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.
