Candles and a Cookbook

The Date: Friday, September 23
The Delivery: Bake with Dates by Susan Lowenberg and holiday-themed soy candles and non-vegan lip balm from Aroma Naturals
Staff Pick: The Holiday Wish soy candle

The DL: It's not just that this candle smells like the holidays, it also reminds us of the fact that we sent our November+December issue to press Thursday, which is just as exciting to celebrate today as it was yesterday. We really can't wait for you to see holiday-themed recipes, our must-give gifts, and The Veggie Awards! Take a holiday of your own by joining us on one of our VegNews Vacations—the Bali, Thailand, and India trips are sold out, but spots are still left for our yoga retreat in Mexico. Book today!

A Cookbook and Skincare

The Date: Monday, August 8
The Delivery: Give Them Something Better by Sarah Frain and Stephanie Howard, and skincare from Sibu Beauty
Staff Pick: The replenishing night cream

The DL: We love all-natural, cruelty- and paraben-free skincare. We like it even more when it's the kind that we only have to wear while we're dreaming. Things don't get much easier than that! Want to take the vegan trip of your dreams? Sign up for one of our VegVacations and make it a reality! Our trips to India are already sold out, but there are still a few spots left for our Mexico, Thailand, and Bali trips. Sign up today!

Eggplant Fries

The Date: Tuesday, July 12
The Delivery: Veggie fries from Dominex
Staff Pick: The fries!

The DL: We are very interested in trying these eggplant fries. Will they taste like French fries? Onion rings? Both? We'll just have to taste test and see. In the meantime, we're so excited to bring you our 2012 VegVacations to Bali, Mexico, India, and Thailand! You pick the trip, we'll bring the eggplant fries and our 10 travel essentials.

Books, DVDs, and Vegan Caramel Agave

The Date: Monday, January 24

The Delivery: The Raw Truth: Recipes and Resources for the Living Foods Lifestyle by Jeremy A. Safron, Voyage to Betterment: A Health and Happiness True Life Story DVD, and caramel agave dipping nectar from The Real Food Trading Company

Staff Pick: The caramel agave dipping nectar

The DL: What could be better than a sugar-free, organic, vegan alternative to caramel syrup? Well, maybe a trip to India with VegNews Vacations, featuring VN's very own Publisher Joe Connelly and Associate Publisher Colleen Holland, but we can't all be that lucky. We here at VNHQ will mask our jealousy instead by looking forward to dousing some crisp apples in the contents of this bottle of sweet caramel nectar.

Bangin' Burritos

The Date: Tuesday, July 6
The Delivery: Some unique burritos and a 3-Day Detox Program from Kaeng Raeng
Staff Pick: The Mediterranean Couscous Wrap from Evol

The DL: Though not an entirely vegetarian line, these new wraps are completely vegan and look quite tasty. Yes, we're thinking these may be lunch in the near future.

Ever wanted to go to India? We just announced our second Great Adventure to India, happening in February! Hurry and reserve your spot; they are going fast!

Cool Cookbook

The Date: Thursday, June 24
The Delivery: The CAFO Reader: The Tragedy of Industrial Animal Factories edited by Daniel Imhoff, a second book from The 30 Minute Vegan, and some Time Arrest Crème Cleanser and sample pack from Dr. Brandt
Staff Pick: The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of the East by Mark Reinfeld and Jennifer Murray

The DL: This cookbook includes 150 recipes from India, Thailand, China, and Japan, along with "Asian Fusion" foods. If it's anything like their last book, then we can't wait to crack it open!

Every Dollar Counts

Date: Wednesday, February 24
The Delivery: Three Rescue Chocolate bars, a thought-provoking book, Nasoya's new Tofu Plus, and NuGo Nutrition energy bars
Staff Pick: On a Dollar a Day by Christopher Greenslate and Kerri Leonard

The DL: Social justice teachers, Greenslate and Leonard—both vegan—decided to start eating on one dollar a day for a month in order to help show the true cost of feeding a family in America. Looks like a fun and inspiring read!
