From skincare to snacks: our top vegan gift ideas

Got someone who enjoys the finer things in life? Treat them to this small but mighty brightening trio from Antipodes. With products worth £58 in total, you’ll save a crisp £10 on this set. They’ll unwrap the Glow Vitamin C Brightening Serum, a bronzing and illuminating gel with bakuchiol and Kakadu plum. There’s also the Gospel Vitamin C Skin-Glow Gel Cleanser with Vinanza grape and kiwi extract for the ultimate fresh feeling. Finally, the Diem Vitamin C Pigment-Correcting Water Cream adds a splash of luxe to their routine, combining vegan peptides with vitamin C for a glassy finish.

Skincare doesn’t have to be fussy – what matters is that it works. Q+A brings the beauty ingredients you love to science-led, affordable options. Enter their Skincare Treats, three bestsellers that work as a ready-made routine. First is the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Cleanser, a silky gel cleanser that removes makeup in a swipe and will leave them feeling plump and refreshed. Then there’s the Niacinamide Facial Serum, which gently unclogs pores and soothes oil-prone skin. Finish with the Vitamin C Face Cream, made to add zing to tired under eyes and pigmented patches.

When you think of haircare gifts, it’s probably a weekly mask or a serum for special occasions. Instead, why not add luxury to the products they’ll need every wash? Sea Magik’s trio is the perfect mix of self-care and practicality, boasting two full-sized treats and a mini from their Pink Salt range.

Booja Booja: so nice we’ve included it twice. This one’s the stocking filler they’re secretly hoping for, perfect for Boxing Day scoffing or saving until the January blues hit. Imagine tiny dark chocolate and hazelnut ganache spheres, rolled in chocolate flakes. If you’re not sold, we’re not sure what to tell you. They’re the perfect addition to a plant-based foodie hamper, self-care basket or Secret Santa – so write your Nice List and stock up.

Matcha maestros, form a line. PerfectTed has put together four of their top flavours in a bundle fit for any fancy drink lover. Whether it’s Original, Vanilla, Blueberry or Strawberry, PerfectTed’s matcha is always handpicked, ceremonial grade and contains 68mg (original) or 43mg (flavoured) of caffeine for the perfect break. Just pair with hot or iced plant milk. Velvety, grassy and a little quirky, it’s one for your friend who’s on trend but likes to keep things actually useful. Or split them up for multiple matcha-loving mates in a vegan hamper.

If you know, you know. And if you don’t... well, you’re in for a revelation. Plant-based or otherwise, we’ve yet to see a choc lover who doesn’t love Booja Booja. Their Award-Winning Vegan Selection Box is back for another year, featuring highlights like Around Midnight Espresso, Almond Salted Caramel, Hazelnut Crunch and Rhubarb and Vanilla Fool. Every handmade bite is plant-based, organic, dairy-free and free from soy and gluten.
