Giving vegan food gifts to family and friends is one of the most thoughtful things to do, and if you’re like me, you’ll love making these tasty edible vegan gifts as much as you’ll love giving them! (And those you give them to will love you for taking the time to make them, as they devour their delicious vegan homemade gifts!).

The holiday season is gift-giving time and what better gift to give and receive than homemade vegan food gifts?

I’ve put together a list of the best vegan food gifts to make and give this holiday. All of the recipes are either from this website or from other amazing websites from around the web.

Note sure who to make these edible gifts for?

These vegan Christmas food gift ideas are perfect for friends, family, your kids’ teachers or bus driver, your mail person, hostesses…pretty much anyone on your list.

Plus, they also make for good treats to put out when entertaining, attending a potluck, or for just snacking on at home to get yourself into the festive mood!

And They’re Also Great for Outside of the Holidays!

Any of these gifts can also be used as vegan thank you gifts, vegan care package ideas, or even a “just because” gift idea for vegan friends (or non-vegan friends!). Because who wouldn’t want to receive vegan food presents?!

All of the following recipes are vegan and gluten free (your giftee won’t know the difference about anything!) and all of them are delicious, decadent, and will definitely be appreciated.

And if you want some store-bought gifts, too, check out my list of gift ideas for your favourite vegan foodies!
