It’s a classic scenario. You find yourself within days (or hours) of seeing a special stoner someone, and you forgot to get a gift. Lucky for you, we’ve got the last-minute weed gift ideas that show the weed lover in your life just how much you care.
These last-minute ideas can be ordered on Amazon Prime, DIY-ed, or sourced from local businesses in a couple of days or just twenty minutes before you’re responsible for showing up with a dazzling gift.
Clearly, there’s no time to waste, so let’s get to it!
1. Create a DIY cleaning kit
Where there is flower or concentrate, there is ash or resin to follow. If there is someone in your life that enjoys cannabis in one of these formats, you can make a DIY cleaning kit for them that will 100% come in handy.
For this last-minute weed gift idea, recycle a box or basket and fill it with these common items that you can find in your local drug or general store.
To create the DIY cleaning kit, you’ll need:
- Cotton swabs
- Quart or gallon-sized disposable bags or reusable, sealable bags for soaking
- Isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher)
- Vinegar
- Disposable gloves (make sure your friend doesn’t have allergies to latex!)
- Pipe cleaners
- A small, sanitized glass container with lid (or try a recycled 3.5g or 7g flower jar)
- Coarse salt
For sustainable and chemically-conscious stoners, leave out the disposables and choose vinegar and salt over iso. You can also place the kit items in a bowl or container large enough for your loved one to soak their beloved glass right inside.
2. Buy their favorite weed products
Hear me out. If you know somebody loves weed, get them some weed. Receiving gifts is one of the love languages for a reason, and you don’t have to be shy about knowing what your loved one likes if time’s ticking down.

Have you ever been to your local head shop? The odds of you finding glass pieces and other accessories that support ~the lifestyle~ are incredibly high. These highly-individualized businesses could be the last-minute weed gift haven you’ve been looking for all along.
Just be coolwhen you’re shopping, and refrain from using cannabis-specific terminology within the store. It’s important that everyone abides by state law in these spaces for the safety of the business and consumers. Remember: these businesses are not dispensaries.

Rental sites like Bud and Breakfast and Hibnb help you find local accommodations that welcome some skunky funk with check-in. They don’t offer accommodations in every state, so check the local laws before booking.
