There’s no better way to dive headfirst into Veganuary than with a plant-based hamper.
Whether gifting one to friends and family or treating yourself to a colourful feast, a vegan hamper is perfect for testing the waters of veganism with others or solo.
Hampers offer traditional, lavish gifts which can be personalised to suit the recipient. Filled to the brim with goodies and surprises, they are the perfect, playful remedy for combatting the January blues.
According to Veganuary, more than 700,000 people from 228 countries signed up to take part in Veganuary 2023, breaking all previous records. Ongoing concern for the welfare of both animals and the environment prompts consumers to ditch meat en masse each year in favour of plant-based products. This extends to meat substitutes, dairy alternatives and even luxury hampers.
After endless sit-down Christmas dinners and outrageously filling festive meals, a selection of picky bits couldn’t be more inviting.
Hampers sourced from Cutter & Squidge, Not On The High Street and John Lewis boast the familiar favourites which we tend not to treat ourselves to during the weekly food shops. Fruity chutneys, artisan jams, sugar-coated almonds and seeded flatbreads are just a handful of vegan treats to be uncovered in hampers currently on the market.
It goes without saying that vegan hampers are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the tastebuds. Typically encased by a beautifully woven wicker basket and embellished with glass jars, biscuit tins and a bottle of fizz, hampers are a marvellous centrepiece.
