If you have a vegan or vegetarian on your gift list, you may be at a loss when it comes to gift giving. Your loved one may have special needs regarding clothing and accessories. Finding appropriate food or beauty gifts may be confusing. You’ve come to the right place. This is your ultimate vegan lifestyle gift guide.
The Ultimate Vegan Lifestyle Gift Guide
Gifts that Keep on Giving
With Vegan Cuts you have the option of purchasing a one-time vegan gift package, such as the Luxe Beauty Stocking or the Fashion Stocking or, for the gift that keeps on giving, a monthly subscription for a cruelty-free snack or beauty box. They’ve done all the testing and label reading, leaving the recipient with the ability to just relax and enjoy the gift.
Cookbooks
Cookbooks always make great gifts, not only for vegans but for anyone who loves to be creative in the kitchen and eat more healthfully. Here are a few of my favorites (or ones that are my wish list).
Perfect for vegans who are tired of buying over-processed and expensive pantry essentials, The Homemade Vegan Pantry: The Art of Making Your Own Staples is a guide to making everything from meat and dairy substitutes, such as butter, sour cream, and bacon, to dressings, mustards, pancake mix, and crackers.
Creating your own vegan cheese is an art and author Miyoko Schinner has perfected it. She shares her secrets to creating Artisan Vegan Cheese, with recipes that use a variety of non-dairy ingredients including nuts and plant-based milks.
From delicious dals to spicy curries, with flatbreads and savory breakfasts in between, Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen is perfect for anyone who loves Indian Cuisine.
If you haven’t done it already, Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker will inspire any cook to pull out their old crockpot.
Tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, but many people think that it is tasteless and boring. This Can’t Be Tofu! will change your mind about that!
There is something about the idea of serving all your favorite foods in one big bowl that is very appealing. Vegan Bowls will help you create perfect, flavor-balanced plant-based meals every time.
If you’re a fan of Angela Liddon and her blog Oh She Glows, you know about The Oh She Glows Cookbook. It not, it’s time you learned. Her whole food, plant-based recipes really will make you “glow from the inside out.”
With over 100 kid-tested and approved recipes, Plant-Powered Families will help get the whole family excited about eating healthy.
In addition to over 100 plant-based recipes, The Vegan Cheat Sheet is a great resource guide for living a vegan lifestyle. You will find tips for shopping and eating out, and it even includes a guide for vegan options at many popular chain restaurants.
Kitchen Tools and Accessories
Every kitchen needs a spiralizer, especially a vegan one. Brieftons 5-Blade Spiralizer is a full featured option that will help you create noodles from almost every vegetable imaginable. Mine was a gift from my son a couple years ago. Good choice!
When I saw this Indoor Culinary Herb Garden Starter Kit I added it to my own wish list. There is nothing like using fresh herbs, but they can be quite expensive. So why not grow your own?
Just because…Please don’t ask me where I get my protein Mug.
Edible Treats
You know that feeling when a box of chocolates is delivered, but you can’t have even one? Vegans know it for sure. Now you can make their dairy-free day with the Creek House Vegan Chocolate Truffle Collection
The same thing goes for Christmas cookies. Unless we’ve made them ourselves, chances are they’re not vegan. This Vegan Cookie Assortment definitely is.
Clothing, Jewelry, and Accessories
This pretty Plant Strong Bracelet will let your favorite vegan wear her heart on her sleeve, er, wrist.
Plant-based t-shirts are fun and make a great gift for the vegans in your life. Here are a few of my favorites.
Don’t Ask Me Why I’m Vegan T-shirt
I Think Therefore I’m Vegan T-Shirt
I discovered Susan Nichole years ago, and have purchased several beautiful bags. It is a small company, and all their products are 100% free of animal products. Sign up for their newsletter and receive notice of the great specials they offer on a regular basis.
I’m sure that this ultimate vegan lifestyle gift guide will help you find the perfect gift for the vegans and vegetarians in your life. If you have other suggestions, please leave them in the comments.
Spicy Lime Soup
Because it wouldn’t be Meatless Monday without a recipe, here is my favorite spicy Lime Soup recipe, which is sure to keep you warm on a cold evening.

Christine @ Love, Life, Surf
There are so many great ideas here Debbie (that mug is awesome)! I need to add the herb garden starter to my list! My boys have been asking to grow herbs. Thanks for all these ideas!
Debbie Woodruff
I think that herb garden is such a great idea! All I have now is a big basil plant, which is nice, but I’d love to grow more.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
OMG – that coffee mug is epic. I hope you have one yourself!
Debbie Woodruff
Not yer. But it’s on the way!
Lisa @ RunWiki
We’re not vegans, but eat many vegan meals, so I find this list full of wonderful items that I could ask my husband for, or to give as a gift to a friend or family. I feel like if you introduce people to the vegan lifestyle, they see that it’s not always about eating kale everyday. Having kids makes the vegan lifestyle difficult for us. I know so many parents do it, but I just don’t have the energy to battle with my children at every meal. I talk about how animal products are destroying the earth and of course that every animal has a soul. We will get there one day at a time. I working on it. I can tell you this… you inspire me every single day with how you love animals. Your compassion and willingness to help is moving beyond words. You are so very special. xoxoxo
Debbie Woodruff
Lisa you are so sweet. I actually feel the say way about you, so back atcha :-).
Kids can be difficult to convince about any type of change in their food. I remember taking our grandsons to Native Foods when they were about 8. They insisted they hated vegan food. They still managed to eat their burger, fries and a cupcake 🙂
CARLA
THAT COFFEE CUP!!!!
This really is quite frankly the best gift guide and most creative ever.
Debbie Woodruff
Why thank you! That mean a lot because there are A LOT of gift guides out there!
Angela @ happy fit mama
The spiralizer – yes!!! Everyone needs one vegan or not. And that coffee mug is quite awesome.
Debbie Woodruff
I really need to order that mug for myself. It’s definitely the favorite thing here.
JEnnifer F
I may be the only fit food blogger without a spiralizer . . . on my wish list!
Debbie Woodruff
Better get it! I went the longest time without. Thank goodness for my son or I’d probably still not have one!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner
I love a real cookbook and these are all new to me! Thanks for the great list. Happy Holidays
Debbie Woodruff
I love cookbooks too. They really are a great gift because there are so many choices out there.
Annmarie
Such an AWESOME gift guide! Thanks so much for linking up and sharing! 🙂
Debbie Woodruff
Thanks Annmarie! I appreciate your linkup.
Susie @ SuzLyfe
Gifts + soup, what more do you need?
Debbie Woodruff
They’re a great combination, aren’t they?
Janelle (JEM)
I love your ideas! I would be happy to get anything on your list. Thanks for the great ideas I will definitely pin this! I think my favorite is the mug. People bother me about protein all the time.
JEM
PS: I came by from the Inspire Me Monday link party.
Debbie Woodruff
Thanks Janelle! The cup seems to be the most popular and it was really an accident. I was looking for a t-shirt that said that and the mug popped up. Now it’s on my list :-). Thanks for stopping by!
Rachel Frutkin
Great list. I love the Oh She Glows cookbook. Thanks for linking up with us!
Debbie Woodruff
Thanks for hosting! I love Angela’s blog but I haven’t bought the cookbook yet. It’s on my wish list (since that’s pretty much what this post is 🙂 ).
Shannon @GirlsGotSole
What a great guide! Good stuff here for sure!
I’ll have to check out the Homemade Vegan Pantry book, sounds like something I’d like. And, The Vegan Cheat Sheet also sounds great!
I do love that mug too, I mean that is a question we get asked way too often. LOL
Tiara
Great list! I really need to pick up a Spiralizer.
Tianna
lovely gift ideas! I definitely think vegan chocolate is a solid gift idea for all my vegan friends!
Jody - Fit at 58
What a great post share Debbie! No vegans here – well, wait, one but many do vegan things even is they are not so love this all!!!
Jenn Peters
I’m not a vegan, but these recipes look delicious. I’m also a sucker for cookbooks, so these ones look lovely! I scheduled a few different pins on Pinterest and Twitter 🙂 Thanks for sharing #SundayBlogHop
