The Holidays are upon us and with that you might be in search of gift ideas for your favorite Vegan, Vegetarian or VegCurious peeps. Well… look no further as we’ve assembled a list of some of our favs! 

2020 has been a real roller coaster, especially for small businesses, so lettuce (because puns are fun) use our dollars to support the businesses and professionals we love that are contributing to and part of the VegEconomy™!  This is good for People, our Planet and of course the Animals! Check out these cruelty-free gifts we’re sure you’ll love!

Each will bring you to the businesses listing here on vKind and there’s a special Gift Guide link to find exactly the item(s) showcased. EnJOY:

For Any Vegan : 

1. Jaan J Products – For all your Tie, Bow Tie and Accessory needs. Jaan J. caters to the needs of those who appreciate quality neckwear, but don’t want to wear silk! They have some dashing designs and a giveback PETA line!

2. MooShoes – because who doesn’t love cruelty-free animal-approved apparel and shoes!?

3. Sanctuary Tees – A super cute shop with loads of t-shirt designs (we just love the tubby raccoon) + they even have vegan saying throw pillows! 

4. Vegetaryn – Know anyone repping that Mushroom Mafia? This is the hat for them, or check out the plethora of other items in their robust shop!

5. Conscious Step – Consciously created socks to have every step work towards supporting people, the planet and animals! You can choose a cause you’d like to support with your purchase + they have a sustainable sock subscription.

Herbivore Clothing Co. – We love the saying on this insulated water bottle “The World Will Change If We Do”  Herbivore Clothing Co. is the OG for ethically made, cruelty-free clothing and accessories! Adorable vegan kids clothes? Check. Stickers, buttons and flair? Check. Vegan pantry items? Check. It’s a one stop shop that walks their talk! 

7. Matt & Nat – Loving the sleek design of this Sydney Backpack, but if that’s not your bag (wink wink… see how we did that again? We hope you giggle as much as we did writing this.) be sure to browse their entire collection as you’re bound to find one that says “pick me! pick me!”

8. Quinoa Style – This “Say Protein Again! Say It!” mug says it all because anyone who’s been vegan for at least a week has heard the “But, where do you get your protein?” question… Sometimes we just gotta laugh.

9. Corkor – How cool is this cork card holder?! Practical yet polished a clever catch-all for your cards and cash. It’s available in an array of colors and is RFID safe. Not in need of a cork card holder?! Well, take a look at their belts, bags and other accessories for sustainable and vegan leather alternatives.

10. A to Z Candles – Because we’d all like to be #ZenAF, especially this year. Enjoy this hand-mixed blend of white sage, citrus and lemongrass to help find your center (before you lose your shit) A to Z Candles has a large assortment of other styles and scents to satiate your candle needs.

11. Visibly Veg – We love this Veg Emblem! An elegant way to show some love for the vegan lifestyle. Looks great on a car, laptop or your vegan-friendly fridge!

We interviewed Jess Lohmann to learn more about this book which you can read here.

4. We can’t get enough of Ruby Roth 🙂 We highly recommend all her books and especially love the Young Activist 3-Book Gift Pack and her Nautilus Book Awards Winner Bad Day. All of which further empower children to love deeply, think critically, and act responsibly.
