Have a friend planning on going veg for the New Year? Maybe your friend is already vegetarian, but you’re still looking for the perfect holiday gift. You could always sign him or her up for the free PETA vegetarian starter kit—or, you could arrange something much more personal, meaningful, and fun. Here are a few ideas.

Assemble a recipe basket. Include all of your favorite veggie meals on index cards—or include your favorite vegetarian cookbook—and finish it off with some ingredients for one of the meals. Tie a ribbon around it and voila—a perfectly personal gift.

Spice up his or her life. What’s a diet full of tofu and veggies without some awesome spices? Give him or her a unique spice kit, flavored vinegar and oil, or a variety of sauces to try. For a personal touch, add a couple of jars of your favorite herbs and a printout of how to use them.

Provide the perfect pairing. Give your friend a bottle of your favorite wine or other beverage; if you want to splurge, provide a year-long membership to a wine club.

Knowledge is power, so why not empower your friend with the best way to go vegetarian—by attending a veggie cooking class? Offer to attend with your friend for what are sure to be some fun times.

Make a veg or vegan snack kit with plenty of fruit snacks, vegan chocolate treats and your favorites to help cut cravings and satisfy appetites. Add some of your favorite tea or other beverages if you like as well.

Book ‘em. That is, give a copy of a favorite vegetarian book or two.

Plant seeds for the future—by giving your friend plenty of seeds to start his or her own veggie garden! Include planters if he or she lives in an apartment, and don’t forget a few gardening tools and a watering can. Does he or she like mushrooms? Maybe a mushroom cultivation kit would be a good choice—or an indoor herb garden.

Take him or her out to your favorite vegetarian restaurant.

How about some pleather shoes to replace your friend’s leather ones? Maybe you could even find the perfect pleather jacket, purse, or wallet.

Donate to his or her favorite animal charity.

Make him or her a five-course vegetarian meal and serve it up with style. If romance is your goal, do it by candlelight and the perfect music.
