Looking for a selection of plant based and vegan holiday gifts? 21Ninety’s got you covered!
Gift-giving is no easy feat, and most of us dread the process of trying to come up with ideas for everyone on our list. Worry not, this year, things will be different. Not only will you bring a smile to your loved ones’ faces, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint in the process. In a way, you’re giving two gifts in one: for your recipient and the environment. That’s a win-win. So, we’ve compiled our favorite eco-friendly, plant based, and vegan holiday gifts for every special (or obligatory) person in your life.
For: Your beauty-obsessed bestie.
Who doesn’t like to keep their pout in-check? It can be tricky to find a decent lip color that gives the perfect pop of radiance and doesn’t leave your lips dry and flaky. And during the winter, no less! Kiss those chapped, dull lips goodbye babe, the Melixer vegan lip kit is here to save the season. While most balms use honey or beeswax as its main ingredient, Melixir is enriched with agave and shea butter to soothe and hydrate.
It glides on like butter and is infused with other natural ingredients like jojoba oil and argan oil. Get a natural glow from colors like Red Velvet, Dewy Rose and Lust Red that spices things up with buildable color. Give the gift of soft, healthy lips with this cruelty free vegan lip butter trio!
For: Your work wife, work husband, or boss.
Serious question—who doesn’t love snacks? Discover the perfect gift for your favorite vegan, so they can sneak something delicious and plant-based into their bag to get them through that mid-day 3 pm slump or if they find themselves stuck at an event or party that caters exclusively to carnivores. Inside, you’ll discover something for every palate, including cookies, chips, fruit, and nut snacks.
It arrives gift-ready in a box, and you can even include a personal note. Choose from packs that include 10, 12, 20 or 22 snacks, and taking a look at this selection, you’ll definitely want to opt for the biggest one.
For: Your mother, mother-in-law, or both (we won’t tell).
Healthy, nourished skin is always in, and this vegan and cruelty-free skincare set is ideal for someone who is into beauty and sustainability. Every purchase supports rural farmers and regenerative farming practice—now that’s gifting with a purpose! What else is being plant based all about?
The set features three of Thrive’s top sellers, including a face wash, face scrub and face balm beautifully and sustainably packaged. The formulas themselves are impressive and include super plants like juanilama and coralillo which are packed with antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties, and restore your skin’s natural balance.
For: The office White Elephant party or gift exchange.
Chocolate always makes the perfect gift—it doesn’t require batteries or a complicated setup with confusing instructions, and you never have to worry about getting the wrong size. And when you think about it, each piece is like a separate gift for their taste buds. Satisfy every sweet tooth and then some, these vegan chocolate hazelnut truffles are gluten-free, kosher, and individually wrapped for bite-sized goodness.
You might have to stop yourself from sneaking a few yourself, since Astor has been a household name for nearly a century and is known for using the finest ingredients, processes and sustainability practice. But, if you’re getting it for your bestie, maybe they won’t mind, and if it’s for a coworker or family member, it would make for a pretty funny conversation starter.
- AprikaLife Handmade Matcha Tea Gift Set
For: Your health-nut friend.
That tea-lover in your circle will most definitely appreciate this matcha tea gift set. Matcha itself is a special kind of green tea leaf packed with antioxidants found in Japan and stone ground into a powder.
Its bright green color comes from the accelerated photosynthesis process of being partially grown in the shade. Ceremonial matcha is the highest grade you can find, and this gift set will quickly become a morning routine staple for brewing the perfect cup every time. The set itself comes with 1.05 oz of ceremonial matcha powder, a bamboo whisk, spoon, scoop, sifter, ceramic bowl, and whisk holder.
For: Your fashionista sister.
What’s buttery soft, chic, and gives total baddie vibes? Leather jackets are it. For those who love the look but aren’t a fan of where the materials come from, this vegan leather jacket is the perfect compromise.
Made with high-quality, highly durable vegan leather and features steel zippers, snap buttons, and a velvet lining for ultimate warmth and comfort. The smart-casual design makes it a cold-weather outfit staple for day and night with its slim fit, removable hood, and five total pockets.
For: Your Disney-obsessed daughter.
Disney fans will love this adorable Mickey backpack by Loungefly. The mini backpack comes equipped with a main zipped pocket, an outer zipped pocket and two side pockets. It’s perfect for holding all the essentials: phone, keys, wallet, snacks, water, makeup, and toiletries, and is sure to generate a sea of compliments wherever it’s spotted.
The faux-leather design is smooth to the touch and the adorable mouse ears give it an extra unique touch, all finished with a Mickey glove charm. All in all, this is one of our favorite plant based and vegan holiday gifts to give this season.
