Toast to the college grad with Aylroom beverages, the perfect gift to celebrate their success without the hangover.

Lobo Presidente Gelato Infused Blunt

Price: $40 

The Lobo Presidente Gelato Infused Blunt elevates consumption in the very best of ways. Wrapped in hemp paper and finished with a glass tip, this infused “blunt” fits graduation’s celebratory mood by bringing something a little extra to an ordinary pre-roll. It’s infused with kief for an extra kick, so be wary of giving this preroll to an inexperienced smoker.

We love a subtle reference. Plant-loving grads of all kinds will love drinking their morning (or afternoon, or evening) coffee from a ceramic mug dotted with potted plant illustrations from across the flora kingdom. Get yours from our neighbors at Fishs Eddy.

Give your grad the gift of an extra AM boost. A French press makes a perfect companion for the Plant Person mug.

A few drops of Ayrloom Beverage Enhancer in their Java is a nice boost, too.

An eighth from Flowerhouse

An eighth of Mimosa flower from Flowerhouse is just right for grads who prefer to light up than drink up to celebrate.
