Vegan Gifts - What to Buy for Vegan and Vegetarian Friends and Family?
You’re probably reading this because you're looking for gift ideas on what to give your vegan friends, or because you are a vegan and you need some tips on what to buy your friends. Either way, this post is for you. Whatever your situation, this list will help you find the perfect gifts for any occasion.
It isn’t always easy to recognise whether an item is vegan-friendly or not. A lot of things are tested on animals, and a lot of non-vegan materials are used in the production of items.
To clear up any confusion, here are some tips on what to avoid when buying gifts for a vegan.
- Animal tested makeup and skincare.
- Anything made of materials such as leather, fur, wool, silk, feathers, or beeswax.
- Any food-related items containing animal ingredients.
So what gifts can you buy your vegan and vegetarian friends and family?
