Vegan Gift Guide 2012 . Everything Else

These gifts may fall under 'everything else', but are some of my favorites. 

Artisan Vegan Cheese cookbook - for most vegans, cheese is what we miss most (including me!) and making vegan cheese has to be one of the greatest joys in a vegan's life.

Speaking of cooking, this cookbook looks so amazing...and perfect for the holidays. My mom's birthday was just last week and a lovely friend made her a pie from Vegan Pie in the Sky and topped all of our gifts.

Tom's makes a handful of vegan shoes, and they are uber-comfy.

Josie Maran cosmetics has a list of all of their products that are vegan and luckily their bronzing argan oil is! Seriously moisturizing with a hint of color.

Urban Decay has some killer vegan products - like these Lip Junkie lip glosses.

I love this print from Herbivore - What I Eat.

And finally, Colorado Whiskey + Stout Bars by Desiderio Chocolates. Chocolate ganache and caramel...mmmmmmm.

Vegan Gift Guide 2012 . Apparel

When it comes to vegan apparel, t-shirts in particular, I have a few favorites... 

Vaute Couture - maker of beautiful wool-free coats, also makes some really cool t-shirts, tanks and sweatshirts.  

Gnome Enterprises does great graphic tees, I just bought this one for myself!

Here are some others from Gnome that I love...

And Herbivore always offers great graphic tees and sweatshirts.

Most of these shirts, or similar designs, are available for women, men + kids, and make awesome gifts.

Vegan Gift Guide 2012 . Subscription Gifts

If you're looking for something that will last longer than a box of chocolates, here are a few ideas that might be up your alley. 

Conscious Box offers a vegan box filled with vegan products from cleaning products to granola bars to candles...every month is different.

Vegan Cuts also has their own version with 5-8 different vegan products every month.

Gone Pie also has a monthly subscription program - you can choose 3, 6 or 12 months. Each month your recipient will receive some killer gluten free and vegan treats, which include cobblers, cakes, pies + brownies.

Wouldn't you love to receive one of these every month???

Vegan Gift Guide 2012 . Sweet Treats

I don't know about you, but I'm obsessed with gift guides. I love finding the perfect gifts for my family and friends, and I search high and low each year for everyone on my list. So this year, I thought I'd start my own all vegan gift guide. 

To start it off...my favorite category...sweets.

Allison's Gourmet has some truly amazing treats. The Salted Confections Gift Set would be my first choice - Salted Chocolate Brittle, Salted Vanilla Caramels + Salted Chocolate Caramels.

Obsessive Confection Disorder has what they call a Cara-Mallow that looks crazy good. Vanilla Bean Caramels with a Sweet & Sara Marshmallow inside.

Lagusta's Lucious offers a Big Assortment with options like mint matcha creams, rosemary sea salt caramels, raspberry balsamic truffles and peppermint patties. Doesn't it look gorgeous?!

Vosges has a Lucious Vegan Truffle Collection with Coconut and Acai truffles, both made with coconut cream.

Babycakes NYC now sells baking mixes + frosting from their online store. I would go for their Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix!

You can also order a box of 5, 10 or 25 Mast Brothers chocolate bars. These chocolate bars are crazy good, no matter which flavors you get, and how lovely is the packaging?!

 Sticky Fingers' Peppermint Brownies would be the perfect dessert for the holidays.

And Vegan Treats is selling a dozen Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese! Vegan Treats is one of my very favorite vegan bakeries.

I would be thrilled by any of these sweet treats. I'll be featuring even more vegan gifts later this week!
