The holidaze are approaching, and that means it’s time to figure out what to get everyone on your list — including the stoner in your life.

With Michigan’s cannabis market teeming with choices at record-low prices, weed gifts are easy, fun, and far more thoughtful than a pair of socks or a generic scented candle. 

The best part is, you don’t need to overthink it or even know that much about cannabis to find a great gift. Whether the stoner in your life loves big, frosty buds or prefers something more discreet or potent, there’s a cannabis gift for every type of smoker. And unlike random knick-knacks or mass-produced seasonal décor, these are presents people truly enjoy and will remember. 

It’s your chance to be the cool Santa this year. 

So what do you get a stoner? Dispensary shelves are filled with weed products, from THC-infused drinks and specialty prerolls to concentrates and self-care products. 

Here are seven holidaze-friendly cannabis gifts that occasional smokers and connoisseurs alike would appreciate:  

Half-ounce jars

Half-ounce jars of quality flower are having a moment. They’re usually packed with big, frosty buds and are wrapped in colorful, creative designs. Priced between $75 and $110, they’ll impress anyone who appreciates good weed. Among the best brands offering half-ounce jars are 517 Premier Cannabis, A1Za, Exotic Matter, Favrd, Fractal, Freshy Fine, Growing Pains, Hytek, Information Entropy, Michigrown, Peninsula Gardens, Tip Top Crop, and Voyage Bloom.   Credit: Steve Neavling

THC beverages

Marijuana has come a long way, and nothing shows that more than cannabis-infused beverages. The flavors range from root beer and strawberry apple to lemon tea and mango pineapple. They hit faster than traditional edibles, and they’re a fun and tastier alternative to alcohol. Some of the most popular choices are Highly Casual, Pleasantea, Armada Cannabis Co., and Mary Jones.  Credit: Courtesy photo

Pre-rolls

If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer or a small gift, pre-rolls won’t disappoint. Michigan’s market has no shortage of options, from one-gram joints to 2-gram infused prerolls. They start for as low as a couple of bucks, with higher quality one-gram prerolls ranging from $6 to $20, and handrolled, rosin-infused joints selling for $68.  For higher-end prerolls, check out Wojo, Ice Kream Hash Co., 710 Labs, Freshy Fine, and LightSky Farms.

Live rosin

No cannabis product captures THC as purely as live rosin, a solventless concentrate known for its potency and flavor. It is one of the fastest-growing products on the recreational market. Live rosin typically comes in one-gram jars or half-gram vapes. Box up a handful of them, and you’ll have a gift that will satisfy any rosin head. Some of the best rosin-makers are Hytek, 710 Labs, Eastside Alchemy, Exotic Matter, Growing Pains, Ice Kream Hash Co., and Wojo.  Credit: Steve Neavling

Vaporizers

Whether you’re ingesting flower or concentrates, vaporizers are a flavorful and smooth way to consume cannabis. E-rigs offer an effective way to vape live resin and rosin, and they generally range in price from $100 to $400. Puffco, Dr. Dabber, and Utilian are popular options. For a dry-herb vape, check out DaVinci IQ3, PAX, TinyMight 2, Arizer Solo 3, and my favorite, the Zeus Arc GT4. Credit: Steve Neavling

Self-care 

Cannabis isn’t just about getting high. THC, CBD, and CBN have medicinal benefits such as pain relief, reduced inflammation, and improved sleep. The cannabinoids are also used in soothing balms, lotions, patches, and bath soaks. The recreational market is loaded with self-care gifts, from tinctures and low-dose edibles to lip balms and facial serums. They’re a thoughtful gift for people looking for alternatives to prescription meds or anyone who just wants to pamper themselves a little. Look no further than the Hive in Hazel Park or Nature’s Remedy in Ferndale, a pair of dispensaries known for medicinal products.   Credit: Steve Neavling

Holiday-themed vaporizers

California-based Rove, which is widely available statewide, specializes in potent concentrates using melted THCA diamonds, which are pure crystalline forms of THC known for intense effects. The company recently debuted Choco Mints, a holiday-inspired blend of rich chocolate and cool peppermint with an uplifting, balanced high. The vapes are so discreet you can take them anywhere, even to midnight mass or your grandma’s house.  Credit: Steve Neavling

At the end of the day, weed gifts are always more fun than the usual holiday junk. No one remembers you giving them a ceramic snowman or novelty mug, but they don’t forget when you show up with some high-quality cannabis. Michigan’s market makes it easy to find a thoughtful gift without spending a fortune or guessing someone’s taste.  

So whether your holiday plans involve stressful family dinners or a gift swap with friends, these presents got you covered. Wrap them up, pass them along, and become the person everyone thanks later.

And from those of us at Metro Times, happy holidaze!
