Case in point: Vivera, a German brand who make all manner of vegetarian and vegan meat replacement products. They have fake steaks, escalopes and our favourite – vegan shawarma, absolutely delicious and indetectable from the real thing. This isn’t for everyone – some people don’t care about faithfully recreating meat products. But if you or a loved one wants something authentic and tasty, you really can’t go wrong with a bunch of these.Do check which products are vegan before you buy for yourself or anyone else, though – some are suitable for vegetarians, while others are fully vegan.

No surprises here, really – it’s a box full of vegan, dark chocolate goods. There’s dark chocolate and ginger puddles, fruit and nut slabs, cocoa nibs and a buche log, which sounds sophisticated but is pretty much just a delicious log of chocolate.
The company does note that though its dark chocolate is suitable for vegans, it is made in the same environment as milk chocolate – so they can’t 100% guarantee its completely free from milk traces.

As for what’s in there, there’s a real mix. Alongside chocolates and snack bars, you’ll also get sour cream and onion cashews, peanuts, biscuits, pomegranate sweets and more. If it is for a gift, you can also include a personalised gift message, and the distributor promises a beautifully hand packaged hamper, too.
