11 Vegan Holiday Gift Ideas Men Will Love

Share

The holidays are here. It’s a joyful time of year for many, with good company, mouth-watering food, sweet drinks, and gifts you didn’t know you needed but totally do now. But some of us are kept from enjoying it all by the pressure that comes with figuring out which vegan holiday gifts you’re giving.

Let’s be real. It can be hard to choose the right gift for someone and when it comes to gift-giving, men can be the most difficult to buy for. Suddenly you can’t remember what their favorite film is, or color, or what that thing is that they said they liked all those months ago.

11 Vegan Holiday Gift Ideas Men Will Love

 We’ve taken the hard work out of it. These 11 gifts are smile-inducing, crowd-pleasing, all-vegan, and man-approved.


The Lawn Mower 2.0 takes grooming to a whole new level. | Manscaped

1. Cruelty-Free Grooming Tools By Manscaped

A 2017 survey found that around 90 percent of men keep things trimmed and tidy “downstairs.” But separate research — published in 2019 — found that half of men have injured themselves during the process.

That’s where Manscaped comes in. Manscaped is the creator of The Lawn Mower 2.0, an electric trimmer that takes below-the-belt grooming to a whole new level. The waterproof trimmer uses SkinSafe technology to protect from nicks and cuts. Its specially engineered blades can easily manage coarse or thick hair without pulling, and small trimming teeth make for super safe manscaping in sensitive areas. The trimmer is rechargeable, lasting 60 minutes on one charge.

Manscaped also makes Crop Cleanser, a moisturizing hair and body wash designed for pre- and post-trimming as well as showering. The cleanser is made with soothing aloe and sea salt. Like all of Manscaped’s products, it’s made with vegan, paraben-free ingredients and it’s not tested on animals.

Manscaped also offers cologne, anti-chafing deodorant, and wipes. | Manscaped

Manscaped’s Crop Preserver is the anti-chafing downstairs deodorant he’s been waiting for. The oil-free moisturizing deodorant reduces bacterial growth and keeps things dry and comfortable. It features Active pH Control and helps to protect the skin’s moisture barrier.

The hygiene brand also offers cologne, boxers, below-the-waist wipes, mints, and foot deodorant.

Manscaped is on a mission to motivate men to be more proactive with their health and self-care. The company partnered with the Testicular Cancer Society. The non-profit is working to raise awareness about the most common cancer among men between 15 and 35. Together, the non-profit and Manscaped produced a video to show men how to check themselves for signs of testicular cancer. Earlier this year, Manscaped fundraised for the charity and matched all donations up to $10,000.

These vegan shoes are made with pineapple leather.| Hugo Boss

2. Vegan Leather Shoes By Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss took a step toward cruelty-free last year when it launched its first-ever line of vegan men’s shoes. The German luxury fashion house introduced BOSS, a footwear collection featuring sneakers made from Piñatex. Piñatex is a plant-based leather made from pineapple leaf fibers. The fibers are leftover from pineapple harvests; no other resources are needed to create the fabric. Companies can purchase the leaves from farmers to offer them additional income.

The Hugo Boss shoes are dyed naturally and feature lightweight recycled TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) soles, cotton-linen lining, and organic cotton laces.
