Are you gift shopping for a vegan friend or relative this year, and have no idea what to get them? Do you want to support small, vegan businesses no matter who you’re shopping for this holiday season? Check out these ideas for gifts that won’t get returned because you forgot to check if it had wool in it. Oh, and they’re all under $30, so you don’t have to break the bank.
1. Keepsake box from Dark Faerie Creations ($22)
All of Elise Hollandsworth Hartmann’s work is full of compassion and magic, and her wooden keepsake boxes are no exception. Order before Sunday, November 27 with code COMPASSIONFORALL for free domestic shipping.
2. Silver & Gold Gift Set from The Fanciful Fox ($20)
Forget Lush or Bath & Bodyworks. You’ll feel wise gifting this soap & candle set smelling of frankincense, myrrh, and a bit of sweetness. Everything from The Fanciful Fox is hand crafted in micro batches by a mother-daughter team in Brooklyn.
3. Rainbow Slouchy Hat from Grey Wombat Designs ($25)
Show your pride while keeping your head warm with this crocheted slouchy hat from Grey Wombat. No matter where you are on the GLBTQ spectrum, this shop has a hat (and matching arm warmers!) for you. Plus, proceeds help support Ham-Ham House, a hamster sanctuary in Pittsburgh.
4. Driftwood Magazine, Issue 3 ($14)
Get the latest issue of this quarterly vegan travel & culture magazine with road-trip tips, vegan profiles, travel stories and more. Not sure if your favorite vegan already ordered this issue? Get them a gift subscription for the next four issues! They’re worth it.
5. Pie Cat Bed from Panda With Cookie ($27)
Don’t forget to shop for your kitties! Now that you know these handmade pie cat beds exist (and that they’re only $27!), the only question is: cherry or blueberry (or pizza)? Plus, Panda With Cookie is donating at least 20% from all online sales before December 31st to Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette and Voz Workers’ Rights Education Project.
6. The Taco Cleanse Cookbook ($18)
We may have missed out on our chance to have taco trucks on every corner, but at least with this book we can have tacos in every kitchen. Prevent or reverse taco deficiency and change your life with the only cleanse you’ll ever need: The taco cleanse.
7. Cathulu Enamel Pin from Sabretooth Dream ($8)
Wear this pin to show your support for the cutest of all evils. It even has glow-in-the-dark eyes! Better yet: Contribute $25 to Sabretooth Dream’s crowdfunding campaign to open a storefront in Chicago, and get $25 in store credit!
8. Rainbow Pancakes Print from Kelly Peloza Photo ($15-24)
If you follow this blog at all, you know all about my love affair with gay cakes. So of course I love this vibrant pride pancakes photo from Kelly Peloza! And even though you’re not eating the picture (no matter how tasty it looks), you can rest easy knowing those pancakes photographed were 100% vegan. Get 25% off your order now through the end of the month with code SHOPSMALL.
9. COMING SOON: Scarves for Justice from Louzilla Lovegood ($25)
In the next few days, I’ll be opening an Etsy shop where I’m selling hand-crocheted scarves to raise money for organizations that are fighting to protect civil liberties. 100% of the proceeds from every scarf I sell will go to an organization of your choice (based off a list I’m compiling). I’m still waiting on a few things before I can start selling, but expect to hear more soon!
