For non- vegetarians it can be a nightmare trying to decide which gifts are suitable for vegetarians, and it can be even harder to buy gifts for vegans.
Fear not, however, because fantastic gifts are just a mere click away, and are sure to put a smile on the faces of your vegetarian/vegan family members, friends or loved ones.
Whilst those who eat meat, or have never had to buy for a vegetarian, may think that buying gifts for vegetarians is really straight forward, the reality is, that it is not. Did you know that regular cheese, for example, contains a substance known as rennet which is essentially an enzyme taken from an animals stomach, usually from a calf or a cow? Or that many alcoholic drinks, including wine, contain substances which are derived from animal bones, or fish swim bladders or ox blood?
Many occasions such as birthdays, Valentines Day and Christmas, of course, come around every twelve months, which means that if you've been buying gifts for a vegetarian for number years, it can become increasingly difficult to find that perfect gift each year. Once you have given a number of CD's and DVDs, not to mention copious amounts of jewelry, aftershave and perfume, you may think that you've exhausted every option, but you haven't. There are an array of different and unusual gifts for vegetarians which you probably haven't even considered yet.
Just follow the links to view the full range of gifts for vegetarians and vegans at Amazon.com

Anyone who's tried to find the right gift for a vegan friend or loved one will no doubt be aware just how problematic this can be. Not only do vegans not consume meat or dairy but they will not wear or use any items which have been manufactured using animal byproducts. It can be a laborious task having to research specific products to ensure that they are suitable for vegans. Fortunately, the gift items featured here have been carefully researched to ensure that you can give your vegan friend or loved one a gift that wont offend.

Vegans who love cookies will adore the Vegan Cookie Gift Basket. The smaller basket contains peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin walnut, banana nut, lemony lemon and cinnamon twist cookies. Who could resist?

Chocolates are a classic gift, but when it comes to buying chocolates for vegans it can be a daunting prospect. Of course, non-dairy dark chocolate is normally suitable for vegan consumption, but sometimes the fillings are not vegan friendly.

The computer crashed before I conveyed another component of my observation and question in the comment box immediately below.
Unitedstatesian wine labels sometimes equate sulfite ingredients -- not animal bones or fish swim bladders or ox blood! -- with somewhat execrable experiences against enjoying their products.
Might UK labels mention them?
The first paragraph in the first subheading, Gifts for vegetarians, advises us that "many alcoholic drinks, including wine, contain substances which are derived from animal bones, or fish swim bladders or ox blood."
Is there any information about which alcoholic drinks include these unexpected ingredients?
The third subheading, Vegetarian Awards Coffee Gift Basket. apprises us of the many vegetarian-amicable coffees out there.
Are the same coffee-gift baskets available for vegans?
2uesday, thank you, I've just realised that I need to add why it's so difficult to choose gifts for vegans and vegetarians. As I'm a vegetarian I just took it for granted, when obviously to some meat eaters or non vegans it's not obvious at all. Now I'm going to edit accordingly. :)
Hi Katie,
I know what you mean, I can't help but look at the vegetarian gift basket, amongst others, and say "I want one" :)
What a fantastic page of Christmas Gifts for Vegetarians and Vegans this is right up my alley, love the baskets. Happy Holidays :)K
