Cannabis-Infused Holiday Gifts For Stress Relief
7 Cannabis-Infused Gifts Your Loved Ones Never Knew They Needed
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Kate Miller and Anna Duckworth are cofounders of Miss Grass.
Way back before hemp-derived CBD was federally legal, let alone ubiquitous, and way before we officially founded Miss Grass, we were already well aware of the health and wellness benefits of cannabis. It was through cannabis that Kate found a lasting preventative treatment for her psoriasis. And weed has helped Anna get through a miscarriage and much, much more.
We get asked a lot about our fave cannabis products, so we're spilling on the products that have helped shape our wellness routines for the better. And when it comes to holiday shopping? These lil' stocking stuffers couldn't come more highly recommended.
Miss Grass Pain + Recovery Kit
We recently curated a bunch of Miss Grass Kits with people's real-life needs in mind, and our Pain + Recovery Kit is probably chief among them in terms of efficacy. As super sporty people (if we do say so ourselves), it has a special place in our hearts. Plus, everything in this cute tote has been tried, tested, and loved by our expert team.
It contains the highly-reputable Apothecanna's Extra Strength Relieving Spray, Dr. Kerklaan's Natural Pain Healing Creme, a Pain Relief Patch from The Good Patch, and a travel-friendly tincture for overall balance by the ever-chic Lily. Consider it your one-stop shop for people with bodies. ;)
Prismatic Plants Good Night Tincture
Not only does this tincture come with 300mg of CBD, it also contains what studies suggest is the most sleep-inducing cannabinoid found in the plant, CBN. Hence the name. This organic wonder drop is full of other adaptogens and herbs too. Think: Reishi, oatstraw, ashwagandha, skullcap, lavender essential oil and more, all intended to boost immunity, decrease muscle tension, and hel you manage stress — as well as helping fight the good fight against insomnia and restless nights. Tell your loved ones we said it'll make the perfect addition to their new year clean sleep resolution.
Papa & Barkley Hemp Capsules
While everyone is different, we've found taking around 30mg of CBD per day is the sweet spot. And Papa & Barkley is a brand we adore. They are true plant lovers, just like us, and use only the best ingredients. This is a chemical-free and solvent-free hemp capsule. Just pop one in with those morning vitamins and go about your day.
By the way, capsules are a really nice alternative to tinctures if you or your loved ones aren't into the whole dropping oil under your tongue thing. Capsules are great because you know exactly how much CBD you're ingesting, so they're a great starting point for CBD newbs. We're thinking your "Omg is this going to get me high?" relative would love them! (And the answer to that is no!)
Wildflower CBD+ Healing Stick
One of the things CBD's best known for is its potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Which is why pain-fighting arnica and wintergreen-rich topicals, like the ones in this balmy healing stick from Wildflower, are such a no-brainer. It's super soothing for both pain and inflammation, so you can rub it on injuries, on your lower abdomen when it's that time of the month — we do it in the office all the time — and even on skin breakouts and sunburns.
We've looked, and we've yet to find another multi-purpose healing stick with this high a concentration of CBD and essential oils quite like this. Everyone should have one of these in their bathroom vanities.
Life Elements CBD Bath Bomb
Speaking of bathrooms, we can't think of a better way to show your loved ones that you value their alone time and need for self-care than by getting them a CBD-rich bath bomb. The CBD will change their bath time game, we guarantee it.
These little guys come in strengths ranging from 50mg to 200mg and they're at once skin softening, tingling to the bod, and tension-dissolving — not to mention they smell freaking delicious. Which makes sense when you realise they contain everything from oatmeal to honey to olive oil to eucalyptus to ylang ylang . . . you get the drift.
Life Elements CBD Bath Bomb ($14-$20)
Beboe Calming Blend Vape Pen
This CBD vape pen contains only pure hemp extract and natural terpenes. That means it won't get you high and contains no harmful non-ingestible-when-burned ingredients like you see on the news. With its gentle citrus taste and gorgeous packageing, it's easy to understand why Beboe is called "the Hermes of vape pens."
Consider this your all-around go to for balancing out the endocannabinoid system (a.k.a the system in our body that helps us effectively manage homeostasis, or overall balance) and staying cool, calm, and collected. In other words, it can help with stress, pain, and inflammation without any of the funny business.
Foria Basics Suppositories
Nobody wants a period slowing them down, especially when there's a fitness regimen, social calendar, business to run, (the list goes on . . .) to stay on top of. But cramps cannot be stopped. Fortunately, they can be managed — and these CBD-infused suppositories from Foria can help dull period pain by providing some local muscular relaxation and inflammation relief.
Because sometimes, there's really no substitute with blasting a specific area of the body, right at the source. And with 100mg of CBD per dose, Foria's a life-saver. Trust us. Your friends will seriously thank you. They might even lend you one.
