Vegan-Friendly Independent Business Gift Guide

 

Do you have a vegan friend or family member that you want to get vegan-related presents for? Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas or other celebration, hopefully this guide will give you some inspiration for some animal-friendly gifts for your loved one.

Obviously every single vegan is different, so what is great for one person might not be so great for another, but I’ve tried to include a big mix of different categories to help suit everyone! I have also focussed on small and/or independent businesses as it’s always great to support them 😊

Brown Bear Coffee

Brown Bear Coffee sell a range of coffee, including beans, ground coffee and even coffee bags! They have a wide range of different strengths and flavours so there’s something for everyone - they even have mugs and flasks for drinking your favourite drink from 🐻 Better yet, 5% of their sales go to Free The Bears, a charity that rescues Sun and Moon bears from gall bladder farms.

I’ve bought from them multiple times before, both for myself and for family members so I definitely recommend them! I even wrote a review post which you can find here (please note this link contains affiliate links).

The Punky Bunny

If the person you’re buying for has complex dietary requirements or isn’t a food fan, why not try a print? ThePunkyBunny on Etsy has loads of great gifts including prints, mugs and key rings! There’s lots of fab designs so you’re bound to find something you’ll love.

RebelRox Kitchen

RebelRox Kitchen are quite often at vegan markets in Gloucestershire, but it now appears they do UK wide delivery too! I’ve tried both their brownies and their stuffed cookies and both are absolutely amazing. I’ve bought them for non-vegan friends too who also adored them! 

Dean Farm Trust

Dean Farm Trust are an animal sanctuary in Chepstow, South Wales, who look after over 200 farm animals and give them a happy life free from the cruelties of animal farming. They have an online shop with some absolutely adorable gifts, and the option to sponsor one of their adorable residents too. If experiences are more your gift recipient’s bag, then you can also purchase tickets to visit the sanctuary, and occasionally they run events you can go to as well. It’s an amazing cause and I’m sure any animal-loving vegan would be happy to receive a gift from their shop!

Kindhearted Chocs

If the person you’re buying for is a chocolate lover, then Kindhearted Chocs will most likely have something for you! They have selection boxes, smaller chocolate bars and larger chocolate bars, all vegan! Their products are all absolutely beautiful too. They restock every Monday Morning so if you can’t find what you’re looking for straight away, check back then 😊

Vesweeties

For those with a sweet tooth, Vesweeties are a great shout. They do pick ‘n’ mix sweets, sweet pouches, subscriptions and more. They also do gluten-free options, and label their allergens clearly on each listing. Their sweets are great and it was so cool to have such a varied bag of vegan sweets that aren’t available on the high street.
