There’s no surer way to make the holidays more festive than with a little cannabis, and now that it’s legal in states throughout the country, there’s no better time than now to gift the ultimate cannabis swag.
From vaporizers and vitamins to pipes and soaks, this past year saw a ton of terrific creation and innovation in the world of cannabis, so we highlighted some of our favorites below to help you turn your holidays into a holidaze and give everyone in the family a little something extra to smile about.
1. Shine 24k Gold Pre-Roll Cone ($14)
Shine a light on that special someone this holiday with Shine Paper’s handcrafted 24k Gold Pre-Roll Cone. Made with the finest edible gold and a hemp blend base for a smooth burn, these gold pre-rolls are perfect for lighting up the holiday season with that special someone. Or just your single uncle.
- 2. Kannastör GR8TR V2 Grinder Jars ($75-$89)
Yes, the annual holiday grind can be stress-free—if you’re using the right grinder, of course. These sleek, premium grinders from Kannastör put other grinders to shame with their killer looks and killer teeth—ones built with an innovative Micro-Teeth and Press (MTP) design that utilizes heavy-duty, magnetically secured micro-teeth to shred your buds from both the top and the bottom, all while simultaneously pressing through the grinds, offering a near-perfect blend with every use. Plus they do double duty as both a storage unit and kief catcher, with innovative, patent-pending plates and chambers that can easily be interchanged for different looks and functions.
3. Cannassist Vitamins ($29.99)
Perfect for the everyday cannabis consumer in your life, Cannassist is the world’s first and only vitamin made to support the health and wellness of those who frequently enjoy cannabis, whether that cannabis be THC, CBD, or hemp. Scientifically formulated by a biomedical PhD, these daily multivitamins have been peer reviewed and clinically proven to replenish, renew, and revitalize the body and immune system, improving overall health and increasing feelings of well-being. And what better time to increase feelings of well-being than during the holidays?
4. Topstone V2 Vaporizer ($280)
A favorite here at The Hemponair, Topstone Projects’ eye for craftsmanship, detail, and design are second to none in the industry, and the latest iteration of their acclaimed tabletop vaporizer is the perfect example. Taking learnings and user feedback from the initial prototype, the Topstone V2 is not just more refined, but more functional too, with a new hand-sanded bocotte mouthpiece and leather stingray power button that fires her up in no time. Plus with a handmade build and quality, the Topstone looks just as good in the hand as it does on the shelf. Or under the tree.
There’s no better time than the holidays to start tinkering around with cocktails, and there’s no better book than Cannabis, Cocktails, and Mocktails to help you get started. Written by “The Cocktail Whisperer” himself, Mr. Warren Bobrow’s book combines the hot culinary trends of mixology and infusion into one large, informative how-to, complete with tips, tidbits, and over 75 classic recipes to keep everyone in the family singing and smiling, including your in-laws!
6. Smith Street Candle Co. x The Hemponair Cannabis-Scented Soy Candle ($35)
Nothing says the holidays like a warm group chill by the fire, and nothing says it better than one that smells like cannabis. And no, we’re not talking about the buds you and your siblings will likely be burning on the backyard patio. We’re talking about this lovely cannabis-scented candle that’s sure to turn stuffed noses into festive ones (and no, not that festive). Teaming up with Brooklyn-based Smith Street Candle Co., we searched high and low for the perfect cannabis scent, then got our hands dirty with the candle makers themselves in their Smith Street studio to create this one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly soy candle—perfect for getting your holidays lit in all the right places.
7. Genius Pipe Mini ($75-$99)
Speaking of getting lit, the Genius Pipe was a huge hit (and then some) when it first rolled onto the scene several years ago, revolutionizing the way people smoked a classic cannabis pipe. Now for the new year, the two computer engineers behind the original Genius design have made waves once again with the Genius “Mini,” which manages to take the pipe’s patented interior dimple design that cleans and cools the smoke and apply it to a pipe a quarter of its size. One that can easily fit in a pocket rather than a duffel. Sorry Santa, we’ve got this.
8. Unplugged Essentials Hemp Soak ($25)
Between last-minute gift shopping and last-minute travel delays, the holidays can be quite the whirlwind. Thankfully, we found the perfect gift to help calm that wind down in Unplugged Essentials’ high-end hemp soaks. Unlike other cannabis bath products that use either isolated CBD or regular ‘ole cannabis oils, Unplugged Essentials uses a proprietary mix of mineral salts and water-soluble, hemp-derived, phytocannabinoid-rich powder to ensure the body takes full advantage of the hundreds of beneficial bioactive components naturally present in hemp. And with all the holiday craziness, those bioactive hemp components will certainly come in handy.
With the cold winter weather comes cold-weather beards, and while Santa’s no doubt grown accustomed to his (he is from the North Pole, after all), some of us noobs and even veterans alike could use a little help with ours. Specifically, keeping that beard hair free of dirt and flakes, which is where a solid beard oil comes into play. Made right here in New York City by Brooklyn-based Bios Apothecary, this hemp seed beard oil contains pure botanical extracts, plant essences, and hemp seed oil derived from Cannabis Sativa to ensure even the bushiest of beards stays groomed and polished. And while you can’t exactly smoke it, you can certainly smell it—and yes, it’s likely a whole lot better than whatever worn-in odor your current beard is sporting. Now if only all those creepy mall Santas could get their hands on some.
10. Cannador Cannabis Humidor ($159-$249)
Reserved for the true cannabis connoisseur, the Cannador is the perfect gift for those who live the high life in luxury and style. Its classy wooden stash box stores cannabis at optimal temperatures thanks to its patented Humidity Bead System, which uses innovative beads to absorb and release humidity as needed. This ensures the interior temperature never goes above or below a specific ratio, which in turn ensures the buds stay fresher, longer. Unlike your aunt’s holiday souffle.
