Vegan and vegetarian ... what is the difference? There are more similarities than differences, really. Both eschew meat in their diets, but vegans take it a step further. Vegans aim to avoid using any foods and products made from animals or animal by-products. And while every vegan has different ethical guidelines they follow, many vegans opt for 100% cruelty-free products.

If you have a loved one who is a vegan, you may be stumped about what you can buy for them. Luckily, there are plenty of health and wellness gifts that mesh with the vegan lifestyle. Check out the gallery for some ideas.
