I’m DONE! I’m DONE!

For the first time ever, I have completed all of my Christmas shopping before December even started!

I used to very much be one of those December 24th struggling to get it together stressed out people, but this year I refused to do that. I wanted to get my shopping done, not only on time but early. And you know what happened? I’m SO ready and happy that it’s the holiday season. While other people are grunting when they hear the Christmas music playing, I’m singing along, browsing the various brands of vegan nog, watching Christmas movies, sipping Christmas tea… I am ALL about Christmas this year because it’s going to be all fun, and no stress!

My keys to shopping success are simple: order online, do it now, just do it, press order, now you’re done and waiting for packages to arrive. Hooray!

Online shopping really is one of the best things in life… that and nutritional yeast (but more on that later). I put together this 2016 Vegan Gift Guide to help you get your shopping done. These are gift ideas I think any vegan would love to receive. I hope that this list makes your shopping a breeze, and when your done, vegan nog cheers me!

HOMEMADE

Reeses, smeeses. Theses Vegan Peanut Butter Cups are an all time fav, and surprisingly easy to make. You could even make them into holiday shapes!

I made this Vegan Cranberry Pistachio Loaf for a gift trading game for Christmas last year, and it was the first gift chosen, and the selector refused to give it up. ~brushes imaginary dust off of shoulder~

Everyone loves cookies, why not try one or more of the recipes from this collection post of 25 Vegan Christmas Cookies

These should really be made the day of or the day before, but that means they are perfect for a last minute gift idea: Gingerbread Cupcakes

SPLURGES

Leather is a no-no for vegans, but these Cork Oxford Shoes are a yes-yes! A gift certificate to a vegan shoe store would be a real treat for any vegan. Mooshoes (US), Nice Shoes (Canada), or Vegetarian Shoes (UK) are just a few of them.

I’m in love with this Ombre Burgundy Weekender Bag from Pixie Mood (my favourite vegan bag designer). Check out the full selection there are many gorgeous purses and wallets as well.

Most vegans are pretty informed in nutrition, so we know oil is not a health food. That’s why this GoWISE USA Air Fryer is so appealing. It makes fried food with just a teaspoon of oil!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I’m in love with my Blendtec Blender.

This Breville Food Processor was gifted to me, and I adore it. It comes with all sorts of cool accessories, making it slice and dice in seconds.

For the avid baker, a KitchenAid Mixer is a classic.

I hope you found this post helpful. Happy holiday shopping!

Bon Appetegan,

Sam.
