I’m not saying you’ll want to keep all of these vegan gifts for yourself… but also not saying you won’t want to. Because vegan or not, finding something that is equal parts beautiful, functional, and sustainable is very fun. This list has a little of everything, so whether your gift recipient is a chocolate connoisseur, culinary queen, wellness enthusiast, or lover of all things beauty-related, you can find something to impress her. (Or you.)
This list also focuses on items that are traditionally non-vegan, to add a little extra twinkle to your recipient’s eye. Boar-less bristle dry brush? Yes. Luxury cactus leather clutch? You betcha. All items avoid both obvious and not-so-obvious animal products, from dairy and leather to down and lanolin. Now let’s do this vegan thang.
Vegan Gifts Under $25
1. Craft Chocolate Bars
Goodio | $7 – $9 (per bar)
PHOTOS: FLORAH
Art, or chocolate? Yes. Goodio makes craft chocolate that’s so pretty you won’t need to wrap it, in flavors that will intrigue and delight. Think Wild Blueberry, Candied Chamomile, and Winter Frost. It’s also stone ground, organic, vegan, and ethically made.
2. A Top-Rated Vegan Cookbook
Multiple Authors | $10 – $30
PHOTOS: FLORAH
These highly-rated cookbooks are ideal for the culinarily-inclined vegan in your life. For flavorful, in-depth dishes and stories about love, family, and culture, try out Joane Lee Molinaro’s The Korean Vegan Cookbook. For those who prefer convenience and easy cleanup, Nisha Vora’s The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook will deliver. Or, for easy staples from a beloved blog, try Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking.

3. A Clean Vegan Beauty Box
Petit Vour | $25
PHOTOS: FLORAH
Among vegan gifts, this one offers a lot of bang for your buck: a Petit Vour subscription box is $25/month and delivers curated, cruelty-free, vegan, non-toxic products to your recipient. It’s guaranteed (by me) to make any beauty-loving vegan do a jig for joy. Petit Vour has different box options, but I highly recommend the PV Plus Beauty Box. More thoughts on that here.
4. Organic Spanish Olive Oil
García de la Cruz | $23
PHOTOS: UNCOMMON GOODS
I speak from experience when I say that olive oil is a fundamental vegan joy; give me a restaurant that serves fresh bread with olive oil instead of butter and they’ve got a lifelong fan. What gift could be more delicious, nutritious, and versatile? Made all the better when it’s Spanish, organic, and done up in displayable packaging.
5. Supermelt Lip Plumper
Kinship | $20
PHOTOS: KINSHIP
This hyaluronic plumping lip treatment from Kinship is full of high-quality botanical ingredients and loved by reviewers. Kinship describes it as smelling ‘like a tropical vanilla creamsicle’ and feeling ‘like a melting jelly balm.’ That’s a yes for me.
Vegan Gifts Under $50
1. Bio Complexion Brush Set
WELL PEOPLE | $49
PHOTOS: WELL PEOPLE
Many beauty brushes feature animal hair, but not these chic ones from Well People. Complete with a sustainable wood handle and soft, luxurious vegan bristles, they seamlessly blend (wink wink, nudge nudge) function, style, and sustainability.
2. A Kale Varsity Sweatshirt
Etsy | $46
PHOTOS: STAYCLASSYINK VIA ETSY
Keep your vegan gift recipient toasty and on-brand in this kale varsity sweatshirt. Whether she’s loud and proud in her veganism or prefers to shrink into a corner when the topic arises, this hits the mark. It’s vegan, but subtle, and effortless and cool, you know?
3. Eco-Chic Vegan Lipstick
HIGHR |$32
PHOTOS: HIGHR
Meet HIGHR, the world’s first carbon neutral lipstick. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made with 70% organic ingredients, plus it’s got that clever little mirror right in the tube. In clinical trials, HIGHR was shown to moisturize lips for more than 24 hours, even after removal. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
4. A Botanical Soy Candle
Ritual + Fancy | $36 (large)
PHOTOS: RITUAL + FANCY
Many candles use beeswax, but not these babies. Made from soy wax, sustainably-sourced wood wicks, and toxin-free fragrance oils, they’re hand-poured in Portland, Oregon by Ritual + Fancy founder Shakira (who has a very cool story). A tree is planted for every candle sold. Smells, ambience, and ethics for days.
5. Granola Butter Bundle
Oat Haus | $35 (for 3)
PHOTOS: OAT HAUS
Granola butter is hard to explain in a way that does justice to it. It’s kind of like spoonable cookie dough or a sweet, super smooth nut butter – but completely nut-free. Perfect on toast, fruit, ice cream, waffles, or by the spoonful, the sky is the limit. Oat Haus’s granola butter is also organic, top 8 allergen-free, and comes in 11 flavors (like Birthday Cake, Brownie Batter, and Cookies & Cream). Yum.
Vegan Gifts Under $100
1. A Gourmet Chocolate Box
Compartés | $55 – $80
PHOTOS: COMPARTÉS
There’s something about a box of chocolates… it almost feels like each chocolate is a little present and surprise of its own. A gift that keeps on giving, if you will. Compartés offers something that is genuinely hard to find: a box of vegan chocolates that is equal parts delicious and beautiful.
2. A Lush Body Butter
Corpus Naturals | $58
PHOTOS: CORPUS NATURALS
This ultra-rich body butter from Corpus Naturals has glorious notes of bergamot, pink lemon, orange blossom, and cardamom. Reviewers love its lush texture, great absorption, and the way it leaves skin smooth long after application. A luxurious vegan gift option.
3. Organic Vegan Wine
Kind of Wild | $75 (3 bottles)
PHOTOS: KIND OF WILD
For a range of organic vegan wines in displayable bottles, look no further than Kind of Wild. Little known fact: not all wine is technically vegan, because some of the processing agents used in production may contain animal ingredients. So a certified vegan wine is a lovely gesture for a vegan wine lover.
4. Plant-Based Meal Kit Gift Card
Purple Carrot | any $ amount
PHOTOS: PURPLE CARROT
Purple Carrot is among the only fully vegan meal delivery services in the US. They’ve got meal kits for those who like to cook, pre-prepared meals for your convenience-oriented friends and fam, or a la carte options for good old grocery shopping. Take a spin through their menus to see the kinds of unique and exciting plant-based meals they offer. Delight your favorite vegan foodie with a gift card.
5. Total Body Glow Trio Beauty Set
OSEA | $98
PHOTOS: OSEA
OSEA is a clean, cruelty-free, vegan brand that offers sure-to-be-loved gifts sets. Their Total Body Glow Trio features Undaria Algae Body Oil – a fan favorite – a vegan dry brush, and a body scrub full of mineral-rich salts, shea butter, and seaweed. An unbeatable trio. (Many dry brushes use boar bristles, so this is a particularly thoughtful vegan gift.)
Vegan Gifts Under $150
1. Vegan Leather House Slippers
Dooeys | $140
PHOTOS: DOOEYS
Dooeys house slippers are stylish and supportive, and ready for any at-home activity, whether lounging, working, or hosting. They’re crafted from high-quality apple leather and other sustainable vegan materials – woot! Dooeys also offers gift cards, in case you have to guess on shoe size.
2. A Curated Vegan Cheese Box
Rebel Cheese | $100 – $150
PHOTOS: REBEL CHEESE
A common complaint among vegans is the lack of really good vegan cheese. But just wait until they try Rebel Cheese. The brand appeared on Shark Tank and their products (particularly the brie) was lauded for being bananas good. Through simple, high-quality ingredients and traditional aging, they’ve made products that will send any cheese-loving vegan to the moon. Note that their products are nut-based.
3. Colorful, Hand-Beaded Hoops
Kisiwa Designs | $140
PHOTOS: KISIWA DESIGNS
Have you seen anything prettier than these colorful hoops? Eep. They are handwoven by Kisiwa founder Gadea Pérez Andújar using Japanese glass beads and handmade, gold-filled hoops. Each hoop is unique, and they come in intentionally mismatched pairs.
4. A Fan Favorite Eye Serum
Akar Skin | $102
PHOTOS: AKAR SKIN
Described as a “miracle oil” by one reviewer, this eye serum is truly beloved. It’s made with more than 25 seed oils and extracts, and is intended to smooth fine lines around the eye area. For a vegan beauty aficionado, this is a dream in a bottle.
5. Hanging Propagation Vases
Etsy | $120
PHOTOS: ESCAPE VIA DESIGN
Taking ‘plant-based’ really literally over here. The plants actually aren’t included in this gift, but the six handmade hanging vases are. They offer a beautiful way to spruce up any space. The maker also has a similar design that’s letters instead of shapes, which are also super cool and more customizable. (They’re not highlighted here because depending on what you might want to spell, the cost varies widely. E.g. Kat vs. Wilhelmina.)
Vegan Gifts Over $150
1. A Beautiful Vegan Leather Watch
Votch | $210
PHOTOS: VOTCH
This one is perfect for your fashionable and punctual vegan loved one. Votch makes beautiful watches out of sustainable vegan materials like pineapple leather, apple leather, and non-PVC vegan leather. They’ve got a broad range of colors and styles – and gift sets! – so you can find just the thing. (Note that when you land on the site you may need to adjust pricing from GBP to USD.)
2. Down-Free Cloud Comforter
Buffy | $195
PHOTOS: BUFFY
A luxurious comforter made from plants and recycled plastic instead of down? An inspired vegan gift, if I do say so myself. So many comforters are made from down (not vegan), so finding a truly cozy and sufficiently fluffy comforter can be a challenge. Buffy’s award-winning Cloud Comforter is here for it.
3. An Everyday Vegan Leather Tote
Canussa | $160
PHOTOS: CANUSSA
These chic, functional totes from Canussa – called Totisimmo! – are hand-crafted in Spain using microfiber leather. They come in eight colors, and are loved by reviewers for being spacious, lightweight, high-quality, and good-looking. Note that if you’re purchasing through the brand’s site, shipping to the US is about $25.
4. A Plant Milk Maker
Almond Cow | $250
PHOTOS: ALMOND COW
Ethics aside, plant milk really has an edge over dairy milk in the customizability department. Soy? Yes. Oat? Yes. Pistachio cashew almond hazelnut hemp? I mean, why not? This highly-reviewed plant milk maker from Almond Cow will make all your vegan loved one’s wildest plant milk dreams and combinations a delicious reality. (For the health-minded vegan, it also means avoiding the long ingredient lists in many packaged plant-based milks.)
5. A Luxury Cactus Leather Clutch
ESLLA | $385
PHOTOS: ESLLA
High fashion, but make it cactus. This ESLLA bag has the silhouette, heavy chain, and luxe cactus leather to really make a statement. I can’t stop looking at it – the glam of it all. Truly the perfect vegan gift for lovers of luxury and fashion.
