The holidays are just around the corner, and the stressful art of gift-giving is undoubtedly looming over your shoulder. When it comes to vegan gift-giving, options might be limited. Here's a quick guide to my personal favorite vegan companies and products so you can get everyone on your list the perfect cruelty-free presents:
1. Native Shoes
This brand is super popular for toddlers because they make a Croc-like slip-on alternative, but their adult shoes are very stylish! I own a pair made out of their special vegan suede and they are amazingly comfortable and very sleek. I always get compliments!
2. Angela Roi
Finding a quality vegan handbag is sometimes a struggle. Angela Roi uses exclusively vegan "leather" in their designer handbags, and some of the proceeds always go to research to fund research for HIV/AIDS, Alzheimers, cancer, kidney disease, anxiety, or diabetes.
3. Furless Cosmetics
High-quality makeup brushes are often made from animal hair, but furless cosmetics brushes are cruelty-free and sure to satisfy any vegan makeup guru in your life. They also offer a small variety of cruelty-free eyeshadow.
4. Tokyo Bags
Tokyo Bags makes unisex, utilitarian bags out of 100% vegan materials. Their website is very navigable, especially if you're looking for a briefcase that will fit your particular model of laptop or tablet. Their bags are sturdy and fashionable — for a great price!
5. Farm Sanctuary
Everybody loves chocolate — even vegans! Farm Sanctuary is an organization committed to protecting animals from cruelty and advocating for creatures without a voice. Their online store sells apparel and accessories, and also - and most importantly - vegan holiday bon bons!
6. Corkor
7. Herban Cowboy
Any man on your list would be honored and elated to receive an all-natural, vegan cologne or shave soap from Herban Cowboy. Not only are their products ethical, but their packaging is also made from recycled materials. They even offer deodorant!
8. Votch
Every Votch watch is crafted with vegan, plant-based leather. The company launched in 2016, and every 3 months they partner with a different charity and donate a percentage of their proceeds.
