Holiday Gift Guide for the Vegetable Lover

Last Updated on 12/12/2018

Please the vegetable lovers in your life with a veggie-centric gift! From kitchen gadgets to non-kitchen essentials, this Holiday Gift Guide for the Vegetable Lover has something for every budget and style. 

Happy December, veggie enthusiasts!

This is an exciting holiday season for the Veg World! For one, I’ll be running my first ever “12 Days of Vegmas” starting on Monday 12/11 through Friday 12/21. Yes, that’s right, I’m giving you 12 of my BEST veggie recipes during this Vegmas celebration. I can hardly wait to get started.

Plus, this is the first year that I’m posting a holiday gift guide! So many of you have asked me for recommendations on my favorite kitchen gadgets and products over the past few months. I figured it was time to compile some of my absolute favs. Whether you use this guide to purchase a gift for yourself or to get gift ideas for fellow vegetable lovers, I hope that you find it helpful!

My Holiday Gift Guide for the Vegetable Lover is broken down into two categories: Kitchen Necessities and Non-Kitchen Essentials. Under each of these categories, I identify which gifts cost less than $20, less than $50, or more than $100 (there are only a few of those!).

All of these gifts have one thing in common: they help people cook, eat, celebrate, or learn more about veggies. I have personally used all of these products, and the Veg World wouldn’t exist without most of them! Enjoy!
