Press Release Body: Christmas shoppers may spend hours examining the ingredients and
labels on products to ensure they are friendly for their vegan or veggie friend.
Us lot at Bourgeois Boheme have put together a list of "insider" tips and ideas that
may guide you though a labyrinth of veggie Christmas shopping.

1. Christmas Shoe instead of Christmas Stocking!
According to the Vegan Panel, the most desirable Christmas gift for a vegan is
cruelty-free footwear! Let the veggie feet do the talking with a pair of
animal-friendly shoes from Bourgeois Boheme

2. "Winter Wonderland" trip
With global warming on its way we may all soon be left with "dreaming of a White
Christmas". Why not enjoy the snow while we can? Go to Vegi Ventures for weekend
getaway ideas and take your veggie friend on a trip! Relaxing in a veggie friendly
hotel after a hard day's skiing in the Alps or walking in Cumbria will earn you
bonus points.

3. Naturally Bubbly bottle
Oh yes before you purchase that bottle of Christmas Champagne take note that not all
champers are vegan! Champagne (as other alcohol drinks) is often clarified with
animal ingredients that are derived from bone, fish, eggs and milk proteins.
Festival Wines sell a good range of veggie friendly bubbly.

4. Happy Hamper
Foie gras faux pas!
A hamper full of yummy veggie goodies will bring a smile to any veggie. Fill the
hamper with skincare from No Cows, choccies from Happy Hippo or savory goodies from
Clearspring

5. Surprise Christmas dinner from a first-time veggie Chef
You don't need to be vegetarian to prepare a veggie dinner for your friend. It's not
all carrot sticks and lentils, your courage to step into unknown territory will be
admired!
If you want to look like a pro, The Vegetarian Society runs fabulous veggie cooking
courses. You may also borrow some vegan recipes at Vegan Village.

6. Vegetarian Library Finds
If your friend is a vegan couch potato, for those lazy days over the winter holidays
cozying up with a good book from Animal Aid/\\\'s Shop could be just the trick. Wild
London, Tiger Jungle, Elf Bedtime Stories and Vegan Stories are just few items to
choose from.

7. Pet Adoption certificate
Give your friend the joy of instant parenthood! Even if he/she lives in a tiny
studio there is always a room for an adoption certificate on the wall. Adopt from an
animal sanctuary such as Hillside that works tirelessly for its 900 or so residents.
Choose from La Vizelle an Ex-Race Horse to Felicity the Pot-Bellied Pig. To find a
sanctuary locally, visit Animal Rescuers UK.

8. Veggie Pride Hoodies
"If it's got a face I don't eat it" - states a hoodie that can be purchased from
Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (VIVA). More hoodies with statements are
available from PETA.
Not only they will help your veggie/vegan friends to express themselves but also
will keep them toasty warm during winter.

9. Cuddly and Cruelty-free winter accessories for Ipods and their owners
Silver Velvet Muff for their Mobile or Mini Ipod, Cashmere Feel Cable Scarves,
Velvet Gloves with Faux Fur Trim for women and patterned scarves for men are
available at Bourgeois Boheme. All the products look like their real prototypes but
are "faux", so don't forget to mention that when giving our accessories to your
veggie friends.

10. Leaving the dark side
Becoming a veggie or vegan even if it is for just a few days would be the best gift
for your veggie friend or family member! For those brave enough to take the
challenge Bourgeois Boheme will offer a 10% discount of their first order. Go to The
Vegan Society for helpful tips to "use the force"!

Additional tips: Please look out for the variations of the letter "V" on the
products suitable for vegetarians and vegans and for a happily jumping rabbit
stating that the product wasn't tested on animals. Please remember that "suitable
for vegetarians" items may not be suitable for your vegan friends. For various
certifications logos go to http://rawdc.org/food/veglogo.html
