It may not suit everyone, but the vegan lifestyle offers many benefits to the world.
Despite popular belief, it’s about more than caring for animals and their wellbeing. Going vegan conserves water because livestock drink more fresh water than anything else plus, it encourages plant diversity, and can purify the air by reducing the demand for livestock.
The diet may not be for you, which is totally okay, but your vegan friends and family are doing their part for the environment, which is something we should all support.
When it comes to celebrating them on birthdays and other celebrations, though, it can be a struggle to find a gift they will love and that will also meet their values.
Of course, there is the safe option of buying vegan food products like cakes, biscuits, and trail mixes, but it doesn’t come with the same excitement as a chic handbag or a good book.
We’re not saying your friends and family won’t love a bundle of goods (please, do not abandon that idea), but it won’t hurt to add a little variety into their life.
Luckily ever since the diet became popular over the past few years, its gift industry has boomed, and you can pick out a perfect vegan inspired gift for extra egg-free brownie points.
To take the mystery out of gift-giving for your fave echo-warrior, here are some presents they will talk about for years to come.
