Someone you love loves weed. That should make holiday gifting a little easier for you. Get them some pot, some pre-rolls, some edibles, some concentrates – or go for something completely different that they’d never buy for themselves! From bongs and trays to rolling papers and lighters, there are a lot of accessories that would be ideal to slap a bow onto and be excitedly received by your favourite stoners.
Here are some ideas that go beyond the basics.
SMOKE BUDDY – Available in an assortment of colours and patterns – with matching buddy keychain no less! – this little apparatus filters the smoke out of your bong rip, keeping the air clean and the tell-tale skunky smell from giving you away. It’s quite effective in keeping the scent from permeating your home. $25
ROLLING PAPER – Elements, Raws, ZigZags – there are a ton of brands out there and they’re all a little different. Stuff a stocking with a variety. From flavours and thicknesses to different sizes and styles, it’s kind of fun to get papers you don’t usually use and it’s a great way to discover something new to enjoy! $2.50 and up
CONES – Some people roll because, well, it’s a life skill. But some people don’t. The problem with that is that it cuts the selection down. The solution to that is cones! Whether it’s a fancy pack of colourful cones that make Instagram worthy joints or a simple multi-pack to fill, cones give you options! $10 and up
DUBE TUBES – Got joints but nothing to safely carry them in? It’s an age old problem. There are a few different kinds of containers, pick the dube tube that best fits their aesthetic. From patterned leather cases to a simple water-proof plastic three-pack, there are dube tubes of every size and style. $8 and up
PIPES – Not everyone loves using a pipe, but at some point everyone has found them to come in handy. The last rolling paper gone? No problem! Not enough weed to roll a whole joint? No problem. Someone brought some hash? No problem! They’re always handy as a back-up and very efficient for consumption. And pretty. Pipes also come in all sizes and styles – artisan glass, metal, ceramic. They’re just a cool piece to have. $9 and up
LIGHTER – Lighters have always made for great gifting. The Zippo is still one of the coolest things around – but Not when you smoke weed. The butane that those kinds of lighters give off will kill the flavour of your joint, pipe or bong hit. It’s not ideal for smoking weed. There are some pretty fancy other lighters – we have kind of fallen in love with the RAW Electric Arc. This baby is rechargeable and doesn’t take any kind of gas. The electric arc formed between the two filaments will light anything passing within. Upside down or right side up, this is the future of lighters. And no flavour, chemical residue or other concerns. It’s a clean burn. $38
VAPING – This one can be a stocking stuffer or the big gift, depending on what kind of vaper you’ve got on your list. There are so many options when it comes to vaping. The easiest is the 510 thread cartridges that screw into a basic battery. There are so many options on the market, and they all fit into a 510 thread battery. The Hush Pro is nice because it’s discrete and fits in the palm of your hand. It has an on and off switch as well as a pre-heat mode, and the design protects your cart from damage. They come in metallic or leather finishes. $30
Vaporizing can be taken next level with a dry herb vape. These have coils that reach very high heat quite efficiently and take the flower past incineration right to vaporization. When you vape you are ingesting less carcinogens, less combusted particulate getting inhaled. This Arizer AirSE handheld unit is incredible. $120 and there are tabletop workhorses like the Arizer V-Tower and Extreme Q that will last a lifetime, handle the party and be a thing of beauty! $149 and up.
There are tons more – bongs, dab rigs, grinders, trays, bubblers, roach clips and still the list goes on! So this year, go past the liquor store and visit your favourite local, independent pot shop for some great prezzies. There are so many options and opportunities at every size and price point. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or have never partaken, there will be someone to guide you through your gifting needs.
