Shroomtown's 2023 Holiday Gift Guide
Shroomtown's 2023 Holiday Gift Guide
For the drug users in your life.
The holiday season is upon us, and, as usual, you’re scrambling to find the perfect gift.
Don’t worry — Shroomtown has your back. From the casual user to the drug connoisseur, we’ve got a few ideas you might want to jot down.
For the experimenter
2C-B Vape Pen
For the friend who just wants to have a good time and doesn’t care how they get it, there’s a 2C-B vape pen. First spotted on Zeus Tipado’s Twitter and never seen again, we think if you scour the internet enough, you’ll find a way to get your hands on it.
For the heavy user
Tiny Spoon Necklace
It’s your friend the cokehead. Or ket lover. A spoon necklace is the ultimate accessory for people who love all types of drugs and don’t give a fuck who knows it. Make sure your loved ones are always prepared for their next impromptu bump.
(For those who are looking for a bit more subtlety, consider a tiny spoon keychain instead)
Testing Strips
Let’s get serious for a moment.
With the fentanyl crisis well underway, even the most casual user is at risk when it comes to drugs. We say, better safe than sorry. Supply your friends with testing strips and kits for all substances (check out QTests (Disclaimer: We receive a small kickback if you purchase through this link)) to make sure that they can have a fun and safe holiday season.
For the curious microdoser
Microdose Coach
A gift card to see a microdose coach seems nice, right? Who wouldn’t want that? It can’t be too much, right? Wait.. these coaches charge HOW much per month? To not even get high? What’s “intention setting class”? Oh, the price includes… a notebook? You don’t want to break the bank. Maybe, uh.. Maybe get something else.
A Gram (or More) of Mushrooms
Duh! Nothing better than the raw stuff. Your buddy can figure out the rest. They’re a grown-up, after all. Just make sure to wrap the mushrooms nicely.
Digital Scale
Knowing your dose is the first step in becoming the ultimate microdosing machine. Is your friend an 85 mg kind of person, or do they prefer stacks on stacks on stacks? I’m speaking of Stamets Stacks, of course. You can find these digital scales listed as “food” or “jewelry” scales, but we all know they’re just for drugs. Can we all please stop pretending they’re for anything other than that?
For the self-proclaimed guru
Feather Hat
You can’t be a shaman without this, okay? Make sure your friend freshly back from their ayahuasca journey looks the part with this bad boy. Maybe pick a funky colour, though — you do want to be able to find them in a crowd when they get lost at the next psychedelic conference and blend in with the rest of the gurus.
Podcasting Equipment
Everyone knows that gurus aren’t gurus unless they are constantly talking about their awesome guru-ness. Whether they start their own podcast or want to be a guest on everyone else’s, podcast equipment will ensure that all of their pompousness comes through clearly on the microphone so nobody will ever doubt whether or not they deserve to be speaking to you in the first place. Which they do. But only the first one is free. The second chat can be paid in three installments of $333.
Kuripe Pipe
Does your self-titled guru friend have a Hapé addiction? Of course they do! Get them the ultimate accessory to blow that sweet, sweet snuff into their nose every day before they meditate, eat, go on a walk, watch TV, or any other occasion where they might want a nice little Hapé buzz going.
For the DIY-er
A magic mushroom grow kit
It’s your friend who suddenly becomes an expert in everything overnight. If you’re looking to give the gift that keeps on giving, there’s nothing quite like a DIY magic mushroom grow kit. And who knows, maybe your friend will be feeling generous, and share some of their harvest with you. That’s called investing!
(Some kits come with spores, and some don’t. Read carefully!)
For the wook
Pashmina
Help your wook friend stand out from the crowd of other wooks with another pashmina because they can never have too many.
For the one you love the most
Their very own Bufo Alvarius, to tickle and lick (yeah, we know, it’s a joke) at their own convenience.
Hope you liked our little guide. Happy holidays, and, of course, happy shopping!
