Just a short decade ago, holiday shopping for a cannabis lover was tough work. Before widespread legalization or a cannabis gift guide like this, options were limited. In a typical head shop, you had one rack for Bob Marley-inspired weed paraphernalia, and another for psychedelic, lava-lamp-style accessories. That was mostly it.
Luckily, the cannabis industry has evolved with the times. Now, the landscape is wide open, diverse, and—who would’ve guessed—sophisticated. You can find elegant set pieces, highly functional accessories, playful stocking stuffers, and other cannabis-related goodies. Best of all, you can order most of it online. The Boveda Cannabis Gift Guide offers some of the finest cannabis gifts for the bud-lover on your list.
Trays Under the Tree
Cannabis culture is decidedly more sophisticated than it used to be. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the accessories market—namely, ashtrays and rolling trays.
Ashtrays – You can find crystal, bespoke ceramic, hand-painted glass, and quartz ashtrays from various luxury retailers that serve double duty as a functional item and piece of art. (This Vice article lists some particularly cool options).
Rolling Trays – Similarly, the market is awash in artistic wood, ceramic, concrete, and tin rolling trays like this handmade Poplar and Padauk beauty by Bearded Wood.
Boveda: The Perfect Gift for Cannabis Smokers
Give the cannabis lover on your list the gift of year-round fresh bud. These Boveda products are what you need to keep your tree ever-green.
Boveda Packs – Hopefully, the flower enthusiast in your life already uses Boveda to keep their stash fresh and protected. Presenting them with a pack of their favorite RH is like giving the gift of freshness, month after month.
Not sure which RH to get? Both RHs keep weed fresh and protect potency, so it usually comes down to the quality of your stash, and how you prefer to enjoy it. Revive a stale stash or store for an extended time with B62 KeepFresh. Use B58 KeepFresh for bud you’re planning to grind and enjoy. And Boveda packs make a fantastic stocking stuffer—they’re inexpensive, indispensable, and fit neatly inside a stocking.
A Bag Santa Would Envy
Cannabis Storage Bags – Boveda Fresh bags—available in a travel-friendly ½ oz size, and a convenient, reusable 1lb size—make the ideal present for connoisseurs. Each bag comes pre-loaded with a B62 KeepFresh, plus they’re sturdy, with an airtight press seal to keep your cannabis safe from the elements. Boveda’s 2-way humidity control dials in the relative humidity inside a storage container, preserving potency by protecting the terpene-rich trichomes for a fresh, flavorful smoke every time. No more suffering through dry, dusty, and stale-tasting weed.
Ideal Storage for Holiday Tree
CVault – You really can’t go wrong with premium storage options. The stainless steel CVault collection features light-proof, shatter-proof, odor-blocking technology. They’re also easy to clean, feature a food-grade silicone seal, and the lid is fitted to hold a Boveda for total protection from the environmental conditions that degrade unprotected cannabis. And they come in so many sizes! For a casual smoker, the ½ Oz CVault might be sufficient. Snag it on its own or as part of the Cannabis Stash Starter Kit. But for those with a larger stash, like home growers, the 2 Liter CVault—capable of keeping ¼ lb of flower fresh and potent for months—might be the way to go.
Don’t forget your fashionista friends! For them, there’s the CVault Chromatic Collection. Available in limited edition colors, and featuring interchangeable lids, this stash storage system is designed to store your weed and keep it fresh with style.
Gifts for Weed Growers
Help the DIYers and home gardeners in your life get growin’ with these thoughtful cannabis gifts.
Hygrometer – Controlling the humidity is vital throughout the growing process. A quality digital hygrometer can tell you what you need to know at a glance, from temperature to humidity—it can even sound an alarm if conditions become too hot, cold, humid, or dry.
Boveda’s Cannabis Grow Kit – A practical gift regardless of their experience level. This kit contains all the tools a grower needs to cure and store their harvest, designed specifically for the needs of home growers.
Create Your Own Super Soil – There’s nothing like handmade gifts for the holidays. Get your hands a little dirty while crafting your own special blend of cannabis super soil, and surprise your favorite green thumb.
The Gift of Grind
Is the bud enthusiast on your list still working with a cheap, rickety grinder they got as part of a promotional event at their local budtender? It might be time for a hardware upgrade.
Novelty Grinders – Practical, inexpensive, and available in pretty much every conceivable design. They might not be the best in terms of quality or longevity, but find one of your giftee’s favorite subject, and it’s sure to be a hit.
Quality Grinders – Typically made from materials like stainless steel, or sporting an anti-static nano-ceramic coating, a good quality grinder can range from $30 to over $100. These models usually have several layers for grinding, storing recently ground flower, and catching kief.
Electric Grinders – Great for people with chronic pain or arthritis issues. Look for a model with a funnel dispenser to make packing a bowl or filling rolling papers as easy as pushing a button.
Festive Stocking Stuffers
No Cannabis Gift Guide would be complete without a bit of kitsch. Especially around the holidays, it’s fun to lean into the culture and have some fun with cannabis. Here are a few choice items (each easily found online) that marry the holiday spirit with cannabis:
Odor-eliminating candles – Forget burning bundles of nag champa; consider an odor-eliminating candle instead. Many are specifically designed for cannabis users, like the “Cannabolish” candles. They’re a fun spin on the classic candle stocking stuffer.
Candy cane rolling papers – They’re exactly how they sound—rolling papers look and taste like candy cane. They’re a fantastic stocking stuffer for any Yuletide stoner.
Gingerbread man edibles – This one will take some prep on your part. Check out this recipe from High Times for “Ganja Gingerbread Men.” If you aren’t familiar with making safe, consistent cannabis butter, check out this guide first.
Hopefully, this cannabis gift guide helps point you in the direction of the perfect gift for seasoned—or budding—cannabis enthusiasts. Getting your loved one actual cannabis for Christmas (because, hey, ‘tis the season!)? Don’t forget to wrap it in an airtight container with a Boveda humidity pack so it stays fresh and potent, no matter what season it’s consumed. Happy smoking, and happy holidays to those who celebrate!
