Selection boxes are a Christmas present staple and there’s a reason why we keep going back to them year after year to gift to other people. With more vegans in the UK than ever before, here’s why they are the perfect gift for the plant based person in your life.

Variety is the spice of life: Selection boxes offer up different options so the recipient won’t get bored of one flavour or product. You can have too much of a good thing. Perfect for the indecisive vegan in your world or the one who gets sick of the same thing over and over again.  

Selection boxes are ideal for people you don’t know too well: If you are buying a Secret Santa gift for the vegan in your office and you’re not sure what they are into, this is the safest choice because- who doesn’t love to snack?! You know it will be a hit even if you don’t know the person’s other interests so you won’t be wasting your money. And if you get the same person next year- you can choose a different one.

Selection boxes are a chance to try new things: Selection boxes may have the firm vegan favourites in there, however they also offer the person you are gifting it to a chance to try something they may not normally buy for themselves. And who knows, it could get a place in their top five!

Selection boxes are inexpensive: If your budget is not huge for the vegan you are buying for- this will bring a smile to their face, but won’t break the bank. Plus if you want a few more cheap presents to a fill out a Christmas sack this is an easy go-to gift to bulk it out.

Selection boxes bring some festive cheer: Vegan brands work hard to make their selection boxes pop, because they are competing with the other brands that people already know and love. So each one is a little piece of art and makes for an attractive gift to give someone- you may not even have to wrap it up if it’s pretty enough as it is.

Vegan treats when there are none: Dairy chocolates, gelatine filled sweets and cheesy snacks- are everywhere you look at Christmastime. Giving a vegan the gift of a selection box means they have something to eat while everyone else is tucking into the non-vegan stuff so they won’t feel left out. Plus the non-vegans are less likely to steal them because the other stuff is so plentiful at this time of year.

There is something for every age group: Perhaps you want a more sophisticated selection for the older vegan in your life or maybe you are looking for one with cute animals on for the dairy free child you buy for every year. The cruelty free brands cater for all- old and young, trendy and traditional, the bingers and the light biters- so there is one to suit every type of vegan. 

Happy Christmas to all the vegans out there!
