My mum does voluntary work three days a week in the cafe of the local dogs home.
In the volunteers secret Santa my mum has drawn a middle aged vegan woman and has no idea on what to buy her.
The limit is £7, all ideas welcome.

Half a leg of lamb.

Shame the limit is £7 otherwise Eat like …

Would have been amusing if nothing else!

Bottle of wine without animal finings?

Bacon.

I am not sure if dietary requirements would be my main guide for buying a Christmas present?

Something she would like ?

PS I have to buy presents for meat eaters ….any suggestions?

a £7 donation to PETA

in to it

Some L’Oreal conditioner and a turnip

PS I have to buy presents for meat eaters ….any suggestions?

Bacon.

My mum does not know the lady as she volunteers elsewhere in the home.
But was told when she drew the lady in question that she was a vegan so if her present was food to make sure it was acceptable and also no make up in case it had been tested on animals (that’s what they told her).

But wine could be a good call.

A book then.

About bacon.

Check here if the wine is ok

Maybe some Veet…speaking from experience…!

Booja Booja truffles are very nice. Or Faith in Nature do nice mini gift sets (shower gel etc) for around £7.
And this is the best vegan chocolate bar ever http://www.vego-chocolate.com/indexeng.html

Veganism is probably more of a “lifestyle” than a set of “dietary requirement” as the implications go much further than what you eat and drink. E.g. a pair of woollen gloves, nope. A silk tie, no. It really does require a fair bit of thought if you’re not used to it.

Can we turn this into a veggie/vegan bashing thread?

Can I mention how many furry animals are killed by combine harvesters? 🙂

I’d up it a little and get a vegan sidekick book – they’re **** brilliant and available in non-sweary.

VS is a dood!

Well personally I’d rather not and it certainly wasn’t my intention to do so. It was more to highlight the fact that the implications of someone identifying as Vegan probably goes a bit further than food and drink and does require a bit of thought.

I genuinely laughed at that

Cycling is probably more of a “lifestyle” than a set of “dietary requirement bikes” as the implications go much further than what you eat and drinkride. E.g. a pair of woollen gloves, nope. A silk tie, nowhat size wheels, what tyres for this trail, etc. It really does require a fair bit of thought if you’re not used to it.

I can do that with anything

I think it would be hard to stop it but i so enjoy it because eating meat clearly makes folk theink they are **** hilarious

Oh well that’ll teach me to try and be helpful.

Booja-booja chocolate truffles (the coffee, raspberry or champagne ones) I’m not vegan and they are delicious

You could show her this thread and then get her a sewing kit for when her sides have split.

Given where she volunteers, what about a doggie-themed calendar perhaps?

Blimey I’m glad I’m not a vegan as it makes you grumpy.

😀

Viz do a few books, try “Modern Parents”

A megaphone

eating meat clearly makes folk think they are **** hilarious

No. It’s just taking the piss out of vegans is like shooting fish in a barrel.

(Did you see what I did there?)

Blimey I’m glad I’m not a vegan as it makes you grumpy.

No bacon 😀

No bacon

Of course.

The jokes are still as funny as they were last time and the time before that and the time before that

OH a bacon joke My sides oh my sides…Lord help from this wit.

…what about a doggie-themed calendar perhaps?

Umm wouldn’t that come under the exploiting animals for profit category?

It’s worse than I thought.

I’m going to grab some Frazzles just in case.

I am sorry I did not know this would happen. My mum genuinely did not know what to buy. But amongst the bacon related posts there have been some helpful posts,
Thanks.

Forget Booja-booja, this is the stuff you want:

Vego

IME this is the best vegan chocolate alternative out there by a long way.

I have ordered two bars of the above chocolate, thanks all.

If not just to avoid the wrath of the grumpy vegans, a few minutes googling and years of experience with women no idea about women, I’ve come up with:

this

or

this.

Neither of which I’m sure are of any good, because I’m a non-grumpy chicken choker.

All good quality dark chocolate is vegan* friendly

*some “cheap shit” dark chocolate may have additional milk added

(chocolatier btw)

Blimey I’m glad I’m not a vegan carnivore as it makes you grumpy predictable and tedious.
