After receiving a face roller as a gift in Australia a few years ago, it became a permanent fixture of my self care routine, and for that I am eternally grateful. For that reason I recommend the SALT BY HENDRIX Jade Face Roller as a vegan gift to anyone who will listen (really, you can even gift it to yourself). Pop it in your fridge and then roll it on your face after applying a serum - it’s absolutely divine, especially over the holiday period when we experience the sweltering Australian summer heat. It’s a unique vegan gift from an all-vegan beauty range, we’re sure they’ll appreciate. Plus, it makes for an awesome vegan secret santa gift!

On top of that there are a million other reasons we love the Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash. In fact, I have it in my bathroom right now. We love this glorious vegan gift because of its spa-like scent and ability to thoroughly cleanse without dehydrating the skin. Not only is it the perfect vegan gift for couples, it also looks fabulous on the bathroom sink, and elevates any environment. I could go on. The point is, if you're looking for a vegan gift for a couple in Australia celebrating the holidays, or a pair that has recently moved in together - this is an obvious choice when it comes to luxury vegan gifts in Australia.
