What is a vegan basket?
When it’s time to celebrate whether it’s the holiday season, a birthday, the arrival of a new baby, or an upcoming wedding, sending a gift basket is a wonderful way to show the recipient you’re thinking of them and wish them well.
However, if you’re sending a gift basket to someone who follows a vegan lifestyle it can be tricky to know which gift baskets are appropriate.
A vegan basket is one that does not include any items that contain animal products. This includes the following…
- No food items that contain milk, butter, gourmet cheeses, or other dairy items, eggs, meat, gelatin, whey, or honey.
- Clothing or personal care items that do not include fur, leather, wool, or silk.
- No beauty items have been tested on animals or contain animal by-products.
You might be thinking that all sounds rather complicated.
There’s nothing worse than sending someone a gift they’re unable to use.
That’s why I’ve put together this list to help you sort through all those vegan gift boxes and easily find the right one to send for any occasion. You’ll make a great choice and find an excellent gift that will be adored and cherished.
Note: If you are looking for vegetarian gift baskets, it is okay to include milk, gourmet cheeses, other dairy items, and eggs.
What are the different types of vegan gift baskets?
- Vegan Food and Snack Gift Baskets-These gift baskets contain food items free of animal products. There are fresh or dried fruit baskets, snack, or nut baskets, and even vegan cookie baskets!

They contain a variety of soaps, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. Some also include certified vegan make-up, perfume, or essential oils.
- Vegan Chocolate Gift Baskets-There is such a thing as vegan chocolate! Thank goodness for that because I know I wouldn’t be able to survive without it. These gift baskets include sweet treats that are dairy-free and fair trade.
- New Baby Gift Baskets When someone has a new baby sending them a vegan care package for their baby is the perfect way to show them you care. These gift baskets include certified vegan baby bath products, towels, diapers, and more!
What to include in a vegan gift basket?

What are the best gift baskets that include an assortment of food?
There are many different options on the market when it comes to food baskets. You can find snacks, protein boxes, fruits, and nuts. You may want to consider a coffee set, tea set, or even organic vegan wine!
When buying nut gifts be careful of honey-roasted nuts as those are not vegan. Here you’ll find the tastiest vegan treats along with a few healthier options!
You can find boxes of plums and pears from Harry and David that make simple yet, vegan-friendly gifts!

What are the best vegan beauty gift baskets?
When it comes to beauty you want to look for items that are not only vegan, meaning there are no animal-derived ingredients, but also cruelty-free.
Another thing to consider is finding products with non-toxic ingredients.
Look for items that are paraben and silicone-free. Some of my favorite beauty brands include Pacifica, Juice Beauty, and 100% Pure.
Love, Beauty, and Planet Gift Set
I use Love, Beauty, and Planet as my daily shampoo, conditioner, and lotion! I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality vegan-friendly company. Their products are cruelty-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, dye-free, and formulated without phthalates.

What are the best vegan chocolate gift baskets?
Chocolate is always appreciated. Unfortunately, it can be a challenge to find vegan chocolate boxes. There are many vegan chocolate bars on the market, but not as many truffles that come in a nice presentation.
I always look for chocolates that are fair trade. It’s also a good bet that many dark chocolates will be vegan, but that is not always the case. Always look at the ingredients label before purchasing.
Below you’ll find three of my favorite boxed vegan chocolates!
Amore di Mona Gluten-Free, Vegan Chocolates
These chocolates are free from common allergens, vegan, and gluten-free. They’re also fair trade and come in a beautiful gift box. Perfect for the vegan who loves chocolate!

Hi there, I am from Australia and my son lives in Miami with his partner. They are both Vegan and was trying to find a gift basket with loads of different items i.e chocolates,sweet and savoury snacks,face and hand creams whatever would be a mixed bag of goodies. Just checking is this something you can arrange.
Thankyou Anna Saba

I’m so sorry, but unfortunately I cannot arrange a speciality basket. However, I do recommend the snack box, chocolate box, and skin care gift baskets. Unfortunately, these are three separate gift baskets not one rolled together.
