There is certainly weed news worth working through this week, but Christmas doesn’t care! (And shipping deadlines are closing in.) If you, like me, are the Token Weed Person of your family and group chats, you have a reputation to uphold, and I can’t say I found any of this year’s mainstream weed guides hit the mark. Fortunately for your loved ones, I never stopped paying attention to interesting and innovative launches during my newsletter-light year.
Everything on this list can be ordered online, which is why there isn’t much flower. For high-THC, go to a dispensary you trust and ask lots of questions about the farm behind the flower that smells best to you. If the budtender doesn’t know anything about the farm, go to a different shop. If they don’t let you smell flower before buying in your state, come visit Oregon 🙂. There are also zero drinks here…mostly because I still haven’t normalized drinking weed in my rituals. Maybe next season!
Without further ado, here’s Sticky Bits’ 2025 Gift Guide, based on the best gifts I’ve given and a few things I’ve got my eye on.
For The Salt-Of-The-Earth Uncle: Heir Handpipe
It’s wood, metal, and ceramic in all the right places. Half the men in my family asked for this over the years.
For The Gen Z Stoner:
Jeremy Dean x Raw Garden Collection — 420 Hoodie
They’ll love the nostalgia of the perfectly imperfect wash and custom design by the graphic tee/concert poster legend, Jeremy Dean.
For The Millennial Stoner: Mary Kate & Ash Tray
Ashtrays are highly personal — and something fun to buy yourself. But this timeless shape and very specific wordplay ensure delight with the right audience.
For The Outdoorsy Cousin:
Topo Designs x Dangle Supply Musette Bag
Extremely utilitarian, lightweight, water-resistant, and big enough for a book/journal, phone, lighter, and a joint case. Can be customized as snug as you want as a crossbody fit. Also looks cool in the city.
For The Home Grower: Rogue Paq Python Scissors
After so many decades of prohibition, cultivating your own plants at home is a special, meaningful practice. Make the ritual even more precious with these lovely small scissors—perfect for detail work as you trim buds and also great for snipping other homegrown herbs for cooking.
For The Sativa Diva:
Pure Beauty Strawberry Pitaya Gummies
The first gummies to actually nail a buzzy, energizing high for me in a looooong time.
For The Flower Head Who Gets Bored:
Barbari Herbal Pre-Roll Variety Pack
Smoking herbs + cannabis is a new dimension for joint-lovers—once you understand which herbs you prefer. Find your flavor with this 5-blend pack, featuring USDA organic hemp grown by Oregon’s East Fork Cultivars.
For The Joint-Setter:
Green Scenes: A Guide To Cannabis Destinations Across the US
The only guide to the most reliable dispensaries, unique experiences, and inspiring personalities that define America’s most poppin’ cannabis culture hubs. It looks great on a coffee table, too. ;)
For The California Dreamer: The Family Acid
This recent release from Broccoli Publishing documents the golden age of the Golden State with a trip through Roger Steffens’ archive of over 40,000 film photos. Double exposures and signature Broccoli-fied art direction make every page a feast for the eyes.
For The Best Cook In The Fam:
Hoshigaki Persimmon Rose Chocolate
Their 70% Blanco Jaguar cacao, 5 mg per generously-sized square bars are some of the best chocolate I’ve ever had. Been dying to try the latest persimmon drop.
For The Chic Sibling: Mister Green Hippie Shit Fragrance
This iconic Palo Santo-inspired parfum is a refined, gender-neutral blend of notes of soft wood, neroli, musk, smoke, and leather. The perfect juxtaposition with its irreverent name. Restocked for a very limited time.
For The Best Foot Massager:
oHHo Dream Cream &
Tonic Body Butter with CBD & CBG
For The Arthritic Artisan: Flower Mill 2.0” Grinder
The smoothest, lowest-resistance user experience and perfectly not-too-powdery results.
For The Bonger At Heart: Mantelpiece
It’s a vase! It’s a glass sculpture! No, it’s a bong! With the best name ever. A totally fresh approach to the classic tubular shape.
Bonus Bong Mention:
I can’t attest to this user experience, but Yung Lauren would’ve been pretty keen to try out this self-cleaning Mary Go Round bowl.
Stocking Stuffers
Small essentials any flower enthusiast will appreciate.
