Vegetarian gifts: Ideas, Treats and What to Check

Vegetarian gifts are easier than vegan ones, but watch for hidden animal ingredients: gelatine in sweets and animal rennet in some cheeses.

Pair any food gift with a card and a note saying you checked the label: it shows you thought about it.

Food

  • Vegetarian cheese selection
  • Veggie hamper
  • Gelatine-free sweets
  • Spice and curry kit

Kitchen

  • A vegetarian cookbook
  • A grow-your-own herb kit
  • A spiralizer
  • A good knife

Experiences

  • A veggie cookery class
  • A vegetarian restaurant meal
  • A farm or foraging day
  • A food festival

Key things to remember

  • Read every label.
  • Ask about allergies if unsure.
  • Non-food gifts are always safe.

Frequently asked questions

Is all cheese vegetarian?

No. Some, like Parmigiano Reggiano, use animal rennet.

How can I make sure a food gift is safe?

Always read the label: recipes change, and 'may contain' warnings matter for allergies and coeliac disease.

What is a good example of vegetarian gifts?

"Vegetarian cheese selection" is one of 12 examples on this page. Pick the one closest to the tone you want, then add a specific detail of your own - a shared memory, a date, a name - so it reads as yours rather than copied.

Can I copy these messages word for word?

Yes. Everything on this page is free to copy, print and read out - no permission or credit needed. Changing one detail so it fits the person is all we would suggest.
