While many of us are going to be spending the holidays physically separated from loved ones, these small businesses can help us still show our care for those who also love delicious food.

And if you don’t know a vegan food lover to send one of these gifts to, why not treat yourself to vegan brie, chocolates, tamales, babka, or any of the other delicious items on this list?

1. Masa Madre

The vegan babka from this Mexican Jewish artisanal bakery comes in delicious flavors like hot chocolate, cinnamon churro, and pistachio cardamom and can be shipped nationwide for a delicious gift. For the baker in your life, you can also purchase ingredients and a virtual class from the bakery so they can learn to make their own babka!

2. Herbivorous Butcher

This definitely isn’t your traditional butcher shop, featuring vegan ribs, steaks, pastrami, brie, feta, pepperjack, and more. Herbivorous Butcher’s goods are made in Minneapolis, but can be shipped to that meat-free meat and cheese-free cheese-loving person in your life.

3. Lagusta’s Luscious
