Gift This: Cruelty-free brands that support vegan businesses

In today’s installment of #GiftThis, I introduce you to brands, books and services in which I am an affiliate partner. That means when you click the link and purchase, I earn a little spending money to help pay costs associated with the maintenance of this website.

Speaking of that, I hope you noticed that my blog got a serious makeover this month. I removed BlogHer publishing network ads because a) there were too many ads running with cheese and meat in them and b) it cluttered up my site. I’ve decided to take advertising into my own hands and will only place static ads from brands, companies, or services that are inline with my personal and professional mission to share the vegan love, to better the lives of animals, and, in the process, improve human’s lives and the environment around us.

So here are the brands I support (and who support me).

Is there someone in your life who is ready to start blogging or develop an online presence and needs web-hosting? I have been with Bluehost for several years now and I’m thrilled with the service. I turned to Bluehost after I learned that Go Daddy’s CEO was into killing sprees in Africa (more about it here).

I’ve been one of Jill Nussinow’s affiliates for years. Once I went cuckoo over pressure cooking she invited me to help sell her awesome book The New Fast Food. If you have a loved one who is new to pressure cooking or needs another awesome cookbook in their digital library, this is one to get (of course, I’m sure you’ve downloaded Vegan Pressure Cooking, too, right?)

Looking for the gift that keeps on giving? Vegan Cuts offers a monthly snack box and beauty box for the vegan in your life!

Love vegan wine? Me, too. Order from Vintners’ Alliance and, for just one penny in shipping, your compassionate adult grape juice will arrive at your door.
