Happy holidays, my friends! The giving season is in full swing, and I’m sure you’re in need of a few ideas to fill out your gift lists. From the canna-connoisseur who’s tried it all to the curious cousin who’s still figuring out their vibe, we’ve got the scoop to stuff your stoner stockings.
The Fat Nugs Team traveled around the country over the past year exploring all the nooks and crannies of the cannabis industry. We’ve put together a list of products we’ve tried and would recommend to our stoner circles. ‘Cause let’s be real, stoners purchase cannabis (and accessories) through word of mouth and personal recommendations from other stoners. Here’s our stoner-approved gift guide.
Fat Nugs Stoner Approved Gift Guide
For the Dabbers: Yo Dabba Dabba Jar Blaster, Picked by Daniel Crawford
This one is perfect for anyone who goes through a lot of concentrates. If you are like me, you probably also have a hard time tossing out your old containers of rosin with the bits you can’t seem to scrape out. Good intentions set aside, sometimes life gets the best of us, and you end up with a drawer full of empties instead of turning the odds and ends into a batch of edibles.
Frugal stoner, meet the Jar Blaster. This rig attachment is made by Yo Dabba Dabba, a leading high-quality dabbing equipment company based in Phoenix, Arizona. Their company is dedicated to beginners, aficionados, and connoisseurs alike.
I ripped a few dabs with their crew at their distribution center, and they sent me flying high with a nice rig and their new Jar Blaster. You could tell by talking and toking, these guys know their stuff. Their tools are built to enhance the experience of consuming concentrates because they wanted the best experience possible.
Worked like a charm! No more empty jars hopelessly waiting for their day to never be recycled. Instead of heating your nail, you heat the quartz jar blaster, which fits seamlessly into your concentrate jar. Blast away, baby!
Yo Dabba Dabba aims to make dabbing an accessible, easy process for everyone, from beginners to the weed veterans. Their goal is to help break the lingering negative stigma surrounding concentrates and make dabbing a more personal, accessible, and exciting experience for everyone. You can check out their Dab University, which is a crash course on dabbing methods, equipment, and techniques, and their other products by visiting their website.
For the Creatives: The Pilgrim Soul Creative Thinking Journal, Picked by Jessica Reilly-Chevalier
One of my favorite cannabis products this year has nothing to do with smoking or concentrates–it’s the Pilgrim Soul Creative Thinking Journal. This combo puzzle/coloring/creative prompt book is specifically designed for stoners seeking to push their creative boundaries and explore non-linear thinking. In fact, the intro to the book asks you to use it while high!
From story prompts to write backstories for people in coffee shops to designing new prescriptions and a million wacky ideas in between, this journal has been my go-to this year when I want to get high and tap into my most creative self–no screens allowed.
Whether you consider yourself a creative person, want to spend more time exploring your creative side, or know an aspiring creative soul, this is the perfect accompaniment to your next smoke sesh. Gift it with a pack of coloring pencils or crayons, and you’ll be the winner of stoner holidays–guaranteed.
For the Ones Who Want to Smoke Less: The Pax Flow, Picked by June Blankin
Gift giving for our flower-loving friends has become easier this year. I highly recommend the PAX Flow!
I’ve used PAX Dry Herb vaporizers for some time now, and the technology gets better and better. The Flow has breathed new life into the design of PAX. The unit has the cover and oven now placed on the side, and it’s just cooler, from a style perspective.
PAX Flow has one of the smoothest and tastiest inhales on the market. With 4 heat settings, one can go from 180-225 degrees, for discreet seshing, to feeling as if you just had a bong rip. I prefer the lowest setting, for the most flavor and minimal vapor.
The Flow is so easy to use, and cleaning of the Flow is awesome. When ready, you can clean the oven, oven screen and the air path from end to end in just a few minutes. As someone who is concerned with lung health, the Flow is the best. Clean, with a choice of heat settings and superior tech, I can still consume flower which has always been my preference.
The PAX Flow comes in 3 colors, and has so many useful accessories, you can create the perfect gift. Their website now has great holiday deals on the Flow, so do yourself a favor and check it out! I bet you get one for yourself and one for a friend.
Happy Holidaze!
For the Classic Stoners: Lowell Farms The Hybrid PreRoll Pack, Picked by Sam Dietz
Lowell Herb Co. as a brand, just gives off good vibes. Founded in SoCal and based now in NY’s Hudson Valley Region, it’s a brand that feels like it can balance the best of both East and West Coast cultures. Their story is on point; their products are high quality; their brand is understated, but impactful. And these little preroll packs just might be the best encapsulation of who they are as a brand yet.
Lowell Smokes Quicks are perfectly sized for get-back-inside-as-fast-as-possible dogwalking sessions, but that’s not why they’re my favorite. The real reason they stand out is their quality. Lowell may have made these mini, but there’s nothing small about the product performance OR the way they make me feel.
The burn? Even. Full. Warm but never hot.
The flavor? Delicious–even when you can’t feel your face.
The high? Juuuuust right.
Functioning after smoking one of these babies isn’t a problem–the Boss Hybrid Blend offers an uplifting but calming high. One joint, whose smoke time is about 4 minutes, gets me just high enough to break the ice, warm me up, and put me back in my happy place.
Each pack comes with 10 mini prerolls, a bunch of matches I never use but definitely appreciate, and an eco-friendly looking, easy-to-open and just-flashy-enough-to-make-it-fun case!
Under “normal” circumstances (when it’s not fucking FREEZING outside!), Lowell Smokes are my favorite anytime preroll–but these aren’t normal circumstances. It *is* fucking freezing outside. And let me tell you, discovering these lil smokes just before the brutal NY/PA winter has been a godsend! Johnny – my sensitive-to-cold, diva dog – definitely agrees! 10/10 HIGH-ly recommended.
For the Sweet Lovers: Incredibles 1000 mg Toffee Boulder Bar, Picked by Erin Cullison
- Overall Taste – 10/10
- Chocolate Flavor – 10/10
- Hiding the “medicinal” taste – 10/10
- Effects – 10/10
Each time that I’ve purchased the Incredibles Boulder Bar, the budtender describes it as being a hybrid product. Personally, it feels more indica-leaning whenever I’ve taken it in the past, which is what I look for if I take hybrid edibles. The chocolate is a smooth mix of milk and dark chocolate with little bits of crunchy toffee and almond bits in every serving; if you have a Colorado medical card the entire bar is 1000mg, with one serving being a 100mg square.
You can find this product on the recreational side at dispensaries in CO, too. With medical products being as potent as they are, I’ll occasionally feel like it’s difficult to hide the taste of the “medicinal” level of cannabis that was infused into the product that you’re consuming (I’m looking at you, gummies)—so it’s really enjoyable how I can’t taste ANY of that when I have a piece of a Boulder Bar. Consistency of effects is very important when choosing edibles and this product has always been consistent for me and is very easy to dose on higher or lower pain-level days. If you really wanted to treat yourself for the holidays, you could crumble a serving of Boulder Bar over some peppermint ice cream (or honestly any ice cream flavor).
For The Ones Who Need a Little Calm: Wana Optimals Quick Calm Gummy, Picked by Bethany Niebaur
Wana Gummies “Quick Calm” in Bliss Berry turned out to be a surprisingly lovely addition to my stress-management toolkit. Each piece delivers 10mg CBG, 10mg CBD, 1mg THC, and 50mg L-Theanine, and the blend creates a gentle, grounded calm. I’m a lightweight when it comes to infused products, so I’m always delighted to find something mellow and manageable without having to make my own micro-dosed treats. I took one before Thanksgiving dinner, and it smoothed my edges just enough to keep me unruffled around people whose worldviews normally stir my inner hornet’s nest. What a pleasant surprise to have a Thanksgiving meal that was actually enjoyable.
As for flying, my personal white-knuckle arena, the gummy didn’t move the needle much. It softens mild nerves, but if you’re a dedicated anxious flyer like me, you may need a higher dose of CBD for real relief. The calm it provides is more of a gentle companion than a full-on co-pilot, so set your expectations accordingly.
