Movies, Wallets, and Greek Delights

The Date: Friday, July 8
The Delivery: An advance copy of Vegucated, vegan wallets from The Vegan Collection, Turkish delight and ouzo from Greece (thanks to Editor-at-Large Laura Hooper Beck for the goods!), and The Latest in Clinical Nutrition, Volume 5
Staff Pick: Veducated

The DL: We first learned about the new documentary Vegucated when talking to Marisa Miller Wolfson for May+June 2011's "Water Cooler," and we can't wait to watch the film. It's always interesting to watch people's transformations as they go vegan. Spend your next rainy weekend watching some more great  veg films (did someone say Babe?) in our 10 Must-See Veggie Movies. Happy Friday!

Vegan Wallets and Soap

The Date: Monday, April 25

The Delivery: Vegan wallets from Big Skinny and assorted natural soaps from Wembé

Staff Pick: The passion fruit soap

The DL: This fruity and fragrant vegan soap is not only packed with all-natural Amazonian ingredients like passion fruit, but also includes the seeds of the tropical gem to help exfoliate knees and hands. Smooth skin that smells good enough to eat? Don't mind if we do. Except we would mind if you tried to take a bite out of us. That would be painful and a little awkward.

Flip Flops, a Wallet, and Cookbooks

The Date: Friday, January 28

The Delivery: Flip flops from Okabashi, a wallet from The Vegan Collection, Vegan Bake Sale by Carla Kelly, and Vegan Diner by Julie Hasson

Staff Pick: Vegan Diner

The DL: Happy Friday from the VNHQ! On this chilly day the office has been craving some seriously warm comfort food—just the kind of stuff littering the pages of Julie Hasson's new cookbook. (Psst! You might find Julie in our upcoming March+April 2011 issue.) Not only do the french fries (and burger, and potato salad...) on the cover look great, but we love a good non-dairy milkshake as much as the next person. Speaking of milkshakes: want to know which non-dairy milk works best as a base for your next chocolate-Oreo shake? Check out our handy guide to non-dairy milks.

The Vegan Bible (Belt)

Date: Wednesday, November 18
The Delivery: Some cruelty-free accessories from The Vegan Collection and several more copies of 1,000 Vegan Recipes by Robin Robertson
Staff Pick: The "Sampras" belt from The Vegan Collection

The DL: You can never have too many belts, especially when they're this versatile. Plus, The Vegan Collection donates 25 percent of its profits to animal charities.

Stay tuned for our Robin Robertson cookbook giveaway on Café VegNews!

Dress to Impress Monday

Date: Monday, August 17
The Delivery: Some fine-looking tea from Republic of Tea, a couple belts and wallets from The Vegan Collection, and some classy makeup
Staff Pick: The Deluxe Eyeshadow from Urban Decay

The DL: There's a good possibility that you'll buy this shadow just for the cool case, and it looks like each shade has an individual design. And did we mention that it's cruelty-free?
