Even in 2016, with more than half our country living in some form of legalized bliss, some people aren’t out of the weed closet with their loved ones. Be it fear of shameful persecution at the dinner table from Mom or giving your fragile Grandma the last scare she needs, sometimes it is just easier to smoke quietly and out of sight. As cannabis technology advances, an ever-evolving range of products hit the market to make it easier than ever before to enjoy your marijuana discreetly. Because many people still fear judgment from the stigma of smoking marijuana, the demand for products that let you enjoy your cannabis in peace has gone through the roof. We’ve compiled this gift guide so that you and the rest of the smokers in your family can still get lit like the Christmas tree (or Menorah) without starting the big annual fight at the reunion.
Leaf grow box
This mini fridge doppelganger is one of the hottest items in the marijuana grow industry today, and deservedly so. The Leaf Plug-n-Plant grow box is a state of the art automated cultivation system for the connoisseurs who simply aren’t home frequently enough to grow cannabis the right way. Simply hook the Leaf up to power and a water supply, plant the seed, and watch it work. The grower controls light, nutrients, water distribution, and more from the palm of their hand thanks to the Leaf smartphone app. Now everyone can grow a top shelf plant at the touch of a button, and the Leaf looks like your average large home appliance so it won’t raise as much suspicion as a traditional home grow setup.
White Rabbit spray
White Rabbit has revolutionized the after-dinner mint with their THC-infused peppermint breath spray. Equally potent and minty fresh, the peppermint oil-based spray is all natural and infused with 100% solvent-free THC oil. Your Secret Santa partner will forget all about what the gift implies once they realize how they feel after just a few good sprays.
Legion of Bloom Terrapen THC/CBD 1:1 cartridge
Between inevitable nausea after a Christmas Eve feast and the typical holiday headaches of getting the whole family together, it’s best to work a little CBD into your routine. Legion of Bloom has just what you need, and it comes in a perfectly portable disposable cartridge that you can hit in Grandma’s bathroom without anyone noticing. Legion of Bloom’s award-winning line of CBD/THC cartridges are expertly crafted with distinct therapeutic terpenes that quell even the most persistent chronic pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, and more. While you’re at it, pick one up for Grandma, too.
Cannabutter
The original method of consuming cannabis without being detected, edibles have become a way of life for many. Over the holidays, there are plates of cookies and other assorted treats everywhere, so whip up some cannabutter and bake some extra special holiday goodies for the weed crowd at the party — but keep them away from the kids table and your Aunt that always snitches.
KandyPens Mini
Don’t let the short stature of the KandyPens Mini fool you — this is a powerful machine. With top-of-its-class battery life and two state-of-the-art chamber options — coilless ceramic and dual quartz coil — the Mini is the perfect gift for a concentrate enthusiast on-the-go.

Eureka Girl Scout Cookies cartridge
True connoisseurs want their concentrate to taste like the source flower — not raspberry cheesecake. Eureka Vapors gets it, and they’ve maintained that distinct strain essence in their Girl Scout Cookies cartridge. With no harmful solvents or additives, rest assured that the recipient of your gift will be vaping some of the highest quality portable concentrate on the market today. Did we mention that the Eureka GSC is very effective? Spoiler alert, Santa might have some competition for those cookies.
Smoke Buddy
If vaping isn’t an option and you must smoke flower, but the smell will be a dead giveaway, try a Smoke Buddy. These have been around forever in head shops everywhere, but they work and they’re easy to use. For any dorm-dwelling college students on your list, one of these will keep them from being written up (trust someone who knows).
Fake branded stash cans/secret pipes
Another head shop staple, these deceptive fake stash cans and pipes are a great gag gift that the recipient will absolutely put to good use. These make the perfect Secret Santa gifts because they’re normally under $10 and they’re not a Subway gift card. Whether you get a fake tub of Nutella to hold your flower in or a fake lipstick applicator that’s actually a bowl to hit at your next concert, the possibilities are endless.
Mary’s Medicinal Patches
You’ve probably seen someone wear a transdermal patch on their arm in an attempt to quit smoking cigarettes, but the technology works for other applications as well. By applying a THC or CBD patch to your skin, you can accurately manage your dosing and avoid any of the odors or side effects that come with smoking or eating edibles. If someone on your list travels a lot and is always looking for new ways to sneak a smoke, Mary’s award-winning patches are a great gift this holiday season.
Ghost Packs
When getting from point A to point B, sometimes you find yourself in an area where the smell of cannabis is not so welcome. For those times, it can be tough to hide your stash in a way that won’t alert the most sensitive and suspicious bystanders. Now, with Ghost Packs, you can put all your flower, concentrates, accessories and glassware in your backpack without worrying who will get a whiff. Ghost Packs use a carbon lining that traps the odor before it can ever escape, so you can stop looking over your shoulder as you walk down the street.
