He is 20, lovely lad, vegan, spiritual, kind caring and lovely to her.
We have only met him twice, he goes to visit her weekly at university.
I have no idea where to even start, she is no help whatsoever.
So far I have got him a bamboo toothbrush and a mug printed with their photograph.
He has his own very individual style and appears to like granny jumpers!

This sounds exactly like my DS2!
What about some vegan toiletries, beard oils (if he has one), body washes - Etsy have some lovely packages.

Vegan chocs always go down well here - Aldi do some nice vegan truffles or if money no expense https://www.chococo.co.uk/christmas-shop/vegan-christmas?productlistt_limit=all

Oxfam do various gifts to buy work equipment or a chicken or goat for villages to enable them to start their own businesses.

Mine always wears Grandad jumpers and brown cords Grin

Great ideas, thank you.
I actually spoke to my DD about an hour ago, she suggested nice smelly things too, the other thing she suggested was some sort of app that enables mindfulness. She’s going to send me the details

Please don't buy a vegan a chicken or goat.
How about sponsoring an animal? Tower Hill, The Retreat, Hillside all have animals for adoption.

Great idea with a donation to a sanctuary. (And obviously no goat!)

For vegan chocolate etc, if you can, I always recommend using a vegan 'supermarket' (there are several) so that you can get something a little more special than what you can find in 'any shop'. For example:
thevegankind.com/
www.ethicalwares.com/accessories/chocolate-snack-bars-fudge/
www.moofreechocolates.com/

Definitely more ethically produced than the standard chocolate in shops too.
Good luck!

I was in John Lewis over the weekend and saw this gift bag of vegan sweets which I thought was lush. Got one for a friend (male)

Similar situation here!
I’ve bought 2 tickets for my daughter and boyfriend for an online cookery class with
www.migrateful.org/classes/online/
Lots to choose from but chose a 2 hour Turkish food vegan class. They send you a list of ingredients required and the class is live with a cook from the same country.

@123fushia
Great idea but he’s an accomplished cook.
In the end I chickened out and got a salt lamp and some socks, an avocado saver thing and some lush - which is stinking my living room out despite being wrapped up
