Thoughtful Vegan Gifts For The Holidays [2023 Guide]
The holidays are here!
If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for someone who is vegan, or you’d just prefer to give out vegan gifts this year, I’ve got some good ideas for you.
This vegan gift guide includes:
vegan apparel, bags, and accessories
eco-friendly products and easy vegan lifestyle swaps
beauty, self-care, and personal development gifts
vegan condoms (yes, I went there…)
meaningful experiences and services (for those who don’t want things)
vegan eats and treats… and more!
So let’s dive in.
“Don’t Eat The Homies” Hoodie
for the vegan statement-maker
For the proud vegan animal rights activist on your list, Don’t Eat The Homies is a solid fit. This streetwear brand is motivated by a desire to inspire society to be better, for the planet and for everyone on it. They also sell patches, stickers, water bottles, hats, beanies, and gift cards if you aren’t sure about clothing sizes. D.E.T.H. donates 10% of proceeds to animal rescues and vegan outreach organizations at the end of each year, too!
“Herbivore” Sweater
For a softer and more subtle statement piece;)
Vegan Outfitters is another great vegan clothing brand with gentler statement pieces like this Herbivore sweater. They also have printed tees and socks that say “Livin’ Life On The Veg” that your vegan pal is sure to love. Note: This is a European brand, so shipping may take longer. Don’t worry tho, it’ll be worth the wait!
Promptly Journals
Shawn Achor, one of the world’s leading experts on happiness psychology, includes journaling as one of the 5 most important things you can do to maintain happiness and wellbeing.
Journaling is such a game-changer for personal development. And eventually, the aspiring or avid journaler in your life is gonna run out of pages. Promptly is a women-owned business committed to making journaling as effortless as possible so people can access healing, connection, and presence whenever and wherever they need. Choose a classic blank journal, or get specific with their themed journals, including self-love, gratitude, pregnancy, postpartum, couples, kids, travel, and so many more.
Adaptogenic Chocolate
Rich organic chocolate with an adaptogenic boost!
For that friend who uses strange words like “reishi” and “chaga,” and constantly tells everyone to watch Fantastic Fungi on Netflix, these Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders Chocolate bars will sweeten their day! The Real Mushrooms brand is the real deal: they’re 3rd party tested, with no fillers or grains like other mushroom supplement brands- just the real, high-quality good stuff.
And no, the chocolate not taste like mushrooms! Just pure, rich chocolatey deliciousness with added benefits. For a cozy and warm drinkable version, their 5 Defenders Hot Chocolate has the same added benefits that you can mix with your favorite non-dairy milk. Maybe a dollop of vegan whip, too.

Vedge Plant Protein
cleanest & best-tasting vegan protein powder on the market!
For the gym rat, the recipe creator, or the vegan-curious looking for an easy swap, Vedge Protein Powder is not only the best tasting on the market, but it’s the cleanest, too! Vedge is different than most: they’re vegan-owned, and all of their products are vegan, USDA Organic, non-gmo, and third-party tested. Their protein powder recently ranked Top 3 on Dr. G’s list for transparency and for lowest levels of heavy metals and pesticides.
The only question is, flavor should you get them? Vanilla Ice Cream is a delicious classic that is great all on its own with water or non-dairy milk, or blended into smoothies, baked into pancakes, and other sweet treats. Chocolate Peanut Butter is for your Reece’s-loving friend, and Cold Brew Latte is great hot or cold for a protein-added caffeine boost in the morning. They also have tons of recipes on their website.

Vegan Snack Box
Discover the most exciting new vegan products from new and established brands.
For the serious snacker in your life, consider a vegan snack delivery box from Vegancuts! Each box contains at least 10 snacks, meal items, and beverages for your loved one to enjoy. You can gift a one-time box, or go for a subscription with 3, 6, or 12-month options to keep the snacks coming.
Vegan Cookbook
Many highly anticipated vegan cookbooks came out in 2022! Purchase through a local Indie bookstore right here.
2022 saw some BIG releases from some celebrity vegan chefs and top vegan influencers online. And did you know? Shopping with IndieBound lets you purchase any book online through a local, independent bookstore, so you can shop small. How rad is that?
My top recommendations with 5-star ratings:
In her highly anticipated first cookbook, Charity, who was featured in the documentary The Game Changers about how elite athletes use a vegan diet to enhance their performance, breaks the myth that giving up animal protein means sacrificing taste. She taps her Creole and Puerto Rican heritage and love of bold flavor and spice to create a collection of flavor-bomb plant-based alternatives.
Tabitha’s recipes are flexible, creative, and filled with encouragement, so you trust yourself to cook food the way it makes you happy. If you’re already a “cooking from the spirit” sort of person, you’ll love how much freedom Tab gives to make these delicious vegan dishes your own. If you’re newer to cooking—or to vegan cooking—Tab will help you get comfortable in the kitchen and, most important, have fun doing it!
In her eagerly anticipated debut cookbook, Carleigh Bodrug, the Founder of the wildly popular social media community PlantYou, provides readers with the ultimate full color guidebook that makes plant-based meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking a breeze. With every single recipe, you will find a visual infographic marking the ingredients you need, making it easy to shop, determine portion sizes, and dive into the delicious and nutritious dishes.
The dazzling debut cookbook from Joanne Lee Molinaro, the home cook and spellbinding storyteller behind the online sensation @thekoreanvegan.
Joanne Lee Molinaro has captivated millions of fans with her powerfully moving personal tales of love, family, and food. In her debut cookbook, she shares a collection of her favorite Korean dishes, some traditional and some reimagined, as well as poignant narrative snapshots that have shaped her family history.
The Korean Vegan Cookbook is a rich portrait of the immigrant experience with life lessons that are universal. It celebrates how deeply food and the ones we love shape our identity.
Pela Phone Case
world’s first compostable phone cases & accessories
For the eco-friendly pal on your list, consider Pela! They’ve created the world’s first compostable phone case. Why? Because the phone industry has a HUGE waste problem. Pela’s materials and process significantly reduces emissions, water usage, and raw materials. What they don’t cut back on, however, is style and durability.
They’ve also just added AirPod cases, watch straps, and card keeper wallets to their line of eco-friendly products!
Pela cases are also super smooth and soft, unlike those run-of-the-mill cheap plastic cases. Best of all, Pela phone cases can go into your backyard or industrial compost. If you don’t have either, Pela makes it easy to send it back to them, so it can be broken down and turned into new phone cases.
Glyde Vegan Condoms
Perfect gift for your partner or a funny gag gift for a friend!
OK, hear me out… talking about sex is totally awkward, but vegan condoms would be a super awesome stocking stuffer for your partner(s)! They’d also be a great gift to someone who always gives you grief about being vegan, so you can continue to spread your “vegan agenda” (and prevent spreading STI’s). Gifting these to yourself is not a bad idea, either! Glyde vegan condoms come in many sizes, even flavors. They also sell sample packs so you can find the best fit and flavor. They sell vegan lube and toys, too. Enjoy :)
Ridwell Subscription
Ridwell collects hard-to-recycle items and diverts them from the landfill to get reused or recycled.
For the person who has everything, they probably don’t have this sustainable service! Ridwell is a home collection service that picks up hard-to-recycle items that would otherwise end up in the trash and ultimately a landfill. Think clothing scraps, batteries, produce bags, and lightbulbs, and more. Ridwell diverts this “trash” to partners that reuse or recycle the materials responsibly.
You can gift your loved one a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month subscription to Ridwell via a digital gift card! You’ll just need their email and zip code, and they’ll set up their account to begin their service when they’re ready. Ridwell operates in dozens of cities and towns in Washington, including all of Seattle! Plus, they serve many other areas in Oregon, California, Texas, Colorado, and Minnesota.
The Gift of Experiences with Viator
Viator offers thousands of activities and excursions locally and globally.
Wanna gift memories, and not things? Viator is the go-to source for gifting experiences. They offer thousands of adventures, from local guided walking tours to helicopter rides to weekend cruises to activities in every global destination imaginable.
Got a big trip planned? Immerse yourself in the local cuisine with a vegan food tour or vegan cooking class! Imagine taking a vegan cooking class in Hanoi, Vietnam, learning how to make 5 different Vietnamese dishes! Or a 5-star vegan Peruvian food tour in Lima with sight-seeing between bites. Or organic and vegan Indigenous wine tasting in Athens, Greece.
Wanna keep it closer to home? Seattle-based excursions include a Leavenworth Tour with sight-seeing along the way, Christmas lights at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C., and a 5-star rated Intro to Outdoor Rock Climbing. The possibilities with Viator are quite endless, so enjoy searching!
