It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, which means it’s time for you to start shopping for vegan Valentines chocolate. So your partner did Veganuary…and stuck with it. Make vegan Valentines special! Buying Vegan Valentine’s Day gifts can be stressful especially if your Valentine has just gone vegan, but it shouldn’t be. That’s why I put together this list of the best vegan Valentine’s Day chocolate. Plus, I’ve listed 16 of the best vegan Valentine’s Day gifts to take the stress out of your Valentine’s Day shopping, and some ground rules for your shopping.

What Shouldn’t You Give a Vegan for Valentine’s Day?

Buying Vegan Valentine’s Day treats shouldn’t be complicated, but it can be. Especially if you love a vegan but don’t know what to get them or even what is and isn’t vegan. Getting vegan Valentine’s Day gifts can be fraught because so many seemingly innocuous products aren’t vegan — like that shower gel you always used to buy Anton before he went vegan, or the sweater you found that would be perfect for Susie, except it contains silk.

Here’s what you should never buy a vegan:

  • Chocolates that contain dairy, including whey or milk solids
  • Chocolates containing cream
  • Non-vegan food (food that contains meat, fish, eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin, whey or other animal-derived ingredients)
  • Makeup that has been tested on animals or that contains non-vegan ingredients (frequently used non-vegan ingredients include lanolin, beeswax and carmine)
  • Bath and body products that have been tested on animals or that contain non-vegan ingredients
  • Clothes made out of fur, leather, wool or silk
  • Coats or bedding made with down or feathers
  • Jewellery made with leather, feathers or pearls
  • Homewares made with bone china
  • Candles or other items made with beeswax or other bee products
  • Non-vegan wine, champagne, beer or cider – that’s right, some alcohols aren’t vegan as some brands are filtered through egg whites or fishbladder. Find out which ones are vegan on Barnivore.

Soy wax candles

Soy wax candles

Another classic gift for your vegan valentine. Not all candles are vegan (some are made with beeswax), but if you choose a soy wax candle like this hand-poured candle, you’re choosing a 100% vegan and eco-friendly candle! Most candles you buy in shops are paraffin (and some contain lead wicks) and made with artificial fragrances and there are concerns about its effects on health and the environment. Soy candles are thought to be more eco-friendly and safer, plus they don’t leave black marks on the walls (that’s from paraffin soot). I love buying handmade candles on Etsy. These organic soy candles come with cotton wicks and you can choose the fragrance you want–they make perfect vegan Valentines day gifts. Click here to see the latest prices.

Vegan spa set

Vegan spa set

This vegan skincare gift set is organic, artisan-made and smells of rose, vanilla lavender, which is relaxing and luxurious.

Spa sets make perfect vegan Valentines Day treats. Click here to check the latest prices.

Vegan Valentine's Day Gifts: budget-friendly homemade spa day

Vegan Spa Day

Treat your vegan Valentine to a spa day. Call local spas or beauty salons that offer massages/other pampering treatments and ask what products they use and if they can use vegan and cruelty-free products only. Many spas now use vegan-friendly lines so it’s worth asking about it.

Bath Bombs

Another classic vegan Valentine’s Day gift: perfume. Some perfumes are tested on animals, or contain animal-derived ingredients, but all of Pacifica’s products are vegan.

I don’t have any personal experience of aftershave, but I’ve heard good things about Pacific Shaving Company’s shaving products. This shaving cream (they also sell a matching aftershave) is paraben-free and has been featured in USA Today and Men’s Health. Click here to check the latest prices.

Crystal Wine Glasses

Yes, wine really does taste different out of thesecrystal wine glasses, and if your Valentine is a wine buff, they’ll love this. Don’t forget to get them some vegan wine to go in the glasses! Click here to check the latest prices.

Vegan Valentine's Day Gift: vegan trip of a lifetime
