Sweet Stocking Fillers

Treat Suggestions

If you’re anything like me when you’re doing your Christmas presents it’s never just one gift per person. I usually do a main gift, then throw in what I call sweet stocking fillers; little extras, usually sweets (candy) and chocolate. If you’re not a vegan and you’re buying for a friend who is vegan, it it can be a little overwhelming. You find yourself searching specifically for items marketed as vegan. This is a wonderful, and your friend will appreciate it but if you’re on a budget it can get a bit expensive. In this post I am going to share some of the main stream items you can find at supermarkets, and discount (pound) shops that I enjoy. There are items you can get but this gives you a good range for cheap, vegan stocking fillers.

**Disclaimer – These sweets are only Vegan in the UK. Many of them are not suitable for vegans if you are buying them in the US.

Vegan Police

Vegan Life

We’ve all met them, those self-confessed vegan police types who are constantly berating other vegans for not being as good a vegan as they are. They seem to think they are advancing the cause but in reality they are the ones who end up putting people off who want to try veganism. Their all or nothing attitude is not only unrealistic, it’s confrontational.

Mince Pies

Christmas Food

You might be thinking it’s a bit early for a post about Mince Pies, after all Christmas is still a few months away (seven weeks and 3 days). Now usually I would agree with you, for me Christmas doesn’t start until the 1st December. However, I wanted to get this post out before then because I know lots of people who like to get an early start on these things.

Greetings

Welcome

Greetings and salutations. It is World Vegan Day, the first day of World Vegan Month and I would like to welcome you to VeganNomadGeek’s first published post. I want to use this post to introduce myself, and let you know who I and where I am in my journey.

About Me

Greetings

I first went vegan when I was 25. I had been vegetarian for about six years, and the more research I did the more it felt like the right thing to do. I was very much into the environment, and was studying a degree in environmental sciences, it was clear that if I really cared about the environment the best thing I could do was go vegan. The reduction in the amount of acreage it takes to feed a vegan compared to what it takes to feed an omnivore is crazy but when you think about it, it’s also pretty obvious. I mean I can eat a lot but I can’t eat as much as a being four times my size (cows are big).
