Perfect Gift Ideas For Vegans With A Sweet Tooth
Some (but not all) of the links in this post are affiliate links. Thanks for your support!
If you’re Christmas shopping for a vegan for the first time–even if this vegan is yourself–you might be wondering where to start. The standard “Keep Calm, Plants Have Protein” t-shirts and tofu presses definitely have their place (and you can find several similar ideas to these in this video).
But what if your vegan isn’t crazy about tofu? In fact, what if your loved one loves all things sweet, and you don’t know the first thing about dairy-free confections?
If that sounds like you, congrats! This blog post was made specifically with you in mind. Read on to find just the perfect treats for the sweetest vegan you know.
1. Vegan 12 Cookie Gift Box from Insomnia Cookies ($30)
I’ll be real with you, I think I would cry tears of joy if someone bought this for me. It looks SO. GOOD. You get 12 vegan cookies, which you can mix and match from their 4 different flavors (birthday cake, chocolate chunk, double chocolate chunk, and peppermint mocha crunch).
They apparently can’t ship certain places, so be mindful of that. And though I haven’t personally ordered from them yet, it looks freaking awesome. Check them out here!
2. No Whey Vegan Candy Varieties ($2.79 each)
I have been gifted these many times, and I have to tell you they are epic. Some favorites are their PeaNot Butter Cups, Choco NoNos (a great stand-in for M&Ms), and No Whey bars (which are a sweets-lover’s dream come true). They also have a vegan chocolate advent calendar, which is fun.
3. Taza Chocolate Discs Sampler ($21)
For a more adventurous palate, Taza has a Mexican-style chocolate disk sampler with flavors like Salted Almond, Coffee, Chipotle Chili, Vanilla and more. I was actually gifted one of these last year for Christmas, and it was such a special treat. I also really like the texture of Taza’s chocolate disks for the record, though I can’t figure out how to describe it ?
Anyway, I’m lucky enough to be a part of their affiliate program! I can also share their Black Friday promo with you (25% off all Wicked Dark chocolate items using code WICKED25 from 11/26-27, and I think they have some other ones going at the moment). So if you shop using this link or the one above, I will receive a commission. If you’re interested, please check them out!
4. Vegan Truffle Box (varies)
The link above is just one example I found on the net, though there are several available. Here’s one I found on Etsy that looks really cute and has lots of good reviews. This option comes in at just $13 and includes four truffles, nice for a stocking stuffer or for a casual friend. For a homemade gift, you could prepare these Peanut Butter Fudge Truffles and package them in a nice box.
5. Holiday Cookie Mason Jar (cost of ingredients)
If you’re really into the idea of homemade gifts, that’s fabulous! Check out my recipe for these Holiday Cookie Mason Jars–a fun, festive activity and a gift that your sweet tooth friend will definitely appreciate.
You can also play around with the ingredients (white chocolate chips instead of chocolate chunks, sub in a bit of nuts or candy cane pieces). Have fun with it!
6. Vegan Pre-Filled Christmas Stocking ($21.99)
This is a nice one because for one, it’s pre-stuffed. But it also offers a decent selection of sweet flavors: fruity, chocolatey, something gingerbread, gummy candy but also soft cookies. I can personally vouch for the Rule Breaker, Yum Earth, and Nature’s Bakery items, though the whole package sounds great.
7. Rule Breaker Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites ($3.74 for one bag)
These are freakin amazing. I found them at Grocery Outlet (which I will hopefully make a video/post about someday) and fell in love with them. They are gluten-free as well as vegan, and would make a perfect stocking stuffer (or gift honestly, if you bought them a couple bags). And they’re made from chickpeas! Unreal.
If they like mint, and they like chocolate, they’re definitely gonna be into these brownie bites.
8. I Heart Revolution Tasty Body Vegan Mint Chocolate ($6.70)
If your loved one has, like, a full-body obsession with chocolate, this is probably gonna make them happy. I know some people are put off by the idea of food-scented body care items, but I can’t relate to that. I love food-scented lotions and candles–and I certainly can’t be the only one. If you think your friend would like this, check it out on Look Fantastic.
9. Peanut Butter & Co 4 Favorites Pack ($17.95)
If your sweets lover has a thing for peanut butter, this four pack of flavors from Peanut Butter & Co is just the thing! It includes four flavors: Smooth Operator, Crunch Time, White Chocolatey Wonderful, and Dark Chocolatey Dreams. The white chocolate flavor sounds divine, and is something I could see myself eating right out of the jar–as per their recommendation, of course ?
10. Cupcake Soy Wax Candle ($15)
This last one is in the same vein as the body lotion I mentioned earlier–you can’t necessarily eat it, but anyone who likes cupcakes is probably gonna like this. This candle is made from soy wax (so it’s vegan), and it’s just adorable. In fact, the Etsy seller (FairytaleCandlesUSA) has a lot of fun soy wax candle desserts for sale, so do check them out!
And that’s the post! I hope you found it informative, and that it helps you get that special someone a gift they’ll love. And I also hope that you’re having a cozy and enjoyable holiday weekend! Until next time, peace 🙂
