Looking for vegan and cruelty-free gifts this Christmas? Superdrug has it sorted
Mooch for vegan gifts with peace of mind.
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. The gift contains three fragrances: Blossom, Exotic and Enchant, which all work well on their own or layered together for unique, long-lasting scents.
2. Vitamin E Facial Set
Best for: the skincare aficionado
Name a skincare set that is better value than this one… we’ll wait. This collection contains eight (yes eight!) of Superdrug’s Vitamin E range for the complete routine. Inside, you’ll find the: Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser, Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream, Vitamin E Hydrating Mist, Vitamin E Moisture Boost Facial Serum, Vitamin E Gentle Oatmeal Exfoliator, Vitamin E Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover, Vitamin E Nourishing Eye Cream, and finally the Vitamin E Gentle Micellar Solution.

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.
