A gift doesn't have to be expensive for it to prove how much you care. I believe personalization is the real key to making a present extra special. Trust me — my friends who have gone vegan [1] can attest to this.
Every time the holidays roll around, they end up regifting the many cookies, baked goods, and other treats that wind up on their doorstep. But not my package! That's because I search far and wide to find them festive treats they can actually enjoy.
It sounds so simple, but I'm confident the vegan [2] eater in your life will light up when they see you went the extra mile for them.
Dana's Bakery Vegan Black and White Cookies
Your favourite New Yorker will feel right at home taking a bite out of Dana's Bakery's Vegan Black and White Cookies [3] ($29) — trust me, these are an empire state original.
Safe and Fair Pumpkin Pie Drizzled Popcorn
I bet the most pumpkin-obsessed friend you have hasn't tried pumpkin popcorn yet. Make their day with Safe and Fair Pumpkin Pie Drizzled Popcorn [4] ($5).
Wildly Organic Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix
Pro tip: Package Wildly Organic Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix [5] ($14) with vegan whiskey for an equally cosy and boozy night by the fire.
The Naughty Cookie Vegan Ooey Gooey S'mores Box
S'mores are just as relevant in the colder seasons thanks to The Naughty Cookie Vegan Ooey Gooey S'mores Box [6] ($50) — grab these for the friend who's missing summers by the campfire.
Coop's Microcreamery Vegan Hot Fudge Sauce
My love language is, without a doubt, rich, velvety, dark chocolate. That's why I gift Coop's Microcreamery Vegan Hot Fudge Sauce [7] ($13) to my nearest and dearest.
Sutter Buttes Fig + Olive Tapenade
Nothing gathers my friends together quite like a charcuterie board — even if that means we each bring one to the Zoom hangout. Little do they know I'm sending them all Sutter Buttes Fig + Olive Tapenade [8] ($12) for our virtual holiday gathering.
Stylish Spoon's Gluten-Free Vegan Gingerbread Man Decorating Kit
Another video-chat idea: send your loved ones Stylish Spoon's Gluten-Free Vegan Gingerbread Man Decorating Kit [9] ($69), so you can all do some decorating separately yet together.
Barista + Bites Vegan Holiday Whoopie Pie Combo
Peppermint adds a festive feel to any treat — not that chocolate and vanilla Barista + Bites Vegan Whoopie Pies [10] ($69) need more of a reason to be a holiday favourite.
Nibble Chocolate Vegan Truffle Box
Nibble's Chocolate Vegan Truffle Box [11] ($20) is always a hit amongst my pickier friends. With eight flavours per box (dark chocolate, raspberry, coffee, pomegranate sea salt, oat vanilla, chai, Mexican chocolate, and lemon), there are plenty of tasty options to love.
