June 18, 2008Gifts!My friend Kevin emailed me yesterday asking if I knew about any sites that made vegan gift baskets to send to a friend of his, so I compiled some of the cruelty-free items that I personally would love to get, and I thought I'd share it in case it helps anyone else out. If you want to get food for your friend, Pangea makes gift baskets. Or you could just assemble one yourself from these treats from Food Fight: Crumblz (they taste exactly like Butterfinger bars), Sjaaks Mini Chocolate Cups, Smooch Lions (vegan gummy treats), Alternative Baking Company Cookies (I love the Explosive Espresso Chip), and don't forget to toss in my favorite sticker. Even better? Getting awesome homemade baked goods in the mail from my friend Amanda. If you're shopping for a woman, I don't think you can go wrong with Lush. I'm not a very girly girl, and even I am a sucker for Lush products, particularly the massage bars. I love Wiccy Magic Muscles, but I also want to try Therapy, which claims to reduce stretch marks. Since it's summertime in most parts of the country, a skin-protecting moisturizer like Ultralight would also be nice. When shopping at Lush, looking for the green "V" symbol, which means that the product is vegan. This list doesn't even scratch the surface of great vegan gifts, and if I had more than a half hour to search and window shop, I could probably come up with a list twice as long, but this is a good jumping off point. For more vegan marketplaces, see: Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe, Pangea Vegan Store, and of course Herbivore for awesome clothing, stickers, and books.
