Choosing the perfect birthday gift can be challenging. However, when it comes to your cannabis-loving friend, there are many options to choose from. Fun and practical gifts are everywhere. You can go with some personalised gifts, something useful like a bong or a smoke filter, or something fun like a unique lighter or ashtray.
Air Filter
If your friend is an avid smoker, they probably need something to keep the smell away from their house. No one wants to sit inside a stinky home. Luckily, there’s a solution to this problem. For their next birthday, you can choose from the wide variety of smoke air filters as the small and portable devices they are, created for eliminating odour and smoke.
They’re very convenient and very discreet. This is a device that’s suitable for home, office, in the car or even in public spaces. No one will smell the second-hand smoke from the cannabis. These filters use a combination of several chemical and physical processes to clear the smoke. The first one is the filtration technology where there’s a multi-stage filtration system.
It’s used to remove and capture odour molecules and smoke particles. It takes care of the larger pieces and makes the smoke less visible. The second step is absorption. This is a process where the activated carbon inside the filter catches the VOCs and odour molecules from smoke. The final step is a chemical reaction where the molecules get altered in terms of smell. The strange cannabis smell is eliminated from the air.
When it comes to looks, you have plenty of choices. The smoke filters come in many designs, colours and shapes. Some are fun and colourful, and some are more discreet and in more neutral colours. Choosing the colour and design mainly depends on your friend’s personal preference. You can buy one that matches the rest of their smoking gear and make everything cohesive.
It’s good to know that these smoke air filters aren’t going to last forever. They come in several sizes. The small ones are usually made for around 150 uses. After this, the filter will lose its effectiveness. The medium one will last for about 300 uses, and the large one for around 600. This mainly depends on the manufacturer. Once the filter has decreased in efficiency, they can either change the filter or buy a completely new device.
Grinder
A weed grinder or an herb grinder is a very useful tool your friend uses all the time. It’s a small device that grinds cannabis into smaller, more manageable pieces. It makes the whole preparation process easier and more efficient. There are тњо types of grinders: electric and manual. The electric one needs a battery or an electric power source.
It’s faster and easy to operate but it can be less portable if it needs an electrical output. The manual ones are less expensive, are more portable and need manual labour to grind the cannabis. Both are a good option, they do the job right. Grinders come in three material choices: aluminium, plastic, and stainless steel.
Stainless steel is durable, and wear and tear-resistant but it’s also more expensive. The plastic ones are the least expensive and less durable but you have more design options. Aluminium grinders are very affordable, but after a while they’re prone to wear and tear. Out of the three, stainless steel would be the best option.
When it comes to size, there are a few things to consider: portability, capacity, and ease of use. A smaller grinder is easily portable and practical on the go. It holds smaller amounts of cannabis but it’s easy to use. A larger one will be harder to carry around but will fit more cannabis to grind. To make sure you’re choosing the best for your friend, buy from a reliable supplier with a lot of satisfied customers. To make the gift even better, match the grinder with some smoke air filters and make a nice little package.
Stash Case
The stash case is an important part of the whole gear. Its goal is to store the cannabis safely. It should protect it from the outside factors and keep it fresh. Depending on how much your friend smokes, there are stash boxes of different sizes. If they’re an avid smoker, you might want to get a bigger one. They can even keep their smoke filter inside.
Material-wise, plastic boxes are affordable, and lightweight but won’t last as long. Metal boxes are great if the place where they live is humid. It’s a material that can keep the humidity away, plus it’s sturdy and can stand up to a lot of wear and tear. Wooden boxes are very aesthetic. They have a natural look that can fit into every setting.
There are boxes with safety features as well. They’re more discreet, and no one else besides your friend can see what’s inside. They also minimise odour and make the house safer, especially if they have kids and noisy pets. A box with a locking mechanism or a tight-fitting lid will be perfect. A big bonus is if the box has several compartments. This will make it more organised.
Bong
Buying your friend a bong can be intimidating; after all, this is a personal thing that not everyone can get right. However, if you know your friend well enough, you’ll nail it. The first thing to decide on is the materials. Glass is a very common choice because it’s very versatile and will give the best, cleanest taste.
Acrylic is also a good choice because it’s very durable, almost indestructible. Ceramic bongs are more breakable but they’re very pretty. Silicone is also an option. A lot of people prefer it because it’s bendable, won’t break, but it’s harder to clean. Size is also important. Smaller bongs will be practical and easy to carry around, medium ones are good for home usage and for on-the-go. And large ones can fit more cannabis but they’re mainly for home use.
Fun Ashtray & Lighter
If your friend already has everything we’ve mentioned above, you can always surprise them with a fun ashtray or a cool lighter. There are plenty of options you can choose from. A sleek, futuristic lighter will look very cool. Zippo always has some themed ones with fun designs. You can even get them a personalised ashtray or a lighter. A nice engraving of a quote, a symbol, or a name can be a special gift your friend will enjoy.
