Moms work hard and deserve recognition for their selflessness, which is why you should make sure your Mother’s Day gifts are really what she wants this year. We’ve compiled a list of some of the tastiest vegan treats you can buy to show Mom just how much you love her. And she wouldn’t want anything that was made by exploiting animal mothers, so keep your gifts dairy- and egg-free.

Premium Collection From Maya’s Cookies

PETA Business Friend Maya’s Cookies is a vegan, woman-owned shop based in San Diego, but you can get these treats sent anywhere in the country, right to your mom’s doorstep. She’ll love any of the shop’s cookie collections, but our favorite is the Premium Collection, which features the Brown Sugar Butterscotch flavor.

Mega Cookie Karmabox From Karma Baker

All of Karma Baker’s goodies are vegan—and its Mother’s Day cakes, cupcake jars, and cookie boxes are sure to impress your mom.

Vegan Classic Tie-Dye Gift Box From Baked by Melissa

Baked by Melissa makes vegan mini cupcakes in rich, fun flavors—and its Vegan Classic Tie-Dye Gift Box features 25 of them in a colorful box.

Vegan Snacks Gift Set From Fake Meats

If your mom is a vegan foodie who’s always looking to try new snacks, PETA Business Friend Fake Meats has the gift set for her. It features both sweet and savory snacks, like Louisville Vegan Jerky and Go Max Go’s vegan candy bars.
