Finding the perfect gift for a coffee or tea lover shouldn’t be complicated
Whether it’s a cozy morning ritual or a daily pick-me-up, thoughtful gifts can elevate their brew game without compromising ethics. From dairy-free creamers to reusable travel mugs, there’s no shortage of options that align with their values while indulging their taste buds.
But let’s be real: the key to a great coffee or tea gift isn’t just what’s in the cup—it’s about the entire experience. With a wide variety of sustainable, stylish, and utterly delicious vegan gifts, there's something for every discerning sipper. So, whether they’re a pour-over perfectionist or a loose-leaf enthusiast, you’ll find something here that’ll make their next brew even better.
QUICK NAVIGATION
There is a dark side to coffee that impacts birds like warblers, orioles, tanagers, wood thrushes, hummingbirds, and other birds who migrate thousands of miles to Latin America for the winter. Coffee farming practices around the globe have eliminated critical habitats for migratory birds.
The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center has developed the only 100% organic and shade-grown coffee certification: Bird-Friendly. This means you are getting organically produced coffee and ensuring tropical "agroforests" are preserved, and migratory birds can have a haven when migrating to those faraway farms.
Enter Birds & Beans Coffee. Every bean sold by Birds & Beans is certified by independent inspectors to meet the rigorous Smithsonian standards. This is a certification based on decades of objective scientific research. Bird-Friendly coffee means that migratory songbirds have a better chance of survival while on their wintering grounds in the tropics. And trust me, your vegan friend will love that.

Joco Reusable Glass Coffee Cup
The Joco Reusable Glass Coffee Cup makes my vegan gift guides every year for a couple of reasons. First, I own one and love it. Secondly, over 500 billion disposable paper, Styrofoam and single-use plastic cups are used worldwide and this figure is rapidly rising each year.
That's a lot of cups.
Disposable cups deplete natural resources, increase C02 emissions and most are sent straight to landfill where they add to the global waste crises. Use a reusable cup for your morning brew and help cut waste.

Ekobrew Universal Single Cup Brewer
Can we all agree that single-serve coffee pods are bad for the environment?

This Ekobrew Classic Reusable Filter solves the carbon footprint problem, plus it lowers your cost for single serving pods.
Features:
- 100% BPA free
- One-piece construction with reinforced hinges
- Micro-screen and perforated laser base for clean extractions
(Amazon, $6.96)
Coffee Gator Stainless Steel French Press
For years I've recommended coffee lovers purchase their own french press. I use one myself, and truly believe they make a better cup of coffee. In the past, I have always used a glass french press, but all of that changed the last time I dropped it on my kitchen floor and broke it. That was it for me. I have broken three glass french presses over the years and I was looking for a replacement that would; make great-tasting coffee, keep it hot, and not break. I found all of that in the Coffee Gator Stainless Steel French Press.

Review: What I Thought
The Petit Vour Beauty Box is one of my favorite subscription boxes. My box had a good selection of high-quality, full-size vegan beauty products. My most-loved product in the box was the plum beauty oil from Le Prunier; it's luxury in a bottle. I tried and used everything included in the package, and all of the products either met or exceeded my expectations.
What stands out with the Petit Vour box, for me though, is the curating of products based on the beauty profile you build. I love the ability to customize it in this way. A+

Vegan treats for everybody.
Cococlectic Chocolate Subscription
Get ready to indulge.
The Cococletis Chocolate Subscription is a chocolate-of-the-month club that features only craft bean-to-bar chocolate makers specializing in bean-to-bar chocolate-making.
What does bean-to-bar mean? It refers to a type of hands-on approach to making chocolate. The chocolatier will import the cacao beans and roast them in small batches before moving to conch and grinding them in-house. They'll temper, mold, and package it themselves. Often, they'll have relationships with growers.
Cococletic features craft small-batch chocolate makers from around the United States who use only three main ingredients to craft their chocolate: cacao beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. Each month you'll receive four full-size chocolate bars.
None of the bars contain GMOs and use only all-natural, vegan, and fair-trade ingredients. They're also:
- Soy-free
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Tree nut-free
Included with each box are tasting and pairing notes, as well as sourcing information.
Subscription Options
The pricing is as follows:
- One Month (Sweet Devotee): $45.99
- 3 Months (Bon Bon Vivant): $137.97
- 6 Months (Coco'nnoisseur): $262.00
Endorfin Craft Chocolate Bar Subscription
Four words: Freshly. Made. Chocolate. Bars.
This subscription from Endorfin Foods helps you skip the middle man to get an assortment of chocolate bars delivered to your door every single month. The monthly chocolate subscriptions feature a selection of limited edition flavors made exclusively for subscribers and select bars from their classics and favorites' lineup.
The bars are dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, agave-gree, GMO-free, and do not contain any refined sugars.
Review: What I Thought
I ordered the Euphoria Subscription for my chocolate-obsessed wife as a gift. The subscription included four limited-edition chocolate bars and three chocolate bars from their regular lineup of award-winners and best-sellers. One of the features my wife enjoyed was the pairing, and sourcing notes that came with the box talking about the rare or uncommon ingredients featured that month.
Then there was the chocolate itself. When I asked what my wife thought, she used words like "incredible, unusual, luxurious, and luscious." It's high praise, too; she eats a lot of vegan chocolate. Even me, who could take or leave chocolate on most days, thought the bars were good.
Our favorites by a long shot were the Turmeric, Cardamom, Black Pepper with Carmalized Coconut Milk (Golden Mylk) bar and the Ginger & Rose Dark Chocolate Bar with Coconut Milk, so delicious!
Subscription Options
- Euphoria Subscription: 7 bars per month - $45.00
- Transcendence Subscription: 15 bars per month - $90.00
Raaka Chocolate Subscription
Welcome to unroasted dark chocolate. Raaka is devoted to making uncommonly delicious chocolate that captures the brighter, bolder, and fruitier side of cacao.
Bars are made from scratch using unroasted cacao beans, transparently sourced from single estate farms, farmer-owned cooperatives, and grower-centered organizations. Raaka bars are bean-to-bar, small-batch, and single origin. See the entire chocolate-making process, it's very cool.
Each month, you'll receive two exclusive micro-batch bars as well as a third bar from the current collection that pairs with the theme of the month. Included in the box are tasting notes from the head chocolate maker.
Subscription Options
First Nibs Two-Bar Options
- One Month: $22.95
