We all have those days – and those friends – where we prefer to be snuggled up on the couch with our comfort show, a cup of our favorite brew, and our favorite way to medicate. Our cozy cannabis gift guide will help you cozy up with the comforts you crave this holiday, or gift them to your favorite Cozy Cannasseur to get the snuggle vibes going.
If you live in a medical state, consider these cozy cannabis gift suggestions as from you, to you!
Cannabis Flower
We're not sure which is more soothing, rolling a joint or smoking one, packing your dry herb vape or hitting it. Either way, your favorite Cozy Cannasseur is sure to savor flower gifted from their best bud (that's you!). Use this gift to tell them who they are in a strain – uplifting pals may be a Pomelo Diesel, chatty friends an Orange Pound Cake – or to encourage a cozy, lazy day with a top-tier relaxing cultivar like Apple Fritter or Watermelon Burst.
Bits Pomegranate R&R
While a Cozy Cannasseur likely needs no help on the relaxation side, Pomegranate R&R Bits can certainly help to maximize it and rest. Infused with CBN and adaptogens ashwaganda, and lemon balm, this low-dose option has maximum soothing effects.

CBD-Infused Socks
There’s a lot to love about the changing seasons, but one clear downside? Cold floors, and therefore, cold feet. It’s this time of year that we’re all thankful for fuzzy socks. Instead of a go-to basic pair, why not upgrade your cozy pal’s sock game with a pair of hemp oil-infused fuzzies from Earth Therapeutics? Loaded with shea butter and aloe vera, these essentials are as soothing as they are warming. Save yourself a trip – might as well snag two!
Woodwick Candle
Nothing says cozy like being curled up by the fire, a warm cup of cocoa in one hand and a joint in the other. For those of us without a fireplace, Woodwick candles are the next best thing. The wick is – you guessed it – made of wood, simulating the ambiance of a crackling fireplace. Whether you go for scent Fireside for that true burning-log feeling or Vanilla Bean to fill your home with the rich scent of baked goods, you’re sure to feel canna-cozy each time you light up.
Bearaby Blanket
If you have a friend with a Bearaby weighted blanket, they’ve probably ranted and raved about them to you...probably unprovoked. Well, it’s not without reason. Weighted blankets are beloved for their medically-proven ability to stimulate your body’s natural serotonin and melatonin production, leading to a better night of sleep – and are perfect for your Cozy Cannasseur pals or self. The only way to elevate Bearaby-level rest? Pair it with Bits R&R gummies.

Rogue Paq Mini Ritual Case Gift Set
Quality, quality, quality. This boujee set was created around the ritual of the roll.

Keep all the essentials in reach with this kit.
Boveda Mini Toker Gift Bundle
Winter is the driest season for many states. If you have to moisten your skin, you probably should be moistening your bud, too! The Boveda Mini Toker Bundle helps you do just that. These small but mighty packs help to save the precious terps in your strains by providing moisture, no water required. In addition to 10 Boveda packs, this bundle comes with a coveted CVault container, smell-proof and airtight, that holds up to 1/2 oz.
The Festivus Marijuana Gift Guide
We consider our Festivus more enjoyable than the Costanza family's, though if you want to air anything, better out than in! We'd recommend using a vape or pre-roll in lieu of the Festivus pole, though, to help soften the blows. Take a look at our fave product drops of 2023.
If you live in a medical state, consider these Festivus cannabis gift suggestions as from you, to you!
