It’s a classic scenario. You find yourself within days (or hours) of seeing a special stoner someone and you forgot to get a gift. Lucky for you, we’ve got the last-minute weed gift ideas that show the weed lover in your life just how much you care.

1. Create a DIY cleaning kit

Where there is flower or concentrate, there is ash or resin to follow. If there is someone in your life that enjoys cannabis in one of these formats, you can make a DIY cleaning kit for them that will 100% come in handy.

For this last-minute weed gift idea, recycle a box or basket and fill it with these common items that you can find in your local drugstore.

To create the DIY cleaning kit you’ll need:

• Cotton swabs
• Quart or gallon-sized disposable bags or reusable, sealable bags for soaking
• Isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher)
• Vinegar
• Disposable gloves (make sure your friend doesn’t have allergies to latex!)
• Pipe cleaners
• A small, sanitized glass container (try a recycled 3.5g or 7g flower jar)
• Coarse salt

For sustainable and chemically-conscious stoners, leave out the disposables and choose vinegar and salt over iso. You can also place the kit items in a bowl or container large enough for your loved one to soak their beloved glass right inside.

2. Their favorite weed products

Hear me out. If you know somebody loves weed, get them some weed. Receiving gifts is one of the love languages for a reason, and you don’t have to be shy about knowing what your loved one likes.

Do you know their favorite strain? Get it for them. Or start your loved one on their path exploring our top 100 marijuana strains and gift them strains from the list all year round.

Bonus points if you learn how to roll a joint and pre-roll some j’s with love.

Even if your final gift looks like a strong contender for Nailed It, it’s the thought (and the infusion) that counts.

4. Delight their sense of smell with incense and candles

Many people who consume cannabis find candles and incense both functional and desirable as gifts.

From terp-chasers (aka undercover aromatherapy nerds) to dank-lovers who don’t realize when their apartment is louder than their music, there is a significant chance the toker in your life would like something that smells nice and gives them something else to do with all those lighters.

Head to your local smoke shop for incense or check Facebook for local businesses in your area that you can patronize the same day. You can also find these last-minute gifts at home decor stores near you.

5. But seriously, try the head shop.

Have you ever been to your local head shop?  The odds of you finding glass pieces and other accessories that support ~the lifestyle~ are incredibly high. These highly-individualized businesses could be the last-minute weed gift haven you’ve been looking for all along.

Just be cool when you’re shopping and refrain from using cannabis-specific terminology within the store. It’s important that everyone abides by state law in these spaces for the safety of the business and consumers. These businesses are not dispensaries.

6. Download and print a coloring book

Eeek! It’s getting down to the nitty-gritty and you don’t know what to give the fun-loving, creative cannabis consumer in your life. What if you fire up your printer and download a digital coloring book as a last-minute gift?

A personalized coloring book is a playful way to acknowledge your friend or family member’s love of art, and it gives them a fun activity to do while they are elevated. Purchase and print the pages that remind you of them – and don’t forget the colored pencils!

Bonus last minute idea for artsy weed loving types: DIY puff and paint

Head to the art store and gather supplies for a DIY puff and paint night. You’ll need paint, canvases, drop clothes, and a formal request for quality time with the special someone to pull it off.
