12 Best Sustainable & Vegan Christmas Gifts

‘Tis the season to be sustainable! 

By being conscious of our shopping habits over the holly jolly Christmas holidays, we can celebrate the happiest time of year without feeling guilty about our environmental footprint. 

In my humble opinion, one of the easiest 'green' habits to pick up at Christmas is giving sustainable gifts. Of course, buying your loved ones eco-friendly gifts often takes that little extra time and care, especially if you’re looking around a second-hand store. But that makes the present much more special and magical. 

We all know someone that is trying to eat less meat and live more ethically overall, and whoever that person in your life is will most likely appreciate this book. Be More Vegan contains just about everything you wanted to know about going plant-based. It also has over 50 simple recipes to help along the way. 

This Rose Blossom Soy Candle is Vegan Bunny’s best-rated candle, so if you’re looking for something a little romantic and flowery, this is what you need. 

Any vegan who appreciates cosying up on a cold winter’s day will adore this Hot Chocolate Gift Box. The box contains cacao chunks, whipped cream, marshmallows, gingerbread syrup, cookies, and a TVK-branded mug! 

This trio of bath bombs by Rainbow Cosmetics combines beautiful, natural fragrances such as delicate floral top notes of Bergamot, Ylang-Ylang and Lily with heartier notes of Sandalwood.

This candle will no doubt warm the heart of anyone that has an appreciation for Bakewell tarts. You can almost taste the almond sponge and pastry crust with just a touch of jam.

Being gifted socks seemed slightly lame and boring when you were a child. But maturing is realising that you can never have too many comfy, cosy socks to lounge around the house in. I'm giving these Bamboo Clothing’s Stripe Socks bonus points because not only are they super soft, but they have a reinforced toe and hell as well. Also, did you know that bamboo only needs half the land cotton needs to produce the same amount of fibre?

Ananda’s have created a Gift Box collection filled with warming spices, autumn fruits and indulgent rich flavours and textures. The flavours include Ginger Frost, Molten Mocha, Chai Caramel, and Spiced Apple. Perfect for marshmallow-lovers! 

The Alter/Native by Suma Botanical Soap Collection will make a lovely treat for anyone in your life who enjoys pampering themselves (or needs some more self-care time). These soap bars are handmade using the finest natural ingredients and pure essential oils of flowers, herbs and spices. The full gift set includes Coffee and Cedarwood Shaving Soap Bar, Ayurvedic Soap Bar, Patchouli and Hemp Soap Bar, Activated Charcoal Detox Bar.

This Halo Christmas Candle is a clean and neutral smell that would suit anyone’s taste. It burns for around 20 hours and is handmade using soy wax. 

This Milly & Sissy bathroom set includes one of their aluminium bottles and two refill body creme sachets. How much more sustainable can you get than a zero-waste gift?!

I challenge you to find me a greater gift for a chocolate lover than this Vego Mega Chocolate Gift Box! The box includes Whole Hazelnut Large Chocolate Bar, Vego Whole Hazelnut Mini Chocolate Bar, Organic Dark Nuts & Berries Chocolate Bar, Vego Almond Bliss Vegan White Chocolate Bar, Vego Fine Hazelnut Crunchy Chocolate Spread, Vego Vegolino Indulgent Nougat Praline Chocolates, Vego Organic Fine Hazelnut Chocolate Melts. Could it get any better than this?
