For the ones who's had an addition to the family: VEGAN Happy Vegan Babies' Romper Suit 

VEGAN Happy's cosy babies' romper in cotton makes a great gift as it's soft and comfortable as well as durable – it can be passed down once the child has grown out of it. The refreshing colours will make baby photos even more adorable.

For the one who just moved house: Sun.day of London Luxury Vegan Candle Midnight (Somewhere)

Nothing creates an atmosphere like a scented candle, and the lavender and rose fragrance of this Sun.day of London beauty will help your friend's new abode feel like home from the start. Made from coconut and plant waxes, it will infuse the space with a delicate perfume deriving from five essential oils.

For the pamper lover: Ubiety Uplift Me Box

Give the gift of pampering with Ubiety's uplifting set. The facial mist includes ingredients such as frankincense, neroli, and lemongrass to reinvigorate the skin, while the body salve contains organic shea butter and lavender, offering calm and balance. And the natural plant wax candle has been carefully blended to invoke serene woodlands with cedarwood, sage and yang-ylang.

Nothing adds a hint of glamour like the right bag – and this silver-toned vegan leather style from LaBante London is the perfect after-dark accessory. Its contrasting gold-hued chain detailing adds interest, while the quilted finish lends a touch of texture.

For the sneakerhead: R-Kind Unisex Vegan Leather Sneakers Titan Khaki 

A gender-neutral design in non-toxic PU and recycled materials - this gift from Ration.L is one that the sneaker head in your life will fall for. Classic with a twist, this style will offer a casual yet polished appeal to off-duty outfits.

For the fashionista: Votch Margot Vegan Bio-Based Bamboo Leather Crossbody Brown 

Your fashion-forward friend might be on top of the latest trends, but there is one thing they definitely don't have: bamboo leather.
