Looking for vegan and cruelty-free gifts this Christmas? Superdrug has it sorted

Once upon a time, it was an absolute mission to get your vegan friend the perfect beauty gift for the festive season. You’d anxiously spend time making a list of possible vegan-friendly brands — and checking it twice (sorry, not sorry) — rather than browsing in confidence. 

Nowadays, however, there are far more vegan and cruelty-free gifts on offer, and you’re in for a treat when shopping at Superdrug this year. In fact, Supedrug’s own-brand ranges are never tested on animals so you can rest assured that your choices are completely cruelty-free. 

Expect to find scent layering sets for fragrance-loving friends to experiment with, grooming kits to take a shaving routine up a notch, and complete skincare routines that won’t break the bank but will give an enviable glow. Plus, you’ll find a variety of wax melts that any fragrance-loving fan will adore. 

Shop for your make-up, fragrance, and skincare-loving friend (or yourself, of course) at Superdrug this year with peace of mind that all your gifts will be vegan and cruelty-free. Not sure where to start? Here’s our selection of the seven best on offer.

1. Layering Lab EDT Set

Best for: the perfume lover

For friends who are forever sampling new perfumes and mix-and-matching to create their own, this set allows any wannabe perfumer to expertly layer until their heart's content.

3. Superdrug Layering Lab Wax Melts

Best for: those who love a cosy home

With days being colder and nights getting darker, consider now time to indulge in some cosy comforts—think longer-than-usual baths and hot chocolates with the full works, alongside candles and wax melts galore. We’re not talking about any old wax melts though. In fact, just like the aforementioned fragrance mix-and-match set, this is a layering set. Choose from four scents: Paradise, Exotic, Blossom and Sorbet to use alone or melted together to create your perfectly blended fragrance.
