Vegan hampers make great, easy gifts to give vegans – whether your niece, employee or dad. Since they offer plenty of choice, with a vegan hamper people can eat what they like and give away the rest.
I’ve been vegan since 2008, long before any main brands offered vegan hampers, and I remember in an old job a buzz going round one day at work as everyone arrived at the office for the day. It turned out everyone at work had been given a Fortnum & Mason hamper for Christmas, and when I went to my desk, there was one waiting for me.
But instead of being filled with excitement, I reached for it with some trepidation, only to discover – as expected – I had to give away about 70-80% of my basket because it wasn’t vegan. I was left with just a box of tea, a jar of marmalade, and a gnawing sense of disappointment.
Thankfully, lots of companies have launched vegan hampers in recent years, so if you’re an employer giving out hampers to your employees, you can ensure a vegan hamper reaches the vegan employees! Likewise, if you’re sending a gift hamper to your cousin or your son-in-law, you can gift a vegan hamper. To help you avoid a situation like the one I experienced, I’ve put together this list of vegan hampers I hand-chose as products I love, or hampers I’d personally love to receive.
The best vegan hampers:
Each hamper contains prosecco, vegan chocolate truffles, vegan chocolate, cranberry & clementine cookies, tea bags and vegan salted caramel fudge.
The vegan Christmas hamper from Fortnum & Mason contains vegan Christmas pudding, vegan hot chocolate, mushroom pate, a bottle of wine and more.
This vegan treat bag from M&S comes with vegan cookies, fudge, chocolate hazelnut spread, chocolate and tea. Option to add a personalised message.

Fortnum & Mason vegan hamper
Fortnum & Mason make great vegan hampers for Christmas, or for anytime you want to treat someone to a luxury vegan food hamper, whether that’s a special birthday or anniversary. It’s so amazing that they now offer vegan hampers – I just they had back when my old company gifted everyone a hamper for Christmas and i had to give away most of mine because it wasn’t vegan!
As you would expect, the vegan hamper Fortnum and Mason offer doesn’t come cheap, but it’s full of luxury vegan goods: vegan wine, coffee, tea, jam, Christmas cake, chocolate and more, all inside a hand-woven sustainable wicker basket.
This is my top pick of vegan hampers, but obviously it is on the pricey side, so if you’d prefer a more wallet-friendly alternative, then I’d recommend M&S’s vegan hamper as a mid-range option.
M&S vegan Christmas hamper
If you’re looking for a high-quality vegan hamper, M&S has this bag stuffed chock-ful of goodies from their Plant Kitchen range.
Each of the vegan food hampers contains vegan chocolate truffles, cookies, salted caramel fudge and Prosecco, amongst other treats.
The M and S vegan hamper can be sent with a personalised message, so it’s perfect if you want to send a gift to a loved one and can’t be there in person with them, whether for Christmas or a birthday.
M&S also have their vegan treats gift bag, which is a bit less expensive and not Christmas-themed, ideal if you want to send it for a birthday or other occasion. Their vegan treats box comes with vegan chocolate, vegan chocolate hazelnut spread, tea and vegan cookies.
Etsy Vegan Pamper Hamper
This vegan beauty hamper is for sale on Etsy and is ideal for a night in. I love the look of the spa set! Inside the pamper hamper is coconut body scrub, a bath bomb, bath salts, a face mask, two types of soap and a cotton cloth. I have to admit I’m a sucker for a good bath bomb or salts, so this looks great!
Hotel Chocolat vegan chocolate selection
A friend gave me this for my birthday last year and I became kind of obsessed! The truffles are oh-so-creamy and melt-in-your-mouth and I love the flavour combinations.
Inside each luxury vegan chocolate selection box you’ll find several different truffles, their vegan chocolate salted caramel, gianduja bombes (my favourite), orange batons, and more. I love that it’s not just dark chocolate, they have their creamy ‘nutmilk’ (like dairy milk but using nuts instead to make a vegan version!).
Not on the High Street zero waste vegan beauty hamper
If you’re searching for vegan hamper delivery to send to a friend, this is perfect for a bit of pampering.
Each vegan hamper box contains a selection of cruelty free and PETA approved products, and is also zero waste.
Inside these vegan friendly hampers is a clay face mask, soap slice, vegan lip balm, deodorant and dry shampoo. Speaking from experience I know how tricky it can be to find zero waste vegan versions of deodorant and lip balm so this looks great to me.
Tyne Chease vegan cheese selection box
Tyne was one of the first artisan vegan cheeses in the UK and I still remember the buzz surrounding it when they launched at VegFest one year. Everyone was queueing to try their fermented cashew cheese, a first for the UK.
The bundle includes seven different flavours of their artisan vegan cheeses, all in mini size.
Vegan birthday hamper (select vegan!)
Make sure to select the vegan option!
Featured in Glamour’s “Top 50 gifts” and Vegan Food & Living magazine, these vegan birthday gift baskets are filled with luxury vegan snacks.
Each vegan food gift basket contains 10 items, which change, but recent hampers include: granola, chocolate, pudding, sweets, crackers and more, all 100% vegan of course.
You can also add on their small-batch, handmade gin, rum, whisky or vodka. Or a non-alcholi mocktail
They’ve changed the format of the website recently so make sure you selection vegan under “dietary preferences” as it’s no longer listed as a separate hamper on the site.
Fortnum and Mason vegan picnic hamper
A vegan picnic from Fortnum & Mason obviously comes at a premium but if you’re celebrating a special occasion with a picnic, this premium picnic basket would do the trick. It looks like the sort of thing I’ve seen people feasting on at Glyndebourne in the summer – completely with their own tables and white dining cloths they transport to the countryside with them.
The vegan hamper with wine contains pea & mint dip, pumpernickel bread, truffle nuts, crudites, mushroom pâté, cauliflower tacos, summer slaw and strawberries with Chantilly cream.
The wine is Muscadet and it also comes with a bottle of water plus plates, glasses, a corkscrew, bamboo cutlery, salt and pepper, all in a cool bag.
Happily Ever After Vegan Book Box
Did you now there’s a book-based vegan hamper? UK based Happily Ever After sends boxes of vegan treats (such as biscuits, chocolate and candles) along with a book.
These vegan book box subscription company started in 2021 and make the best gifts! (I sent one to a friend and it went down very well – plus the packaging looked lovely.) Inside, there’s a new book (which they save from going to landfill!), plus vegan treats such as vegan chocolate, a biscuit, tea, a candle or bath bomb. You can choose between different book genres and treats, and you can send a subscription or a one-off box.
You can include a personalised message inside the box as well.
Proceeds go to an animal rescue charity and they send information in the box, like the box I sent my friend which contained a picture of a rescue goat for whom the box helped raise money.
La Fauxmagerie vegan cheese box
La Fauxmagerie is a vegan cheesemonger who opened the first ever vegan cheese shop in the UK in Brixton market (now they’ve moved to larger premises near Brick Lane). I went there when it opened and my friends and I enjoyed all the samples we tried!
Their vegan cheese box, unlike other cheese hampers, has full-sized vegan cheeses from their range.
Add a bottle of wine and some crackers and you’ve got a cheese and wine party ready to go!
More ideas
If you want to gift chocolate, Solkiki make the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted! It’s expensive though – totally handmade and very luxury. It’s all vegan and has won loads of artisanal chocolate awards.
If you want to gift something a little less expensive, Seed & Bean are my current favourite chocolatier. Not all their chocolates are vegan but they have a really interesting selection of vegan flavours including ones I’ve never seen elsewhere, such as lemon and cardamom 58% dark chocolate.
