Below you’ll find a list of some of my favorite products and items that I use and love! Everything I use is vegan, and I hope you find this list helpful for gift ideas for either loved ones or yourself!
Anima Mundi Herbals
I love so much from Anima Mundi, but my favorites are the Golden Moon Milk, the Happiness Blend coffee alternative, and the Dirty Rose Chai Collagen Booster. You can also stock up on lots of bulk herbs. All of these and more would be perfect gifts for anybody!
Rancho Gordo Beans
If you follow my Instagram, you knew this one was coming! Rancho Gordo beans are heirloom beans grown in Napa Valley and are the best beans you’ll ever eat (in my opinion)! Any variety of bean you choose to try will be delicious, but my favorites are Marcella beans, Good Mother Stallard beans, and Domingo Rojo beans. They offer several gift boxes, including a vegan specific one. If you’re lucky, you may be able to get a spot on their coveted Bean Club!
Burlap and Barrel Spices
Burlap and Barrel source single origin spices from small farms around the world and are some of the best spices I’ve ever had! You can build sets of 3, 6, 9, or 12, purchase single spices, or sign up for their quarterly Spice Club. Note that I am an affiliate of B&B. Use the code CHICKPEA (or click the link) for a free Robusta Black Peppercorn with any $15+ purchase (just add it to the cart).
Waterdrop Microdrinks and Bottles
I’m obsessed with Waterdrop‘s flavored drinks and bottles! Their flavor cubes are more eco-friendly than a plastic bottle and are made out of compressed fruits and plants. Their bottles are beautiful and high quality – I love their glass bottles and they are what I use every day at work. Use this referral link for $15 off your first purchase, and make sure to sign up for a rewards account!
Cape Haterras Coffee
I discovered this coffee on a recent trip to North Carolina, and it is the best coffee I’ve ever had. This would be a perfect gift for a coffee lover!
Cold Brew Coffee Maker
This cold brew coffee maker is perfect for somebody who likes iced coffee. It’s really compact and makes delicious concentrated coffee.
Flower Mill Beauty Face Oils
I’m obsessed with the face oils from Flower Mill! They are made with clean, high-quality ingredients that feel light and aren’t greasy feeling. My favorite is the Botanical Enriched Serum, and I also love the Firm & Glow Oil and the Marula & Camellia Seed Oil.
Viori Shampoo and Conditioner Bars
I’ve been using these bars for years, and I love them! Viori partners with and supports the Red Yao community in Longsheng, China to purchase the rice that is used in their bars, which helps them preserve their culture. These bars are vegan, cruelty free, and zero waste.
Osea Skincare
Osea is another company with clean, high-quality ingredients that I love. The Undaria Algae Body Oil, the Red Algae Clarifying Mask, or the Ocean Cleansing Mudd are some of my favorites and are all great gifts!
Gua Sha Face Tool
I have the Rose Quartz Gua Sha, and I use it almost daily. This tool improves blood circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness, and smooths skin. This would be a great gift for anybody!
Vegan Lotion
There are two brands of lotion that I love, and both are available at Target. Andalou Naturals body lotion and Raw Sugar body lotion are two of my favorites and are both vegan and cruelty free.
Teabloom Tea Kettles
I absolutely love this kettle! It is a perfect all-in-one for loose leaf tea, and even has a temperature gauge so that you heat the water to the perfect temperature for the kind of tea you are making. I also use this mini kettle for single servings of tea. Either would be a great gift for a tea lover!
Nespresso Frother
I love this frother! It has both hot and cold options, which is perfect if you like to make iced coffee at home. My go-to is coconut milk, but soy and almond both work well also. I sometimes blend powder such as matcha directly with the milk to easily make a smooth latte.
King Arthur Measuring Cups and Spoons
I am lucky enough to live and work minutes from the King Arthur flagship store in Vermont, so I had to include my favorite product of theirs! You can choose from the measuring cups, the measuring spoons, and if you are feeling adventurous, the odd sized measuring spoons! You can also get the complete set of everything. These might seem expensive, but they are very high quality. I have them all!
Ozeri Non-Stick Pan
I’ve tried so many non-stick pans (that typically stop being non-stick after about 6 months…), and this one is the best I’ve had. Everything cooks so smoothly, and it cleans up with almost no effort. The price point is also significantly less than other pans.
Kombucha Starter
Kombucha is fun and easy to make. This is the starter that I use, and the scoby can be used over and over with preservation. Have fun playing around with different flavors!
Steel Straws
The Klean Kanteen steel straws are my favorite and the ones I use for everything! They come in both black and a variety of fun colors and would be a great gift for anybody.
Wicked Healthy Cookbook
This list wouldn’t be complete without a cookbook! The Wicked Healthy cookbook is by my favorite chefs, Chad and Derek Sarno, and is filled with easy and delicious recipes that everybody will like. Definitely my top recommendation if you are looking to gift a cookbook (or buy it for yourself)! Bonus: check out the Wicked Kitchen YouTube channel for lots of easy recipes as well!
Sonder LA Cutting Board
I absolutely LOVE my Sonder cutting board, and I use it every day! I have the Alfred board. These boards are very high quality and beautifully made. This would be a great gift for somebody who cooks a lot!
2nd Wind Sticky Yoga Mat
This sticky yoga mat is what I use for my (almost) daily yoga, and I love it! The designs are beautiful and the lines help me with positioning (I’m seeing new designs looking this up that I want!), and the sticky material helps you grip to prevent too much sliding around. This is definitely a great gift for anybody who does yoga!
Staub Cast Iron Cocotte
This cast iron pot can be used on the stove or in the oven is perfect for cooking soup, beans, or even bread! Staub makes high quality items, and you won’t regret buying this!
Matt and Nat Vegan Leather Bags
I love Matt and Nat products and have several bags for different occasions: tote bag for work, backpack for work, 2 sizes of cross shoulder bags that are perfect for errands, and a small wallet that I can grab and stick in a coat pocket. They are classy looking vegan leather and would be an amazing gift for anybody!
Will’s Vegan Shoes
Will’s makes vegan leather shoes for both men and women that are super high quality. I have the Aviator boots that I wear to and from work or around town doing errands as well as a pair of heeled boots that I love for a classier look. They also make clothing and accessories, so there’s something for everybody!
Milkmade Dairy Free Milk Maker
This is a recent purchase of mine, and it is amazing! This machine makes dairy free milk in a matter of minutes, doesn’t produce pulp (it turns it all into milk), and runs a self-cleaning cycle directly after the milk is finished. It works similar to a coffee maker where the finished milk drains into a glass container that is very easy to clean. I’ve successfully made almond, hazelnut, and pecan milk and am excited to keep trying different types! This would definitely be a great gift for somebody who uses a lot of dairy free milk.
Vitamix Blender
A Vitamix blender would be an amazing gift for anybody! I bought this blender over 5 years ago, and I use it daily for everything from smoothies to cheese sauce to soup to homemade chocolates. This is the highest quality blender in my opinion, and you won’t be disappointed!
Excalibur Dehydrator
The Excalibur is the best non-commercial dehydrator on the market. I use it for everything from drying herbs, fruit, and veggies to culturing cashew cheese to making candied nuts. If you want to preserve food or eat more raw foods, this is definitely worth the purchase!
Gardyn Hydroponic Indoor Garden
I have had my Gardyn for a couple years now, and I love it! It’s very easy to use and grow everything from herbs to lettuce to tomatoes and peppers. It’s great if you want to grow your own food and don’t have the outdoor space (or even if you do, like me!). I love having fresh herbs and greens throughout the winter season. You can use my referral code rfstephanie18708 for $125 off.
ThriftBooks Gift Card
I order almost all of my books second-hand from ThriftBooks for a fraction of the price. This would be an amazing gift for any book lover! Make sure to sign up for a rewards account to get free books! Use my referral link here.
ThredUp Gift Card
I get almost all of my clothes second-hand from ThredUp. You can refine your search and find almost anything you are looking for at a cheaper price. Use my referral link here.
Food Future Institute Cooking Course
Learning is the best gift, in my opinion! FFI’s Foundations: Phase 1 course is the year long plant-based culinary course that I took. It was super comprehensive and it elevated my cooking to a whole other level. If you aren’t ready to dive into a course that intensive, FFI’s Home is a perfect place to start as it is shorter with no time limit and covers more of the basics of plant-based cooking.
I hope you enjoyed this list and found it helpful! Let me know if you purchase anything!
