Vegan Gift Guide: 25 PETA-Approved Christmas Presents for 2025
If you’re looking for vegan gifts for a special someone in your life (or yourself, no judgement here), you’ll be relieved to know that it couldn’t be simpler to find cruelty-free presents pretty much anywhere you’re doing your Christmas shopping.
Being vegan extends far beyond what you eat: vegans don’t use, abuse, or exploit other animals in any way – and buying gifts that aren’t derived from cruelty has never been easier. From sloth earrings to a Traitors Live Experience, here are our picks of the best.
Vegan Fashion Christmas Gifts
Clothes, jewellery, and accessories are among the most popular Christmas gifts – and choosing options that don’t harm animals is a snap. Here are some of our favourite vegan fashion gifts for 2025.
Knee High Boots – V.GAN
We’re huge fans of this “uncompromisingly vegan” brand that specialises in sturdy, durable, and beautiful animal-free shoes. Knee-high boots are a winter staple, and the brand’s BRAM product brings all the style without any animal exploitation. Leather is a co-product of the meat industry. Cows and other animals exploited for their skin languish in filthy factory farms before being sent to slaughter, but V.GAN’s boots are made with vegan leather that’s completely free from cruelty.
Hemp and Cotton Jumper – Poetry
Plant wool is all the rage right now, with materials like hemp, bamboo, and even orange peel being utilised by forward-thinking designers. This gorgeous, buttery soft jumper from Poetry is made from a combination of organic cotton and hemp. It features a stylish button detail at the shoulder and comes in five different colours.
Bamboo Socks – Swole Panda
Dubbed “the world’s softest socks,” this gorgeous range is about to upgrade your Christmas stocking. Bamboo is a soft, breathable, and highly sustainable plant wool that’s also hypoallergenic – no nasty itching here. These socks come in a wide range of fun colours and patterns – from navy penguins to pink sheep.
Animal Jewellery – Jana Reinhardt
This adorable jewellery brand creates a variety of necklaces, rings, earrings, and more with cute animal charms. You can pick pretty much any animal you like – from cats and dogs to aardvarks and chameleons. You can even get a necklace featuring a loved one’s companion animal. There’s a piece of jewellery for every taste, style, and preference at this brand – and our favourite is definitely the sloth earrings.
Winter Boots – Minuit Sur Terre
We’re not exaggerating when we say we want to keep these impossibly cosy boots on all through winter. They come from vegan French fashion brand Minuit Sur Terre, and feature eco-friendly materials made from grains – no cruel and planet-warming sheep’s wool here. The boots are available in a few patterns, but our top pick is the leopard print.
Watch – Votch
When Votch’s founder learnt about the horrors of the leather industry, she vowed never to wear the skin of another animal ever again. That’s when Votch – a cruelty-free watch and accessories brand – was born. Using innovative vegan materials such as Piñatex, a sustainable fabric made from pineapple leaves, Votch combines sleek watch faces with watch straps that no animal has to die for. With various colours and designs, Votch will surely have the perfect watch for you or a loved one.
Wallet – Watson and Wolfe
Who wants to carry round a piece of animal skin in their pocket? Thankfully, vegan wallets are rapidly growing in popularity, and we can’t get enough of the offerings from Watson and Wolfe. They’re reasonably priced, look smart, and can even be personalised with a loved one’s initials. This is a long-lasting vegan Christmas gift with a personal touch.
Barefoot Sneakers – Will’s Vegan Store
A firm PETA favourite, Will’s Vegan Store offers a range of shoes, clothing, and accessories made from the highest quality vegan leather and vegan suede. One of our top picks for 2025 is this incredible pair of Barefoot Sneakers, which make for a wonderful gift. These ultra-comfy shoes help the wearer feel grounded and strong and are designed for everyday use. Will’s Vegan Store has been certified carbon neutral since 2016, so you can shop to your heart’s content, knowing you’re having a positive impact on animals and the planet.
Apple Tote Bag – Miomojo
If you had to guess what materials Miomojo uses for its bags, we’re willing to bet apples and olives wouldn’t be high up on your list. But this tote bag is crafted from UPPEAL, a premium apple-based material. If you’d prefer it in dark green, this bag is made using Oleatex – a revolutionary fabric made from bio-waste from the olive industry. A perfect gift for sustainably minded individuals.
Vegan Cosmetics Gifts
Vegan cosmetics gifts contain no animal derivatives and come from brands that don’t test on animals. Thankfully, a growing number of cosmetics companies are shunning animal exploitation in their products and supply chains – so here are our top picks of vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics gifts.
Gift Set – Sol De Janeiro
You’ll likely have heard of Sol De Janeiro’s viral Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but did you know it’s cruelty-free and vegan? Sol De Janeiro’s full range is free from animal exploitation, and there are several nourishing gift sets to treat a loved one to this year. Our top pick is the Glow Ready With Me Bum Bum Body Routine Set, which features the brand’s hero product, plus body wash, scrub, and perfume mist.
Day Cream – One Tribe
One Tribe Cosmetics is one of our favourite up-and-coming vegan cosmetics brands, and we cannot get enough of its luxurious skincare line-up. The Sweet Grass Day Cream is a perfect vegan Christmas gift – crafted with a special blend of plants that leaves your skin smooth, luminous, and silky throughout the day.
Caramel Gift Set – The Body Shop
No vegan Christmas gift guide is complete without a mention of The Body Shop, the iconic cruelty-free cosmetics brand that went fully vegan in 2024. It’s tricky to choose which of its many Christmas gift sets is the best, but one we’ll definitely be buying this year is the Caramel Gift Set, which features three cosy, caramel-scented gifts made especially for the holiday season.
Self-Care Essentials Set – Battle Green
Christmas may be a magical time, but it can be a tiring one, too. For those prone to overindulgence, this vegan and cruelty-free self-care kit will be a welcome gift. It features a clay face mask, lip balm, soap slice, and reusable bamboo cotton pads, all packaged in a cotton wash bag.
Edible Vegan Gifts
You really can’t go wrong with the gift of food at Christmas, particularly when the edible vegan Christmas gift options are so tasty. Vegan chocolate and cheese gifts are our highlights for 2025 – dairy-free and delicious.
Chocolate Coins – Fetcha Chocolates
Scraping out a little bag of chocolate coins from the bottom of the stocking is a beloved Christmas tradition for many – and these fit the bill perfectly. Fetcha Chocolates is an organic vegan chocolate brand that offers a wide variety of dairy-free treats. As well as the coins, you’ll find plant-based selection boxes, bars, and hot chocolate. If that’s choice overload, opt for a voucher to leave the decision to the lucky gift recipient.
Vegan Treats Hamper – Marks and Spencer
If you’re looking for a vegan hamper for 2025, it doesn’t get much better than The Vegan Treats Gift from M&S. It features some of the most popular sweet treats from the brand’s vegan range, Plant Kitchen – including Salted Caramel Fudge, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Single Origin Smooth Hazelnut Chocolate.

Vegan Poetry Book – Soni Kaur
My Name is Soni by Soni Kaur is the first-ever book publication to be certified vegan with The Vegan Society’s Vegan Trademark. (The physical book is certified vegan, not the written content.) The poems are printed with Algae Ink, and this book’s manufacture, development, paper, inks, and glue are all animal-free. It’s one for the poetry lovers!
Cookbook – Soph’s Plant Kitchen
Another winner of a 2025 Vegan Food Award, Soph’s Plant Kitchen is packed full of tasty, fibre-rich, and high-protein recipes that are perfect for new and established vegans alike. Recipe highlights include Falafel Pot Pie, Tofu Nuggets, plus an indulgent Dark Chocolate and Orange Pudding.
Soy Wax Candle – So Soy
Some candles still contain beeswax, but So Soy’s scented candles are vegan and cruelty-free. There are lots of scents to choose from – including a festive Christmas Tree option – and each will have you feeling cosy throughout the winter season.
The Dame Joan Collins Vodka Martini Gift – Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer has collaborated with Dame Joan Collins to produce this Vodka Martini Gift, which comes complete with a bottle of Vodka Martini Cocktail alongside two martini glasses. If you’re looking for a vegan gift for your fun auntie, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Coffees of the World Gift Set – Whittard
For coffee fans in your life, this beautiful gift set is sure to be up their alley. It includes a selection of nine high-quality coffees from around the world, ranging from Colombia to Ethiopia, and each packet features a cute animal illustration.
Vegan-Friendly Experience Gifts
Days out or excursions are a popular Christmas gift for those who prefer experiences over products, and there are plenty of exciting activities that don’t involve confining or otherwise exploiting animals (check out PETA’s list of animal-friendly days out). Here are some vegan experience gift ideas to explore in 2025.
Voucher – Lush Spa
Lush is renowned for its gorgeous-smelling stores packed full of beautiful cosmetic products, but did you know it also has its own spa? There are several branches nationwide, including in London, Birmingham, Bath, Leeds, Edinburgh, and Cardiff. Everything Lush uses is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and you can choose from a wide range of vouchers – from simple facials to an 80-minute full-body massage.
Voucher – The Base Vegan Retreat Animal Sanctuary
The Base Vegan Retreat is a magical little animal sanctuary tucked away in Bristol. It offers the truly unique experience of allowing visitors to stay the night in its luxury bespoke built cabin. The retreat has a hot tub, cold plunge, and – of course – lots of rescued animal friends – including chickens, ducks, and rabbits – to wake up to. All proceeds from bookings directly support the sanctuary, making this a truly meaningful gift. The sanctuary is entirely vegan, and the cabin accommodates up to four guests at a time.
Stay – Beck Hall
Beck Hall made headlines in 2023 when it removed animal-derived foods from its menu, becoming what’s thought to be the first plant-based hotel in England. The hotel also switched to completely animal-free detergents, conditioners, duvets, and pillows – and will remove all wool and animal skin from carpets and furnishings when they wear out. This hotel is truly vegan for the animals, and it also happens to be in the stunning setting of the Yorkshire Dales. If you want to gift your partner a romantic getaway for Christmas, it doesn’t get much better than Beck Hall.
Live Experience for 2 – The Traitors
Everyone and their grandmother watched The Celebrity Traitors this year, and if you and a loved one are clamouring to try out the murder mystery game for yourself, this is the ultimate gift. This voucher buys you two seats at The Roundtable at The Traitors: Live Experience, Covent Garden. You’ll play either a Traitor or a Faithful and work as a team to complete missions, strategise, and suss out the lies of your fellow teammates to ultimately win the game.
