Vegan Dessert Gifts for that Special Someone in Your Life

Who doesn’t enjoy a good dessert after a nice meal? Pretty much everyone loves to indulge in a sweet, sugary treat following lunch or dinner. In fact, just because you have a dietary restriction, you shouldn’t be left out of the custom. Yes, if you are vegan you still should be able to enjoy a good, abundant dessert. Hence, we at Malibu Gift have developed a few vegan dessert gifts for you to give to your loved ones. This way, you can give them a sweet treat they are bound to enjoy while catering to their specific diet.

Vegan Gourmet Popcorn


We all know that popcorn itself is vegan, so nothing needs to change there. However, if you want plain popcorn then it’s easier to just pop some kernels yourself. But what is the fun in that? No one really sees plain popcorn as a treat. No, the special gift-worthy popcorn is that with rich, delicious toppings. Caramel popcorn? Now that is a delicacy. However, classic caramel tends to have butter and milk. The solution? Our tantalizing vegan caramel gourmet popcorn. We have developed it in such a way that the taste is indistinguishable from that of our regular caramel popcorn. We want those under vegan dietary restrictions to be able to enjoy the silky taste of caramel over their gourmet popcorn. Now that is an ideal vegan dessert gift.

Vegan Chocolate Treats
Chocolate suffers from the same issue as caramel. It usually contains some sort of dairy product that keeps it from being vegan. Don’t worry, though, because that doesn’t stop us here at Malibu Gift. We know just how much you wish to enjoy the sweet, rich taste of chocolate. Who doesn’t enjoy the undeniable decadence of a dark chocolate truffle, after all? We have a wide array of truffles in our catalog, some of which are vegan. Our dark chocolate vegan orange vodka truffles offer the perfect valance of that sweet citrus orange flavor with the strength of vodka, all coated in luxurious dark chocolate. Meanwhile, our dark chocolate peanut butter vegan truffles have a distinct nutty flavor that gives each truffle a wonderful combination of salty and sweet tastes. Either option is sure to satisfy that guilty craving you have without having to compromise your dietary restraints.

Vegan Dessert Gifts and Accompaniments

Of course, no one likes to have dessert all by itself. Everyone knows that there are many great ways to pair up your dessert with a nice drink. What kind of drink? Well, that’s entirely up to you. Some people love to have some coffee with their dessert in order to help counter the heaviness of the meal they just ate. Others like to have some wine along with their dessert after dinner. Regardless of whether you are more of a wine or a coffee person, we at Malibu Gift have something for you. On one hand, we have our very own coffee blends, carefully crafted for our customers. At the same time, we have plenty of wine glasses and vintage accessories for wine enthusiasts to do their own palates justice.

Summery Treats for Barbeques, Cocktail Parties, and More!

Summer is in full swing here in the Los Angeles area and we’re excited about the fresh produce, healthy meals, and fruity cocktails that the season brings! At Malibu Gift, we have plenty of treats and gifts that complement the summertime. Our vegan gourmet popcorn, Lemon Butter Cookies, and more are the perfect addition to any summery occasion.

A Laid Back Summer Calls for Casual Luxury

If you’re like us, you’re dying to get back to a normal summer filled with plenty of time on the beach, socializing with friends and family, unwinding, and just enjoying the time of year where everything slows down a bit. This year, we’re trading in the parties for smaller gatherings in our backyards. Fresh fruit, crusty baguette, barbeque, and of course, a few of Malibu Gift’s best summery treats! Our current favorite is our Signature Lemon Butter Cookies. These melt in your mouth, creamy cookies are perfect to bring to an outdoor gathering as they’re easy to pass around, pop in your mouth, and savor! Just remember to only touch one to avoid contact during these trying times!

Having an outdoor movie night with friends or family? Our Signature Gourmet Popcorn is a must-have! Caramel, cheddar, and dark chocolate make up our varieties, combining sweet and savory into one delicious snack!

There’s nothing better than finally seeing loved ones after months of social distancing, even if it’s not going to be quite the same yet. An outdoor movie get-together is a fun and relatively safe way to catch up and enjoy some quality time together. Combine good friends and a classic movie with a few gourmet snacks from Malibu Gift and we can’t think of a better summer evening!

Malibu Gift’s Summer Palette

Our summer sweets palette this year? Coconut, Lemon, Sea Salt Brown Butter, and Orange! These light yet incredibly satisfying flavors are a big part of what makes the Malibu Gift collection so special. Our Coconut Macaroon Gift Tin is the perfect gift for a host, a loved one far away, or to just treat yourself. We all know you deserve it!

A hidden gem at Malibu Gift is our Sea Salt Brown Butter Drop cookies. These melt-in-your-mouth cookies also come chocolate dipped and pair perfectly with an afternoon cup of Dume Coffee or tea. Picture yourself sitting on your porch with these cookies and a good book for the best laid back summer afternoon.

Last but certainly not least, our Dark Chocolate Orange Vodka Truffles are our late-night choice of decadence. If there’s a better combination than orange and chocolate, we certainly wouldn’t know it! Pair this Malibu Gift classic with a flute of champagne or dry white wine and you’ve got a sinfully decadent evening.

Of course, you can’t go wrong with any of our signature gifts and treats this summer. It all depends on your taste and the palette you’re looking to create. From our vegan gourmet popcorn to our Lemon Butter Cookies, there’s something for everyone! Visit our website to find exactly what you’ll need for the perfect laid back summer.

Wedding Gifts in the Time of COVID-19

Malibu Gift believes that no matter how tough things get, we can find a silver lining in anything. One silver lining is our belief that now, more than ever, food brings everyone together, even when far apart. Combine that with wedding season during social distancing and you need the perfect Malibu gourmet food gift to send to your newlywed friends. They’re probably feeling bittersweet and missing all their friends and family who couldn’t be there to celebrate with them on their big day. Sending them a treat from Malibu Gift not only will be a sweet gesture, it’ll be a sweet memory for years to come when they look back on their unique wedding day.

Surprise the Newlyweds with a Pre-Celebration Gift


During the age of social distancing, many couples have postponed their wedding celebrations until the end of the pandemic to protect their guests and themselves. However, we have noticed and are loving the trend of intimate backyard ceremonies where just a few close family members attend. Many are also having the ceremonies filmed for everyone who can’t be there and we see and love that beautiful silver lining in these trying times. Of course, this has led to guests wondering when they should give them the wedding present they bought. If you’re planning to wait until the reception or celebration months from now but are trying to find a small present for the time being to congratulate them, Malibu Gift is the perfect place to shop for the happy couple!

Celebrate from Afar with Malibu Gift’s Customized Gourmet Treat Gift Box 

Sending the newlyweds a gourmet treat box to show your excitement for them is the perfect placeholder for the larger gift you give them later on. Malibu Gift’s Customized Gourmet Treat Gift Boxes are excellent for any celebration but are especially great for special occasions during the pandemic. Visit our website to mix and match our luxurious offerings to create a unique gift tailored to the couple’s taste. We recommend picking 4-5 items with a personalized note to send, though you can choose as many as you like and we’ll take care of the rest!

A Few Popular Combinations We Suggest

Knowing what the bride and groom (or groom and groom, or bride and bride!) like to snack on is a good indicator of what they’ll love the most from Malibu Gift. Do they have sweet tooths, or are they a bigger fan of something salty? Do they prefer dark chocolate or would they fancy a chocolate chip cookie? Not sure? Try a little of everything, there’s two of them anyways! We always love to pair two lighter items with two richer items, such as our signature Dark Chocolate Truffles and a bag of Dume Coffee with our Lemon Butter Cookies and our Classic Caramel Gourmet Popcorn. Add one of our Vintage Wine Accessories or Wine Glasses and it’s the perfect celebratory gift!

When to Reward Your Dog with Some Healthy Pet Treats

If there’s something certain about dog treats it’s that dogs love them. You know your dog will go crazy the moment you even approach the shelf where you keep those treats. They definitely make your dogs very happy, which, in turn, will make you very happy as well. Getting some healthy pet treats for your dog will be a great reward for both of you.

Treating Your Dog to Some Treats

Yes, giving your dog some pet treats is always fun. You almost want to see your dog happy whenever possible. However, just like you are not treating yourself at all times, you need to be careful about giving treats to your dog. It’s not that it’s rocket science, but it is something you need to be cautious about. There are certain rules that are good to keep in mind so that these treats don’t lose their charm or their effectiveness.

When to Give Treats

The most common case scenario for giving your pet a treat is rewarding them for good behavior in order to train them. If you are potty-training your dog or if you are encouraging them to eat all their food, these are great ways of rewarding them and conditioning them. Over time, your dog will no longer need the treats in order to behave appropriately! Be sure to take a few precautions when giving your dog their treats. For once, make sure that the ingredient list doesn’t have anything your pup is allergic to or that the calorie count is not exceeding medical recommendations. Lastly, always remember to give your dog some space, not just while they’re getting their treat, but while they’re eating in general. They usually won’t like to be bothered while they enjoy their food.

What Not to Do

First of all, it’s good to remember not to give your dog too many treats. Their diet should obviously consist mainly of their actual food. This should be their main source of nutrients, which is why the treats should be given sparsely and in a way that doesn’t intervene with their actual diet. Also, try not to give dogs any treats when they are hyped or excited. These could lead to them getting too jumpy. You also need to make sure never to give your dogs human snacks since they can be quite harmful. Best case scenario, they have more calories than your dog should be having. Worst? The food could be actively bad or even poisonous for them. Chocolate, for example, is really bad for a pet.

Get the Best Healthy Pet Treats

We all love our dogs and want them to have everything they could possibly want or desire. Of course, you can’t just give them a bite of your steak, as this could potentially make them sick. When you wish to reward them, you probably want to give them healthy pet treats that can make them happy while also being good for them. You can find some great options here at Malibu Gift. These wonderful and nutritious pet treats will make sure your pup feels rewarded and cared for.

MalibuGift’s Gourmet Dume Coffee Beans

Coffee is such an integral part of our lives that it’s hard to imagine going without it. Our Gourmet Dume Coffee Beans roasted locally in Malibu have been crafted with that same passion in mind. Our blends are perfect for a wide array of occasions and coastal coffee habits. The So Cal Blend is our favorite 😉  Here are the many ways in which you can enjoy our wonderful blends and unique tastes.

Start Your Mornings Right

Nothing gets your day started quite like a nice cup of coffee, does it?  Coffee is a great way to invigorate yourself in prep for the morning surf session or just about anything if you’re not a surfer.   Never underestimate just how important that first cup of coffee can be for anybody.  Our Dume Coffee Beans are blended for a European, South American, and Southern Cal taste experience.  Check out the roast description online.  So Cal is our personal favorite.

Indulge on a Shot of Espresso

Following the Italian tradition, espresso is the tastiest way to serve coffee with more caffeine per unit than most other coffee drinks. Espresso has become a very prominent option for those seeking to get some quick and effective energy at any point throughout the day. Sometimes you just need a wake up call in between projects or meetings for some needed support! 

Give the Gift of Malibu’s Gourmet Dume Coffee Beans

There are very few people out there who don’t enjoy a variety of coffee notes. After all, what’s not to like? It can taste rich and provides a daily sense of stability.  It wakes you up!   The only thing people like more than enjoying their own great coffee in the morning, is when a gift of excellent coffee is given to them they can enjoy.  We’ve worked hard to develop a blend everyone will be able to look forward to upon waking up in the morning.  The So Cal blend is our favorite.  This blend has notes that taste like “chocolate”
