Top Ten Best Holiday Cannabis Gifts for 2021

‘Tis the season for holiday gift-giving! With the legal cannabis industry offering consumers many gift options, which are the best ones? HashDash has you covered.

Giving gifts around the end of the calendar year is certainly nothing new. But, legally gifting your friends and family cannabis products is something fairly new, especially for those of us in states where legalization measures passed in 2020. There are a ton of options for cannabis products for consumers, whether you decide to give an 8th of flower, a case of social tonic, or a cannabis cookbook.

Thankfully, many of these presents are still perfectly legal in states where the plant isn’t. Only about half will be permitted strictly in states where adult use has been legalized. We have indicated these gift ideas in parentheses, to make sure we keep our holiday spirits aligned. Without further ado, here is HashDash’s top ten list for some of the best holiday cannabis gifts, in no particular order.

1. Case of Cannabis-Infused Beverages (Only In Legal States)

The cannabis-infused beverage market has been absolutely exploding in the last few years, with no end in sight. Even the most inexperienced cannabis consumer would likely love a case of social tonic or hemp CBD infused beverage.

Some of our favorites include Cann, Tinley’s, Mood33, and Dixie. Be sure to check out our How-To Guide on consuming infused beverages for much more in-depth information.

2. Canna-Cookbook

Since the COVID-19 pandemic forced so many of us to spend most of our time at home, cooking with cannabis has been exploding over the last 2 years. Cooking at home traditionally means you look up recipes in a cookbook, and adding cannabis as a delightful ingredient is no different.

Cooking with cannabis requires a little more knowledge and skill than simply making a normal dish, most importantly knowing how to decarboxylate. Paring the right cannabis with the right dish is also important. For some excellent canna-cookbook gift ideas, be sure to check out our list of some of the top ones right here.

3. 8th of a Dessert Cultivar (Only In Legal States)

Another popular product with cannabis consumers is enjoying flowers from some of the best dessert cultivars. Cultivators have expertly crafted varieties with terpene profiles that resemble buttery, creamy, sugary, and citrusy flavors you’d find in cookies, cakes, and pies.

Some of the most popular dessert cultivars are Wedding Cake, Gelato, and the infamous Girl Scout Cookies. As your gift recipient gets to try their dessert cultivar, they might be interested in pairing the flower with their favorite holiday dishes.

4. Home-Based Rosin Press (Only In Legal States)

For the more experienced consumer with the desire for at-home DIY, a great gift idea is a home-based rosin press. Solventless hash rosin is one of the most popular cannabis concentrates on the market today. Rosin offers some of the best terpene profiles and tastiest inhales in all of cannabis.

The gift of a rosin press will not only save money for the concentrate lover in your life, but it offers them a sense of pride to know they made their own. Added bonus if your gift recipient grows their own flower for the source material in their press. Home rosin presses have a wide range, from around $100 to over $1000, depending on your gift budget.

5. Rolling Tray and Accessories

Homemade edibles, social tonics, and hash rosin are great, but many cannabis consumers like us are old school. Sometimes we prefer the classic joint, and rolling them requires some accessories. These include rolling papers, hemp wicks, a rolling tray, a grinder, and a lighter. Many websites even offer package deals for all of the above, or you can piece them together yourself.

6. Pack of Pre-Rolls (Only In Legal States)

Rolling your own joints is fun, but not all of us can do so. In fact, many consumers would argue that knowing how to roll is a bit of a lost art. This is due in large part to the fact that pre-rolls are much easier and more convenient than rolling your own.

We won’t say whether that’s a good or bad thing, but a pre-roll pack is a great gift, even for the most experienced consumer. Some brands and dispensaries also offer fancy specialty pre-rolls, with select cultivars and dosages. You may even splurge for a pre-roll that features an outer layer of a delightful concentrate.

7. HØJ - Danish-Designed Accessories

It’s one thing to gift your cannabis-loving friend a glass pipe. It’s another to gift them an HØJ pipe and an accessory that is specifically designed and engineered to simply perform differently and better. HØJ means “high” in Danish, and their accessories are high-quality. Check out our Industry Spotlight on HØJ for more information.

8. Cannabis Subscription Box

There are subscription boxes for any interest and need nowadays, and cannabis consumption is no different. There are subscription boxes available for any budget or need, with pipes, papers, glass dab rigs, lighters, and more available.

Some subscription boxes charge you monthly, or there are others that you can just make a one-time purchase. For some of our top picks of the Best Cannabis Subscription Boxes in 2021, be sure to check out our guide right here.

9. Hemp-Derived CBD Balm

While gifts that are focused on cannabis consumption are amazing, not everyone is a cannabis consumer, or more specifically, a THC consumer. There’s still a cannabis gift for these types, and that’s hemp-derived CBD balm.

CBD balm can be in the form of lip balm, massage oil, or body balm. Even for the non-consumer, CBD balm can help soothe tired, aching muscles after a long workday or for a nice post-workout relief.

10. Kush-Scented Candle

Some people hate the scent of cannabis. We know, we can’t really believe it, either. For those people, maybe all they need is a little nudge, or perhaps a gag gift. One of the funniest gag gifts for those who don’t like the smell of cannabis may just be a ‘Cowboy Kush’ scented candle. Nothing says come to the wonderful world of cannabis like filling your home with the scent of it.

Cannabis Gifts - The Choices Are Endless

These are just some of the best cannabis gift ideas we have thought of for 2021. The sky's the limit and your choices are endless. There are also glass stash jars for flower, a stay at a 420-friendly AirBnB, cannabinoid bath bombs, and so much more. When it comes to cannabis holiday gifts, you’re only limited to your imagination!
