For the ones who just had an addition to the family: Pop My Way Organic Cotton Short-Sleeved Bodysuit Mint
Pop My Way's childrenswear in organic 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 mint shade 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 one who's always on the go: Oliver Co. London RFID Compact Apple Leather Vegan Wallet Coastal Blue
Quick to grab, easy to match, and a sustainable choice: what's not to love about this apple-leather wallet from Oliver.Co? It also uses RFID technology which blocks the electromagnetic signal from the cards inside it, making it more difficult for thieves to steal card details.
For the glamorous one: LaBante London Kensington Vegan Crossbody Bag Silver
