Best Cannabis Mother’s Day Gifts
The eleventh of May is just around the corner — and if you are left scratching your head on how to guarantee a Happy Mother’s Day, weed lover, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered!
First established as a national holiday in 1914, Mother’s Day clocks in as the number one busiest day of the year for restaurants, beating out even Valentine’s Day! Always observed on the second Sunday in May, Americans exchange about 113 million Mother’s Day cards per year making it the third-largest card-sending holiday — and it is the second most popular day for gift-giving goes, surpassed only by Christmas.
While people’s feelings about the holiday can be complicated — due to loss or estrangement or even just media hype and societal expectations — if you are lucky enough to have a mom who you truly want to celebrate, then more power to you! And if it so happens that you both share a love for cannabis, consider yourself doubly blessed! If you’re looking for ideas and gifts for stoner moms, here are some of our favorites for a little inspiration!
Flower for Mother’s Day
It is reported that about one-third of Americans will be purchasing plants or floral arrangements for mom this Mother’s Day — but if your parental unit is one who smokes pot, consider gifting her a totally different kind of flower! When it comes to stoner mom gifts, you can never go wrong with some beautiful buds.
If you’re taking the route of cannabis flower, just remember to be minfdul of Mama’s tolerance levels. While many mamas can be hardcore enough to smoke you under the table, many of today’s self described “cannamoms” are not looking to get ripped — but rather experience a nice buzz that allows them to function while taking off the pressure. In those cases, it’s key to look for “Mommy Weed” – which are strains that not only have lower THC levels but may also be combined with higher than usual CBD levels for balance.
With this in mind, the craft grown Pennywise strain from The Pairest is an excellent choice, as is the three-time award-winning cultivar Strawberry G from Sunrise Mountain — both fantastic options when it comes to Mother’s Day cannabis.
Mother’s Day Cannabis Treats
With chocolate and candy sales hitting a record $49 billion in 2023, many mamas may be wishing for an assorted box from See’s Candies this year — but we both know when it comes to gifts for stoner moms, you want to get something equally as delicious but with a bit more kick.
How about some happy Mother’s Day weed peanut butter cups from Emerald Sky? Available in indica, sativa and hybrid varieties, as well as one that’s combined with CBD, these will keep your mom’s taste buds dancing and her whole body happy.
You also can’t go wrong with some yummy infused Whopper-style maltballs. And Drops has a whole line of strain-specific jellies, with CBD to THC ratios ranging from 1:1 all the way to 4:1, in a wide range of delicious fruit flavors that any cool mommy is guaranteed to love.
Give Mom the Gift of Self-Care
According to a very unofficial poll on Instagram, do you know the number one thing moms wish they could get on Mother’s Day? Sleep, obviously. But second to that? Pampering! A day full of self-care at a fancy spa makes an excellent gift. But if that is a bit cost-prohibitive, why not create a Mother’s Day cannabis at-home option?
When it comes to perfect stoner mom gifts, how about a candle that gives off the aroma of her favorite plant? Or one that emits the scent of wintergreen while removing any cannabis smells so no one is the wiser? You can set the scene by lighting some candles, maybe some incense, playing some relaxing music, and drawing mom a bath where she can enjoy these lavender epsom salts or a bath bomb by OM.
Maybe follow that with a nice shoulder rub and some relaxation and pain-relief courtesy of Proof and their Ice Hot Balm, or any of the number of THC or CBD balm options from Papa & Barkley. If physical touch is your mom’s love language, this is definitely the way to show her how much you care.
Plant Gifts for Stoner Moms
Botany as a hobby saw a big increase during the pandemic, and current numbers indicate that more than half of American households now actively garden. If your mom has a green thumb, why not lean into a cannabis Mother’s Day by gifting your mama with the ability to grow some smoke of her own?
While a number of award-winning strains can be cultivated from seed, you can cut down on some of that work — and significantly decrease the amount of time to imbibe — by gifting your pot-loving mama with an already started cannabis plant from Hidden Valley Genetics. Combine with a cute little tee or sweatshirt, and you’re well on your way to being named as mom’s favorite.
Remember: It’s Not About the Gift
It’s the thought that counts. That said, maybe this is the year you finally make up for being a difficult teenager by showing your marijuana mommy just how much you appreciate her. Stay tuned for some Mother’s Day dispensary deals and other great cannabis accoutrement. Get her something she’ll really love. Don’t forget the card — and the preroll to go in it!
