A Guide to a Vegan Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is about spreading love — and what better way to do so than by celebrating with kindness for all beings and our planet?
❤️
Here are some tips to make your Valentine’s Day kind, meaningful, memorable and cruelty-free.

1. Romantic Vegan Dinner

  • Candlelit Dinner at Home: Impress your partner with a homemade vegan feast. Try heart-shaped ravioli, a vibrant vegetable stir-fry, lasagne or a rich mushroom risotto.

  • Vegan Wine: Look for certified vegan brands.

  • Enjoy Dessert: End with a decadent vegan chocolate fondue, cheesecake, tiramisu, heart-shaped biscuits, red velvet cupcakes or chocolate-dipped strawberries.

  • Dine Out: Go to your favourite vegan or vegan-friendly restaurant.

2. Cruelty-Free Presents

  • Chocolates and Treats: Choose vegan chocolates, truffles or sweets.

  • Eco-Friendly Flowers: Go for organic or sustainably sourced flowers or give a potted plant as a lasting alternative.

  • Jewellery or DYI Presents: Gift handmade or eco-friendly items for a personal touch. Create a scrapbook of memories, bake their favourite vegan cookies or craft something meaningful.

  • Thoughtful Cards: Use eco-friendly Valentine’s cards made from recycled materials.

  • Cruelty-Free Beauty: Pamper your partner with vegan skincare or bath products.

  • Experience Gifts: Instead of items, give a voucher for a personalised experience, such as an online cooking class, a yoga session or a romantic get-away.

3. Ethical Fashion for the Night

  • Vegan Fashion: If you’re dressing up, choose outfits made from animal-free materials, like plant-based leather, organic cotton or plant-based silk alternatives. Many brands now offer stylish, cruelty-free options perfect for a special evening.

  • Sustainable Accessories: Wear accessories from ethical and vegan-friendly brands to complement your look.

4. Plan a Special Vegan Date

  • Enjoy the Outdoors: Go for a walk or hike, or head to a park or scenic spot.

  • Movie Night: Cosy up with vegan snacks and watch a movie or documentary together.

  • Attend an Event: Check for vegan cooking classes, workshops or events in your area.

  • Volunteer: Spread love by volunteering at an animal sanctuary or participating in a vegan outreach event.
