#13 Essential Oils & Diffuser by Everylasting
Essential oils are becoming more popular every day. Because of this, the quality of some brands is severely lacking. You can buy essential oils pretty much anywhere now but beware of the really cheap oils. Young Living oils are always 100% pure oils.

This is a great gift for anyone, and if they don’t have a diffuser yet, they will need one! You can’t go wrong with a diffuser, but if you want one that will last it is better to spend a little more money on it, to begin with. I have found a decently priced diffuser and linked it above.

Any will work, but the one I have linked above is a great size and will sit nicely on any table.

Inexpensive Gifts for Vegans
Some of the items on the above list are more expensive than you may be willing or able to spend on a gift for someone. While they are some of the most sought-after gifts on a vegan’s wish list, some of them aren’t necessarily budget-friendly.
Below is a small list of gifts considered to be stocking stuffers. They are only ideas for smaller-priced gifts for vegans. They’re by no means the only five cheap gift ideas in the world, but a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
Organic acai powder is full of antioxidants and essential nutrients to a vegan diet. This is a gift that will most certainly get used in the vegan kitchen. It is a rather high-priced item on every vegan’s grocery list, so receiving it as a gift will be a pleasant surprise.
Organic cacao powder is another staple in the vegan kitchen. This natural powder is great in smoothies, breakfast bowls, and desserts. You can feel assured in this purchase as a gift because it is certain to get used.
As the weather gets colder and drier, lips become victims of being chapped. As a vegan, it can sometimes be difficult to find a good vegan chapstick, so when we come across one we tend to stock up. This is a small gift that will last months.
Cotton socks are thick and cozy! Perfect for cold weather and a great gift. Most vegans are environmentally conscious, as well as health-conscious. These socks will be a nice reminder that they are helping the planet one recycled fabric at a time.
When in doubt, buy a gift card! What is the perfect gift card for a vegan? Well, their favorite local vegan grocery store of course. If you don’t have a grocery store completely dedicated to the vegan lifestyle, Whole Foods is a good alternative. They have an incredible amount of options for vegans and any vegan is sure to love free groceries!
