I gave and bought vegan wines and champagne from the Coop. I don't buy non-vegan things - I don't buy animal-derived things for anyone no matter how much they might think they like them !
So, no leather jackets or footwear for my children or even woollen garments and definitely no animal related foodstuffs. I sent a couple of boxes of Viva chocolates, a couple of boxes of viva fudges and a few other miscellaneous goodies bought from the wonderful Veganstore.
Yes, lots of vegan choccies from Dr Hadwen Trust and Viva.
I got some fluffy chunky boots for Xmas which were from VeganStore. They are cream suede type with brown and cream fluff on!!!
I gave lots of vegan goodies particularly food - Xmas pud, mince pies, chocolate Santa, hemp pesto and pasta, hemp walking socks, vegan cooking book and so on.... I got most of things from stores in Brighton including Infinity Foods; the Hemp store (not all stuff is vegan as they use some wool); Montezuma (amazing chocolate shop!) and recipe book from the VeganStore.
Being veggie and vegan can seem like a task, but actually there are lots of ways around it. If you are the only vegan (or veggie) in your family (like me!) there are lots of things you can do.
My Mum makes the biggest turkey ever for Christmas dinner, but there is a lovely nut roast mix available at Holland and Barrett stores in a sachet - called Cashew nut roast.
I add a few extra chopped nuts and it can be cooked in a small tin and only needs about 30mins - so it goes in just after the potatoes do.
If you're lazy, like me, there's lots of veggie friendly gravy, or bisto instant (beef) actually has no animal products in (last time I checked) so it can be used for everyone without complaints.
There are lots of Vegan Xmas puds available - though I’d recommend steaming rather than microwaving it as it can get quite dry other wise.
