Holiday Gifts for Her: Compassionate, Personal, and Meaningful

The holidays are approaching fast, and it’s time to get started on gift shopping! If you’re stressed about finding the perfect present for your significant other, sister, daughter, or mom, this guide is full of thoughtful, compassionate gifts that feel personal—plus, they’re PETA-approved! From luxurious splurges to small, meaningful surprises, you can make every special lady on your list feel truly celebrated.

Luxury Gifts She’ll Love

Miomojo Handbag

Give her something chic, eco-conscious, and compassionate. Miomojo’s vegan leather handbags—recently featured with PETA at the Emmys ^® Giving Suite – are crafted from innovative materials like apples, corn, or even olives and deliver the luxury she can feel great about carrying. It’s the perfect “from all of us” present that the whole family can chip in on to make her season extra special.

Noize Vegan Wool Coat

Looking for a gift that’s as kind as it is cozy? Noize’s plush vegan wool delivers serious warmth and style—without wool stolen from exploited sheep. It’s a great investment piece to keep her bundled up from first frost to spring thaw.

Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar

Give her the A-list glow. This 24K gold-plated, made-in-Japan vibrating bar delivers 6,000 rotations per minute to boost circulation, support lymphatic drainage, and sculpt, smooth, and de-puff the face. It’s no wonder it snagged ELLE’s 2024 “Best in Skincare” award—this is the ultimate at-home luxury tool she’ll use every day.

Small Gifts and Stocking Additions

Companion Candles

A candle is a classic gift, but one from Companion Candles makes it extra thoughtful. Made with vegan wax and cruelty-free ingredients, these beautifully crafted candles are designed with animal companions in mind, using fragrance oils that are safe for cats and dogs. That means you can give a cozy, great-smelling gift without worrying about irritating sensitive noses or paws. With so many inviting scents to choose from, it’s an easy way to add warmth to her space while showing love to every member of the household.

Alchimie Forever Peptide Lip Booster

This lip conditioner is the secret to soft, pillowy lips all winter long. This hydrating, peptide-powered formula plumps, smooths, and keeps chapping far, far away. It’s the cold-weather lip essential she’ll want in every bag. (And, unlike some lip products, it’s completely bee-friendly, with zero stolen beeswax involved.)  

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

Selena Gomez’s vegan brand delivers the perfect pop of color with this silky, long-lasting liquid blush that’s a viral favorite. It’s the universally loved gift—great for a sibling, your partner, or as a crowd-pleasing stocking stuffer.

Dr Botanicals Hyaluronic Acid & Gluconolactone Hydrating Anti-Aging Facial Mask

Who doesn’t love great skincare? This clean-ingredient mask hydrates with hyaluronic acid, exfoliates with gluconolactone, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, glowier complexion. It’s a self-care win for anyone on your list, and because it’s vegan and cruelty-free, it’s not just gentle on skin—it spares gentle mice from cruel tests.

Doshi Vegan Accordion Wallet

Support a small business and give her something she’ll use daily. Crafted from high-quality vegan leather, this accordion wallet is elegant, simple, and offers a high-end look and feel with a budget-friendly price tag.

MuellerLiving Immersion Handheld Stick Blender

For the home chef who loves to whip up soups, smoothies, and purees, this 8-speed stainless steel stick blender is a game-changer. With 3-in-1 turbo mode, it’s versatile, powerful, and totally gift-worthy.

peta2 Cruelty-Free Makeup Bag

Every makeup lover can use a new bag—and this one does more than just hold your essentials. The peta2 Cruelty-Free Makeup Bag keeps your cosmetics organized and spreads the message that cruelty-free is the way to go. Made with durable polyester foam, it’s easy to toss in the wash when it gets messy—because let’s face it, makeup bags never stay clean for long!

Special Gifts for the Tough-to-Shop-For

Gift Card to LBLC The Label

Let her pick her perfect piece. LBLC the Label offers sophisticated dresses, outerwear, sweaters, and timeless closet staples—and with gift cards ranging from $50 to $500, she can choose exactly what she wants.

Maya’s Cookies Candy Cane Land Bundle

If she’s got a sweet tooth and is a festive flavor fanatic, she’ll devour Maya’s Candy Cane Land cookie collection. This bundle comes with the vegan dessert brand’s best-selling holiday flavors—Chocolate Peppermint S’mores, Gingerbread, Sparkle Sugar, and Peppermint Bark Bliss—all beautifully packaged in a seasonal gift box. It’s the ultimate cozy-season treat.

Chella Beauty Gift Card

She loves makeup—but she’s picky. Give her the freedom to choose with a Chella Beauty gift card, full of vegan and cruelty-free beauty products she’ll actually want. Pair it with a thoughtful card for a simple, stress-free holiday win.

Make This Holiday Season Truly Special

This holiday season, celebrate your loved ones while showing compassion for our fellow animals. Like all mothers, cows protect their precious babies. Sheep are devoted to their friends and families. Mice love to cuddle and play. Choose beauty that’s never tested on animals, clothing that’s free of animal skins, and gifts that are kind all around. No matter what you give, make it thoughtful—for everyone. Check out PETA’s vegan shopping guide for more ideas!
