11 College Graduation Gifts With a Twist

The search is on for the perfect college graduation gift for the smart stoner in our lives. What’s out? Overpriced fountain pens and journals. What’s in? Weed. Our gift picks include everyday items the new grad is sure to use, along with a few cannabis treats they’re sure to appreciate, too.

Aylroom and Weed Water beverages

Price: $5 per can

Toast to the college grad with Aylroom beverages or Weed Water canned drinks, the perfect gift to celebrate their success without the hangover. These cannabis-infused drinks offer a refreshing and fizzy alternative to alcoholic beverages. They’re a delightful, light experience that won’t weigh you (or your new graduate) down after sipping it. Choose from Weed Water flavors like Yuzu Peach Deez or Berry Rntz, or opt for Lemonade, Root Beer, Orange Creamsicle, or Vanilla Cola drinks from Ayrloom.

A fun and functional Edie Parker pipe

Price: $35 – $75

Life after college graduation calls for new accessories. Edie Parker’s collection of functional, sophisticated glass pipes strikes that celebratory mood, with fun options your new graduate is sure to treasure. They can leave the pipe on display and not feel rushed to hide it away when people come over — to the uninitiated, it’ll look like a black and white cookie, a violet raspberry, or a bonbon. Pair this Edie Parker gift with a half-ounce of flower, like Find.’s Garlic Patties, so your grad can put their gift to work right away.

Anthem Blue Raspberry Kush Infused Pre-Rolls

Price: $20 

Anthem’s Blue Raspberry Kush pre-roll elevates consumption in the very best of ways. Finished with a tip comprising glass and sweet wood, this infused pre-roll fits graduation’s celebratory mood by bringing something a little extra. Its 41.09% THC content is sky-high for a pre-roll, so be wary of giving this gift to an inexperienced smoker.

Plant Person mug

Price: $28

We love a subtle reference. Plant-loving grads of all kinds will get a kick out of 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.

Bodum Sustainable French Press

Price: $20

Give your grad the gift of an extra AM boost. A French press makes a perfect companion for the Plant Person mug. This French press is made partially from recycled plastic, and it’s available at Whisk Kitchen Supplies, which is a straight shot from our Downtown Brooklyn location via the B63 bus. It makes just over four cups of coffee, enough for a grad to split with their roommate or tackle solo on those rough mornings. A few drops of Select’s Hint of Sweet Squeeze in their java is a nice boost, too.

An eighth from B Noble

Price: $40 

An eighth of Mimosa Kush Mints flower from B Noble is just right for grads who prefer to light up instead of drinking up to celebrate. Bursting with mint, musk, and tropical citrus notes, this cultivar offers a delicious smoking experience and some levity and uplift. It may help the grad in your life start their next chapter on the right foot.

New Yorker subscription

Price: $78 for print and digital access

Keep a new grad informed all year. A subscription to The New Yorker is the right companion for intellectually curious graduates. Unlock a world of stories, podcasts, and original videos that cover the city, the U.S., and the world. And with the added bonus of a free tote bag, graduates can shlep their essentials while showcasing their appreciation for quality journalism and thought-provoking commentary.

Push pin map

Price: Starting at $80

Wanderlust and new horizons are taken quite literally with a push-pin map. This interactive map lets grads chart their next journey in a way that’s worthy of showing off. It’s also a tangible reminder of past adventures and a source of inspiration for future dream destinations, whether they’re reminiscing about backpacking through Europe or dreaming of exotic destinations yet to be explored.

Foy Daytime Chews

Price: $28 

Remind the college grad of their sharpened mind with Foy’s Daytime Chews, a natural boost for those ready to conquer the world. Packed with cannabinoids and mushroom and plant extracts, these gummies are like a magic potion for the mind. They may help your grad brainstorm and focus with clarity, minus the crash or jitters. Each gummy contains 5 mg of THC, CBD, and CBG, plus they’re vegan to boot — learn more via our Foy review.

Chocolates from around the world

Price: Varies

Not every chocolate treat has to be the infused kind. A quick trip to Cocoa Store, just six blocks from our Union Square location, offers a world of intriguing and delicious confections for a recent grad. From colorful bonbons (try a gift box entirely in school colors) to dark chocolate bars, Cocoa Store sells products ethically sourced from around the world. For a next-level experience, book a chocolate tasting session, taken to the next level after a few hits from your favorite vape.

Carpe Every Diem by Robie Rogge

Price: $13.99

This collection of inspirational quotes from more than 100 commencement speeches taps into the spirit of graduation season. Great for the grad who loves curling up with a book and a joint, Carpe Every Diem features passages from former presidents and iconic feminist figures, and even the Muppets get a mention. Get your copy from our neighbors at Strand.
