4 / For the cook
Plant-Based on a Budget
by Toni Okamoto
Gifts should be about what
speaks to the receiver and
whether it brings something
useful for them. For a veg-curious
friend, this cookbook does just
that! What’s better than the gift of
delicious, accessible vegan food?
5 / For the
fashion lover
Brave GentleMan Gray
Tweed Moto Jacket
This jacket is one of my all-time
favorites. It’s ethically made with
high-quality vegan materials,
and it looks great with literally
everything. Done.
6 / For the
frequent flyer
Ecoism Passport Cover
During a recent trip to Thailand,
I came across Ecoism, an
environmentally conscious store
that recycles old materials to
keep them out of landfills and waste
dumps. This passport cover
is affordable, yet feels luxurious—
I bring it along on all my flights,
even if they’re domestic.7 / For the
gadget guru
Philips Hue Lights
I moved to Los Angeles this year
and had to add these smart
lights all over my new home. You
can dim them, set them to an
alarm, change the color to fit theambiance, and loads more. If you
want to help transform someone’s
space, this is your best bet.8 / For the
significant other
LUSH Perfume
Among all the mainstream choices,
vegan perfume can be really
difficult to find due to tricky hidden
animal byproducts. Luckily, LUSH
exists. They have a huge range
of diverse scents that are vegan
and cruelty-free. The dreamy,
intoxicating Vanillary scent is the
perfect gift for your loved one.9 / For the student
Votch Watch
Whether you’re an actor or a student
(and I’ve been both), it’s alwaysimportant to be punctual, so why not
stay on time in style with an elegant
leather-free watch? Votch’s are
durable, sleek, and beautiful.10 / For yourself
Sonos One Speaker
These humidity-resistant, responsive
speakers allow me to play music
across all different rooms—it’s
probably one of my favorite gifts I’ve
given myself. If you’re like me, always
singing, dancing, and wishing music
would follow you everywhere you
go, then wish granted!1
