With the Thanksgiving holiday dominating many of the happenings this week, we imagine some want options outside of food, football, and family time, great as those things are. For cannabis fans, this time is also “Danksgiving” and we’ve got a nice gift guide that can help with your shopping needs as we head into the gift-giving seasons.
Cannabis figures prominently in my life more than ever, and I’m learning more about its uses beyond feeling good. These days, my approach to cannabis is about its vast therapeutic benefits and not necessarily rolling up and getting baked. Again, while the flower fans out there can and should enjoy that delivery method for their cannabis, there are other ways to experience the plant product.
Of the brands listed below, I’ve tried out a significant portion and I will be clear on the brands or products I don’t know about. Naturally, some products are not widely available along the East Coast where I reside but I do travel quite a bit and always make it a point to check out legal dispensaries in other states.
In doing these gift guide roundups, I’ve found brands that I’d mention with high praise even if they weren’t connected to the gig. Seriously, folks, these brands are leading a brand new charge in the cannabis space.
Check out our Danksgiving cannabis gift guide below and be sure to check some of the brands for Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales.
If we missed your brand or want to be considered in the future, please email D.L. Chandler at dchandler@bhmdigital.com.

As cannabis brands recognize not everyone is a smoker, dabber, or into edibles, infused drinks are a rising category. BRĒZ is adding to the segment with its micro-dosed cannabis and mushroom drinks. There is also a cannabis-free option using a mood-boosting mushroom blend.

I featured Hometown Hero in our last roundup and I’ve had the honor of trying out their live rosin Delta-9 gummies and other treats. One, the doses are manageable and true to strain. Two, they offer so many products and I’ve good reason to believe the quality extends throughout the brand’s entire production line.
7. Housing Works Cannabis Co

As a fairly new member of the Vape Gang, vaporizer technology remains fascinating to me, especially for dry herb use. Planet Of The Vapes carries a fantastic amount of products and we’re strongly going to suggest the Lobo that the company has in its inventory.
13. Puffco

Puffco is hard to explain to the layperson but for those who are deep in these dabbing streets, they know that the brand’s Peak Pro is one of the best devices of its kind. If you want to take the dab experience on the go, check out their Pivot product. Quite frankly, everything they do is fantastic so dive into their sale over the weekend.

14. RISE

RISE is one of the largest cannabis dispensaries in the nation, with locations across 14 states. Just in time for the holidays, the company is releasing its RISE Dispensary Cannabis Advent Calendar on December 5 with 12 handy prerolls. But they’re also one of the better dispensaries I’ve visited so I recommend a visit to anyone curious.

15. Sauce Essentials

Sauce Essentials is brand new to me but what I’m digging is the fact you can verify your products on the brand’s website to make sure you’re not ingesting some bunk. Available in eight states currently with plans to expand, Sauce Essentials has vape carts with classic cannabis strains like Pineapple Express or White Widow.

16. STIIIZY

STIIIZY is a brand I’m not always able to indulge in as I live far away from where it’s readily available, but I can vouch for the quality of its offerings. The company offers an updated battery made especially for STIIIZY’s proprietary pod system and has a sitewide sale going on now.
17. Stündenglass

Old heads, the gravity bong lives on, thanks to Stündenglass. This is definitely for the experienced cannabis enthusiast and the device will spark lovely conversations and sessions for sure.

20. Vessel

I could actually recommend nearly any device that Vessel produces but I’m now learning about the brand’s Element device. I haven’t tried this one yet as this is a brand-new take on the water pipe concept designed for dry herb/flower. Hot damn isn’t it beautiful?

21. Wana

Wana produces edibles and infused drinks, although I’ve only had the former in my travels. What I enjoy about the brand is that there isn’t just one kind of gummy. The offerings differ in potency and effect.
