Whether you're playing Canna Clause or Secret Santa — and in a bind seeking that perfect canna gift to hide under the tree, stuff in a stocking, or tuck inside a holiday card — Phoenix New Times is here to help with gift ideas in a variety of price ranges to help you navigate the holiday rush and elevate your festivities.
Jeeter's WC22
The celebrations continue even as the FIFA World Cup winds down the week before Christmas. Kick off the holidays and roll up with a Jeeter's WC22 soccer ball. Jeeter has produced a limited line of gift set boxes shaped like soccer balls and filled with six individually packaged Jeeter pre-rolls tucked inside a grasslike platform. The gift boxes cost $90 at Mint Cannabis.Mary Jane SmokeWear Beanie Caps
As temperatures drop in the Valley, keep your cannabuds and family members warm with beanie caps from Mary Jane SmokeWear, a Best of Phoenix winner. The local clothing line, which makes cannabis plant design-emblazoned hoodies, tees, accessories, and merch, is sold at pop-ups in the Valley and on their website. The beanies are $20 to $30 each.Weed Magazines
Cannabis magazines — Cannabis Now, Weed World and Maximum Yield Cannabis, to name a few — make excellent gifts for that particular person. Not only do they provide super informative content, including tutorials on how to grow your garden or features about how Ziggy Marley's son, Juju Marley, is navigating the 2023 canna universe, but art-packed publications also make fantastic stocking stuffers when rolled up. Barnes & Noble carries a variety of cannabis-related magazines, which sell for $7.99-$11.99. You can also subscribe to Phoenix-based and Best of Phoenix winner Cannabis Cactus for free.Custom Glass Rigs
Handmade and handblown glass rigs are the high notes of this list. The rigs are made by local glass artisans such as Hendy Glass, Desi B., Porter Glass, Jake B (Friday Glass), and H.P. Loveglass. Check out the Supa Joint ($5,500) and intergalactic-alien-inspired rigs ($6,500), and a collection of other ornate dab rigs, at Bud's Glass Joint, another Best of Phoenix winner. Hendy glass items are 50 percent off in December at both Bud's locations, which are in the Roosevelt Row and Grand Avenue art districts.Dr. Dre and Bob Marley Records and CDs
If you're stuck in Walmart during the holiday frenzy, you can find plenty of canna-friendly gifts here besides lighters. The big box store sells iconic vinyl records and CDs that are perfect for the cannabis lifestyle. For example, Dr. Dre's classic, The Chronic, is available in record and CD formats in the music section. If your loved one isn't down with hip-hop, Bob Marley's classics are another option. The vinyl records sell for about $47.99, and CDs go for about $15. Looking for other vinyl to smoke with? We've got suggestions for that, too.Dr. Greenthumb Funko Dolls
Cannabis-related toys are nostalgic and draw people back to the joy of opening gifts on Christmas morning. Thanks to Funko, that toy vibe is back for adulting folks in 2022-2023. The company released figures resembling iconic rappers who have been down with the cannabis movement and rapped about the marijuana plant since the 90s. OG-cannabis rapper B-Real from Cypress Hill has his own toy called Dr. Greenthumb, a reference to the song "Greenthumb" that the band released in 1998 and the dispensaries B-Real founded in Cali."Arizona is one of the places where we want to plant the Greenthumb flag in," B-Real said in a recent New Times interview at his San Diego dispensary. If you can't make it out to California, his toy dolls with a plant in hand sell for $10 at Collectors Marketplace in Phoenix.
