Vegan gift baskets are some of the most thoughtful and useful gift ideas for friends, colleagues, and relatives.


Whether full of tasty vegan snacks or eco-friendly products, vegan gift baskets spread the message of love and compassion.


As vegan snack and beauty box curators, we know a thing or two about vegan products.


Here's our take on the best vegan gift baskets that'll impress on any occasion.


What To Put In A Vegan Gift Basket?


Deciding to gift a vegan basket, box or care package does take a little thought.

Firstly, it's important to establish what kind of gift basket it will be.


Some common vegan gift baskets are:


  • Vegan food baskets - This could be vegan snacks, fruit, cooking products, or herbs and spices
  • Eco-gift baskets - These baskets contain sustainable products that are planet-friendly.
  • Beauty gift baskets - Vegan beauty baskets contain everything from skincare, makeup, and cosmetic products.
  • Holiday gift baskets - Themed baskets are popular around Christmas, Easter, and many other holiday dates.

Secondly, it's very important these gift baskets are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 


This can become difficult when choosing beauty products, as not all vegan products are also cruelty-free and vice versa. 


Don't know the difference?

Lastly, you'll want to curate these vegan and cruelty-free products into a single basket that matches the theme and fits perfectly before gifting it to your giftee.
