All of the chocolates are made in Switzerland, the land of milk chocolate, so you know these will be ahhhmazing!

Some teas contain honey, so just double check the ingredients, they’re also marked.

Gifts that Support Local or National Charities

#40 Make a donation in their honor

Ok, maybe this person has all these lovely vegan gifts, and you’re truly just stumped. In that case, give them a gift that supports an issue or cause that is important to them. So many outstanding local and national organizations would love your support in honor of your friend or loved one.

What Makes a Gift Vegan?

If you’re not a vegan, you may have thought, what in the world makes a gift vegan!? Don’t worry; it doesn’t require any hocus pocus or spending hours searching the internet for that one elusive vegan gift. A vegan gift means it’s free of animal products.

That’s pretty straightforward, right?

That means no eggs, milk, meat, honey, or dairy if it’s a food product. If it’s clothing, avoid anything made with animals like leather, wool, silk, fur, etc. Sometimes products will clearly label their products as vegan, while others don’t, so check the label.

Also, when in doubt, ask Google! Often when I am in the store and checking out a new product, I will double-check this way.

Ok, one last thing, vegan doesn’t mean it’s cruelty-free or vice versa (cruelty-free means no animals were harmed through testing or other activities). When you’re Googling or looking at labels, look for both.
