First thing first: Doesn’t “vegan” just apply to food?
No, the vegan principles do not apply to just food and drink. Things you might expect to be naturally vegan, but can totally have animal derived ingredients include non-leather shoes and fashion accessories, crayons, candles, nail polish, and perfume… just as a starter.
So where do you find the real vegan things? Read on…
Vegan gifts for home lovers
For those who love nothing better than curling up at home and getting cosy, especially in the cold winter months, we’ve got some perfect gift ideas for you.
Hot drinks mugs and pots
Cosy winter days all have something in common: drinks to keep us warm!
Refuge, a luxury chocolate brand that partners with an anti-human-trafficking charity that helps survivors of modern slavery through their path to a brighter future. Their Melt & Mug product is the perfect ethically sourced, vegan gift!
If it’s snacks that they’re after, the Vegan Treats Gift Hamper from Social Stories Club, filled with products with inspiring social stories of how they are transforming communities and the environment, will certainly keep them feeling warm and cosy in their own home.

Snuggly vegan options
With many duvets being filled with non-vegan materials like down, Duvet Hog might be just the place to look for a cosy treat.
Crafted from recycled PET plastic water bottles, you’ll be amazed at how soft, light and warm Duvet Hog’s products are. They’re hypoallergenic and machine washable too.
Duvet Hog Winter Warm Duvet - £75
Another cosy and homie option is this Luxury Eucalyptus Throw / Blanket from Ethical Bedding, a company that innovates in everything from raw materials and packaging, to their manufacturing methods and processes, to bring the most sustainable (and vegan) bedding products to you.
Luxury Eucalyptus Throw / Blanket - £120 / £99
Soy wax candles for chilled nights in
There’s nothing that creates a lovely atmosphere like a candle (especially if you’re spending the evening snuggling under your new duvet with a lovely hot drink). Ethical Bedding (beyond being another great option for duvets) created a beautiful soy-coconut wax candle with world-class perfumier, Daniel Visentin. It comes in 2 different scents for “refresh and uplift” and “sleep and relaxation”.
