5 Perfect Vegan Valentine's Day Gifts & Date Ideas

So you’re at a loss as to what to get your lovely lover on Valentine’s Day? When one of you is vegan, you can’t just get any old box of chocolates like you might have done in the past.

But never fear! We have a collection of the best vegan Valentine's Day gifts and delicious Valentine's Day recipes to give you some awesome ideas!

If you are new to vegan gift-giving, there are a few things you need to know about what you should and shouldn’t give to a vegan this Valentine's Day.

Generally, as long as the Valentine’s gift doesn’t contain animal-derived ingredients or test on animals, you’re good to go. But how do you know if your present has any of those blacklisted items in it? You really don't want to make a mistake here as it could totally ruin the mood.

Read our guide on vegan gift-giving to find out what ingredients and items aren't vegan. 

Now, without keeping you waiting any longer, here are my 5 best Valentine’s Day vegan gift giving ideas.

#1 A Vegan Pamper Hamper

 

Make it all about them with our smooth and lovely Vegan Pamper Hamper sent anywhere in Australia. This hamper is stuffed with luxurious items made especially to relax and rejuvenate! 

The Pamper Hamper is perfect for a special Valentine’s Day because you can set the mood together by first lighting up our soy wax candle. Next, run yourselves a nice hot bath filled with some of the coconut and hibiscus salt scrub and spend quality time together. Apply the soothing face mask and keep a bottle of vegan champagne close.

Then at the end of the bath, give each other a massage using the moisturising lotion. If that doesn’t all sound romantic, I don’t know what does!

Alternatively, our Golden Glow Vegan Hamper is similar to the Pamper Hamper, only without the moisturiser and plus a luxurious vegan tea. Both a great ideas for Valentine's Day hampers.

#2 A Vegan Chocolate Valentine’s Gift Box

 

Chocolates are the quintessential Valentine’s gift, aren’t they? However, finding a vegan Valentine's chocolate box nearby will probably prove to be difficult, if not impossible. The solution? Buy your Valentine’s vegan chocolates online!

We specialise in vegan hampers and we have two that are filled with our favourite vegan chocolates, perfect for a vegan Valentine's Day! 

The first is our vegan Valentine’s candy box The Sweet Tooth Hamper, ideal for those aching for non-vegan sweets and want the vegan replacements! This vegan Valentine’s box is filled with mixed vegan candies and fruit gums, caramel vegan “Maltesers”, delicious vegan chocolates, and more! 

Our other vegan chocolate hamper; the Choc O'Clock, focuses only on the main event… vegan chocolate! Featuring the best vegan Valentine's Day chocolates including vegan “Maltesers”, two strawberry creme-filled chocolate bears, a luxurious chocolate hazelnut bar, and a crispy coffee chocolate bar. These vegan Valentine's chocolates are all sooooo good, but if they don't tickle your fancy, check out our other romantic vegan hampers to see if one sparks joy for you! 

• Make sure you couple the vegan gift with one of our cute, punny greeting cards to make them feel even more special!

#3 Cook Something Special (and Vegan of Course!)

Cooking for your loved one is a budget-friendly but especially romantic way to show your appreciation. You could cook your partner’s favourite healthy dish, or perhaps make something super decadent that you don’t usually eat, like vegan truffles, sushi, or mousse. 

Here are a few of our favourite, romantic vegan recipes to get you started!

A picnic is a lot less cooking than the previous option, but just as special. Head over to your local health food store and grab some of the most delicious nut cheeses you can find to make yourself a vegan charcuterie board!

Be sure to include olives, hummus, baba ganoush, beetroot dip, grapes, strawberries, vegan meats, crisp sliced-veg, a baguette, or whatever vegan treats tickle your fancy.

Once you've tracked down some amazing vegan picnic treats, pack them all up in a cooler bag with a bottle of vegan champagne, grab a rug or beach towel and head to someplace with a nice view so you can spend time staring into each other's eyes... ¡Que romántico!

#5 Take Them on a Date to Their Fave Vegan Restaurant

Stick to the tried and true romantic gestures and take your partner to their favourite vegan restaurant. We suppose you already know which restaurants they like..? But if you don’t, use the Happy Cow website to find good vegan restaurants near you!

By going to a 100% vegan restaurant, you are not only supporting local vegan businesses (always a good thing) but it’s also going to make the vegan in the relationship sooooooo happy that they can actually eat EVERYTHING on the menu. We think that’s going to make your Valentine’s date night dinner so much more special! 

Plus you'll get to try new vegan foods that will be sure to give you great ideas for your next stay-in date night.

Now go forth and be kind with vegan Valentine’s gifts this February that make every-body happy!
