What Kind of Cannabis User Are They and What Cannabis Products Do They Generally Like to Use?

What Is Your Budget for Your Cannabis Gift?

Before you start shopping, do yourself a favor and set some spending boundaries - that way you won’t go overboard when you see the amazing array of gift ideas. Within your predetermined budget you can find something special within any price range - and maybe even have a little something leftover to buy a gift for yourself too. Don’t worry, we won’t tell!

Does Your Friend Already Use Cannabis Products and Do You Know Their Preferred Brands or Products?

• Edibles: Cannabis edibles are a great choice for people who want to consume cannabis but prefer not to smoke or use other inhalation methods.
• Extracts: Using cannabis extracts is a more potent way to explore the benefits of cannabis.
• Flower: Many people find that smoking or vaporizing flower allows for a more nuanced experience than consuming oil-based products.
• Pre-rolls: Cannabis pre-rolls are increasingly popular among cannabis aficionados, providing a convenient way to enjoy a quality smoking experience.
• Tinctures: Cannabis tinctures are a popular alternative to smoking marijuana, offering numerous benefits from ease of use, to discreteness and portability.
• Topicals: Not only can topicals provide localized relief for aches, pains, and chronic skin conditions without any systemic absorption of the active compounds, but they can also be used as a way to nourish the skin with beneficial plant-based terpenes and fatty acids.
• Vape Cartridges: Vapes have been designed to provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience that many find preferable to smoking or consuming edible products.

With the ever-expanding world of cannabis, there is no shortage of options to choose from. Whether you want something classic and pungent like a joint or discreetly portable like a vape pen, whatever tickles your fancy – it's out there! Be sure to do some research on potency, flavors and desired effects before settling into your perfect pick - knowledge is power in this game!

Are There Any Specific Items You Would Like to Receive as a Cannabis Gift?

Cannabis users are always adding new tools to their belt, and often, what you’d like to receive is often a great idea for someone else, including:

• Grinders: A grinder can save time, preserve and catch trichomes, and result in a slower burn than hand grinding.
• Vape Pen Batteries: Vape cartridges generally use a 510-thread cartridge, though there are many brands that also use their own proprietary battery. An artistic battery based on someone’s personality always makes for a thoughtful gift!
• Water Pipes: The water chamber allows for the smoke to cool in a way that causes cleaner, smoother, and stronger hits. Check out our full guide to bongs for more ideas on finding the perfect piece.
• Butter Makers: For those that enjoy making homemade edibles, a cannabis butter maker can make the process much simpler and from home.
• Flower and Concentrate Vaporizers: Flower vaporizers are popular because no burning of flower is required, while concentrate vaporizers - also known as dab e-rigs and dab pens - are available in different comfort levels, from newbie to cannaisseur.

If you're looking for a gift that keeps on giving, cannabis accessories can't be beat! These essential items are sure to please even the most seasoned smokers – because there's always room for one more in their collection.

Have You Ever Given Someone a Cannabis Gift Before? If So, What Were Some of the Challenges You Faced When Gifting?

• Disliked the taste or effects of that cannabis strain
• Already owned the cannabis accessory that was gifted, and did not want or need another
• Preferred other methods of cannabis intake
• Wanted something with lower amounts of THC

When it comes to finding the perfect present, there's nothing quite like gifting cannabis. But you gotta be careful; not everyone appreciates its effects in precisely the same way, and not all states allow for gifting of cannabis! To avoid any sticky situations (pun fully intended!), just have a chat with your bud-ee and get all of their preferences sorted out before making that purchase – guaranteed they'll love whatever 420-friendly treat ends up on their doorstep! For gifting rules, be sure to take a peep at our cannabis state resources for your Zen state guidelines.

The Cannabis Enthusiast's Gift Guide

Now that you have explored the questionnaire and you’re a little more confident in your cannabis gift-giving abilities let’s explore some of the best cannabis gifts of the season. Your loved ones are guaranteed to enjoy these gifts, and you will love them just as much if you've done a little soul-searching with our self-questionnaire.

If you picked:

• Mostly As, you or your giftee might be a classic cannabis enthusiast
• Mostly Bs may mean you’re adventurous
• Mostly Cs speak to cannabis lovers with a sweet tooth
• Mostly Ds may mean you’re in it for the self-care

This is far from scientific, so feel free to find your gift from any of these categories. But, keeping the cannabis personality in mind, here are some Zen Leaf-curated ideas for gifts that suit each unique cannabis personality type.

For the Classic Cannabis Enthusiast

If you live for the classics, then nothing beats the gift of natural cannabis! Whether it's grinders, glass pipes or papers- any purist will appreciate these awesomely old school accessories for any special occasion.

For the User with a Sweet Tooth

Pre-made edibles, from soft chews and hard candies to drinks, snacks, baked goods, and even spreads can be purchased from your local Zen Leaf Dispensary. Purchasing professionally created products guarantees that the combination of sweet treats and cannabis strains will work together. Plus, you won’t need to find time to make them yourself.

Butter Maker

That said, if you really enjoy baked canna treats, it can become expensive to purchase pre-made edibles on a frequent basis. Alternatively, it is possible to bake edibles in your own home instead of buying them. While our cannabutter recipe is fairly simple to follow, a butter maker can make creating homemade edibles a snap.

For the Cannabis User Who Likes Everything

Some people are just fans of cannabis no matter the form—and that’s something we can get behind. These are great gifts for the versatile cannabis enthusiasts in your life.

Cannabis Grow Kit

Give the gift of green-fingered gardening with a cannabis growing kit! Whether your loved one is already an enthusiastic user, or just curious about what lies behind those pungent leaves, it's sure to be a unique and fun way for them to explore.

Before splurging on a kit, remember that cannabis state regulations vary. Make sure you’re in a state that allows home grow before adding to cart!

Edible Cookbook

For the friend that loves cooking and cannabis, an edibles cookbook will open even more avenues to enjoy. Though brownies are great, there are a host of other cannabis-friendly recipes out there. A cookbook may even suggest dishes you’d never considered infusing with cannabis. A home chef's dream!

Mints

Cannabis mints are the ideal gift for the versatile cannabis user. These potent mints can be used in almost any situation and environment. They work best as a discreet way to partake in your cannabis hobby without any outside judgment.

Note: Most Zen Leaf locations carry mints, be sure to check out a dispensary near you to discover all cannabis products available in your state
