideas helps!
