Vegan Soaps and Frozen Pizza

The Delivery: Assorted soaps, shave gels, and lotions from Dr. Bronner's Magic All-One; and vegan cheese and veggie lover's pizzas from Bold Organics
Staff Pick: Veggie pizza yeah!

The DL: Our dearest (fictional) friend Liz Lemon once said "'Lovers' … Oh, that word bums me out unless it's between 'meat' and 'pizza.'" Just throw "veggie" in place of "meat" and we're right there with you, Liz. We haven't been this excited since we found out earlier this week about our exclusive giveaway from Matt & Nat: You can score one of the vegan company's bags from its not-yet-launched spring collection! And did you hear Matt & Nat is also on Gilt Group today? Everything is awesome. Unless you get pizza sauce on your brand-new Matt & Nat bag. That would definitely bum us out.

Movie Passes

The Date: Monday, May 9
The Delivery: Passes to a viewing of the new documentary Forks Over Knives
Staff Pick: The passes

The DL: Tonight, some of the VN staff is heading to downtown San Francisco for a press screening of Forks Over Knives, a documentary about solving America's health care crisis by changing America's diet. We have heard truly fantastic things about the film, and can't wait to watch. If you live in LA or NYC and saw the film this past weekend, head on over to our Facebook page and enter to win our Forks Over Knives giveaway. Telling us your thoughts about the film could get you an awesome $150 prize pack!

Brazier's Vegan Cookbook

The Date: Tuesday, May 3
The Delivery: Whole Foods to Thrive by Brendan Brazier
Staff Pick: Whole Foods to Thrive

The DL: We are big Brendan Brazier fans, and cannot wait to try out some of the recipes in his new cookbook. With whole-foods bites including Chocolate Goodness Smoothies, Beet Ravioli with Basil Macadamia Ricotta, and Walnut Cranberry Energy Bars, we hope eating just like this Ironman will turn us into superhuman athletes. Or we'll just ignore the serving sizes and scarf down entire pans of Brazier's Summery Simple Peach Tart. Either way, really. More interested in devouring a plate of nachos topped with Daiya pepperjack? Be sure to enter the VegNews Cinco de Mayo Giveaway for a chance to win a vegan nacho kit (BYOS: bring your own sombrero).

Cookbooks, Vegan Bites, and Deodorant

The Date: Tuesday, March 8

The Delivery: Good Housekeeping's Simple Vegan! cookbook, NoOodles from NoOodle, organic tamari from Ohsawa, Moroccan Spiced Lemon Simmer Sauce from Passage Foods, deodorant cream from Soapwalla Kitchen, and chocolate-covered cocomels and hard candy from JJ's Sweets

Staff Pick: Simple Vegan!

The DL: We've said it before, but Good Housekeeping just released its first-ever vegan cookbook, and that is something to celebrate. And with recipes from Tempeh Ruben to Cracked Wheat Pretzels, we bet the food will be something to celebrate, too! We're also celebrating our first-ever Vegan Bucket List on VegNews.com, complete with a downloadable list, editor picks, not to mention eight weeks of giveaways! Oh, and it's Fat Tuesday, so we're celebrating Mardi Gras. Maybe we should be playing Kool and the Gang's "Celebrate Good Times." Seems fitting.

Vegan Foie Gras

The Date: Friday, March 4

The Delivery: The Regal Vegan Faux Gras Toasted Walnut Lentil Pâté

Staff Pick: The Faux Gras

The DL: Two containers of The Regal Vegan's Faux Gras arrived at our door today, and we couldn't be more excited to start dipping some (fancy) crackers into it! Instead of being made from duck or goose livers, this spread is walnut- and lentil-based. Healthy, tasty, and cruelty-free? Yes, please. With this week's giveaway of Sjaak's amazing candy bars included, nobody can say vegans don't eat well.

A Book and (More) Deodorant

The Date: Thursday, February 17

The Delivery: Change of Heart by Nick Cooney and natural deodorant from Tom's of Maine

Staff Pick: Change of Heart

The DL: A quote (from Rory Freedman, former VN columnist and co-author of Skinny Bitch, no less) says on on the cover of Change of Heart, "If you want to create a better world, read this book!" Sounds good to us! We are excited to check out Cooney's new tome to see what psychology can teach us about spreading social change. Is there a chapter dedicated to the science behind converting people to veganism with giveaways, book clubs, and cooking demos? Probably not, but maybe we can contribute a page or two for the next edition.

Super Sticky Treats

The Date: Wednesday, April 28
The Delivery: Ice cream from Blue Mountain Cashew Creamery, mail-order treats from Sticky Fingers Bakery, several copies of American Vegan Kitchen (future giveaway to come), and some incredible hazelnut butter bites from Sjaak's
Staff Pick: Nothing can beat the Sticky Fingers Cowvin Cookie

The DL: Take it from us, Sticky Fingers is probably the best thing about Washington, DC—at least food-wise. And now it has brand-new mail-order packaging! If you haven't tried this delicious cookie, hurry to the website now and order a bunch. You won't regret it!
