Gift guide: 8 low budget cannabis gifts for 2020
Each year you come into these holiday gift guides hoping for something cheap — but considerate — to give your favorite stoners. You know your pockets are out-of-office for that new bong or dab rig they’ve been craving, but you could still foot the bill for something random, clever, and useful.
The good news is that there’s such a wide variety of cannabis products and accessories available these days, it’s really easy to find something budget-friendly that the average smoker doesn’t already own.
For 2020, here are some gifts that all cost less than $100, and will delight any cannabis enthusiast that receives them.
Raw Catcher
RAW runs the game when it comes to rolling papers and random smoking accessories. Recently, they dropped a new product: the Raw Catcher — and it’s an excellent gag gift.
RAW Catcher is a device that allows a completely hands-free session. As you smoke a joint, ash falls into the catcher, and it’ll enable anyone who’s writing, making art, playing video games, or anything else that occupies your hands, to do so while still getting stoney baloney. As goofy as it looks and feels, it’s a really funny gadget that’ll actually come in handy for people that like to smoke while creating but hate those little moments of breaking concentration to find the ashtray.
Raw can’t sell their own products directly to cannabis consumers, so unfortunately, you’ll probably have to buy from Amazon. They also have a list of other third party sellers on their website, if you want to avoid that.
Price: $8 on Amazon
Kush Candles
Kush CandlesIf you smoke weed, every room in your house probably smells like it — that’s why you need to gift someone a Kush Candle. Kush Candles is from Loveland, California where they produce 100% pure soy wax candles containing hemp seed oil and cannabis terpenes that mimic specific strains.
They have Blue Dream, White Widow, and OG Kush candles, among many other strains. Choose your buddy’s favorite and prove once and for all that the best way to get rid of weed smell is with more weed smell.
Price: $17 on Kush Candles website
Poke-A-Bowl Ashtray
The Poke-A-Bowl is another simple accessory that changes the game for anyone out there smoking bongs.
It has a vertical poker in the center of it that allows you to clean your bowl quickly, and the ashtray is so deep in volume that you could go months without emptying it. Just close the top and forget about it, like we stoners do.
Price: $20 on Amazon
Clear Phuncky Feel Tips
PhunckyAy man, B-Real’s Phuncky Feel Tips are amazing. They’re a product that Cypress Hill’s B-Real said he refuses to smoke without.
Phuncky Feel Tips are a brand of glass rolling tips that make a world of difference when you’re smoking joints — blunts too. By filtering the smoke past a couple perculators, they create a smoother and tastier smoking experience. They come three to a pack, and you can get them in a variety of colors. The least expensive are the basic clear Phuncky Feel Tips, and they’ll be a perfect gift for any of your friends that keep ripping up old business cards for joint crutches.
Price: $18—$20 on Phuncky Feel Tips
Formula 420 Glass Cleaner + Soak ‘n Rinse
There’s nothing worse than being passed a bong and the freshly-packed bowl already tastes like char, resin, and resentment. Unfortunately, many smokers go quite a while without cleaning their glass. This holiday season, wouldn’t you like to be the change you want to see in the world? If so, then cop your weedy friends and family Formula’s 420’s Glass Cleaner AND Soak ‘n Rinse. They’ll clean any glass, metal, or ceramics within minutes.
Trust me, people who smoke pipes, bongs, one-hitters, chillums, etc., or simply have extremely caked grinders that won’t ever spin, will definitely appreciate these in their stocking.
Price: $27 total: $13 for Glass Cleaner, $14 for Soak ‘n Rinse on Love Your Glass
Zeus Bolt 2 Grinder
ZeusIt truly would not be a gift guide if we didn’t talk about grinders, so here’s my personal favorite: the Zeus Bolt 2. It has a sleek black color, and the top portion is large enough to grab, and spin, without pinching and irritating the sides of your fingers.
On top of that, the real reason it’s here is because the Zeus grinder catches kief like an absolute champion. If you’re feeling extra generous, you could also go with the larger, and not much more experience, Zeus Bolt XL.
Price: $25 on Zeus Website
ACLU End The War On Drugs Rolling Tray
ACLUMuch like a grinder, we can’t talk cannabis gifts, and not talk rolling trays. This year, give the gift of keeping smokers honest about the reality of marijuana in America.
The War on Drugs, the War on Black and Brown communities, is still very much alive, despite watching numerous states legalize cannabis, and the numbers of people imprisoned for nonviolent cannabis arrest has only grown. Spread holiday cheer — and the word — by gifting one of the ACLU’s End The War on Drugs rolling trays.
Price: $28 on ACLU’s website
Moose Labs MouthPiece Gift Box
Moose Labs MouthPieces go on the top of bongs and on the tips of joints to make sharing weed as sanitary as possible. They’re an excellent budget-friendly, and especially topical, gift in the time of a global pandemic, where exchanging germs is an absolute no-go.
If you want to keep it simple, the MouthPiece for bongs, or the MouthPiece Mini for joints, only cost $10 separately. But if you’re feeling in the holiday gift-giving spirit, they have a $65 gift box that includes:
- MouthPeace Original +1 filter roll
- MouthPeace Mini +1 filter box
- Smell-proof carry bag
- 1 Pack MouthPeace Perfectly Sized Pre-Rolls (6)

For only $10, you can spark change for cannabis.

7 strains that taste like berries
When it comes to smoking weed, taste is the most important part of the experience. If your flower tastes like trash, or your dabs just taste like air, you won’t even care about how the effects hit. Luckily, many different cannabis strains produce many different flavors, so there’s always a right answer for you out there somewhere.
One of the many flavors that consumers enjoy is berry. There’s a variety of strains with terpenes that smell and taste like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and so on. As always, it’s important to remember that weed makes everyone feel differently. These suggestions are based on personal experience, in conjunction with the most commonly reported data.
If you want to check out berry weed strains, here are a few usual suspects and their various highs.
Blueberry
Fresh out the gate, when you’re talking weed that tastes like berries, you’ve got to name the old school classic Blueberry first. It was bred by DJ Short, so sometimes you’ll see it labeled as DJ Short’s Blueberry. The flower usually has an earthy, sweet berry smell reminiscent of a walk through the local Farmer’s Market.
Most of the time, smoking Blueberry leaves people feelings stoned, sleepy, and couch-locked. It’s one of those strains that you smell and immediately know it’s about to send you to sleep. In addition to its well-known effects, DJ Short’s Blueberry is also one of the parent strains of the legendary Blue Dream.
Goji OG
Goji berries taste sort of like sour cranberries and Goji OG is a cannabis strain that smells and tastes much the same. It was bred by crossing Snow Lotus and Nepal OG, the results are a sweet-tasting strain with potent effects, which are strong, but still manageable for the average consumer.
It tends to leave most people feeling happy and relaxed. Personally, smoking Goji OG has made me feel dumb stoned and spaced out, so I often skip over it because I like to smoke and be productive.
Berry White
Another strain coming from Blueberry lineage is Berry White. It’s an indica-dominant cross of Blueberry and White Widow whose flowers are absolutely coated in trichomes. It has a sweet and earthy taste of blueberries with a slightly spicy bite, and the effects often make people feel super high and sleepy.
With its potently relaxing effects, it’s best to try this one after the day is over. Consuming Berry White during the day will probably leave your mind feeling too cloudy to get any real tasks done.
Strawberry Cough
Strawberry Cough is one of my all-time favorite strains. The smell is always consistent, the taste is super satisfying, and the effects are perfect for when I need to get my day started off right.
Strawberry Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid created from Haze and Strawberry Fields. The cross produces a densely-packed flower that is known for producing uplifting, calming effects that end in a clear-headed euphoria. In other words, if you’re looking for a fruity strain that will put you in a good mood, this is the one to try.
Blackberry
By now, you may have seen that relaxed and sleepy are often-reported effects when it comes to weed strains that taste like berries. At the top of that sleepy totem should be Blackberry, the only strain that’s guaranteed to put me down within a couple of tokes. Seriously, it’s so potent that if you don’t consume on a consistent basis, you might want to skip this one. It’ll have novice consumers feeling all tingly, and possibly anxious.
Blackberry, also called Blackberry Kush, is a mysterious strain with unconfirmed genetics. Many breeders say it comes from a mix of Afghani, Mexican, and Vietnamese landraces. The flower is super dark in coloring, almost appearing black, and the smoke’s flavor has an earthy, dank taste of blackberries and funk.
Most consumers report feeling happy, relaxed, and hungry after smoking this strain.
Runtz
Runtz OG is a strain that came from the Cookies camp, so people are always asking, “Man, is it even really fire?” The answer is yes, without a doubt. It looks good, tastes good, and the effects hit your mind and body with a long-lasting relaxation that’ll leave you saying that Runtz is some straight gas.
Runtz came from crossing two crowd-favorites, Zkittlez and Gelato #33. It’s a deep purple flower with dense nugs and a thick coat of trichomes. Crack the bag and your nose will be hit with a mix of sweet berry and gassy dank flavors that translate directly to the smoke flavor.
Most consumers report feeling relaxed and couch-locked after consuming this strain. If you find that you like Runtz OG, you might like the other popular phenotypes: White Runtz and Pink Runtz.
Marionberry Kush
Rounding out this list is Subcool’s Marionberry Kush. The legendary breeder (RIP) created this strain by crossing Raspberry Kush and Space Queen. The result produces a flower with a complex mix of earthy, funky, sour, and fruity flavors.
The high can be potent, considering Marionberry Kush usually has a high THC percentage, however it is manageable for people who want to smoke something strong, but not feel too sleepy — it can put you to sleep when consumed in high doses, but chances are you’ll just feel calm and happy.
