JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Veggie gift ideas

Looking for some holiday gift ideas for the vegan, vegetarian or environmentalist in your life? Here are a few:

*A kit to grow their own shiitake mushrooms.

*A T-shirt proclaiming their vegetarian lifestyle. You can find a wide variety here.

*Make a vegetarian or vegan gift basket with a selection of animal-friendly goodies, such as vegan cookies, protein bars, dairy-free cheeses, crackers, and fair-trade coffee or chocolate.

*A leather-free, animal-product-free purse, such as one by Matt & Nat.

*A sustainable bamboo cutting board, bowl, plate or utensils. Find a bunch of possibilities at Core Bamboo.

*A stainless steel water bottle. They’re great to take to the gym or in the car on trips, and they help cut down on all those plastic bottles that pile up in the trash or recycling bin. You can find them all over the place these days.

*An organic cotton scarf to keep your friend/sweetie warm for the winter ahead.

*A vegetarian safari hunter mug.

*A windowsill-garden kit so they can grow their own herbs.

*Make a donation in their name to their favorite animal-friendly charity.

*Are you a carnivore without a lot of money to spend? Make your veggie friend happy by agreeing to go vegetarian for a day or a week ... or more!

Any of you have a nifty gift idea or two?
