1. Books for Pot Heads

Moving clockwise from top left:

  • High on Design – £24.99 – If like me you are into cannabis design and branding, then this is the book for you. This book covers the history of cannabis use, before moving onto to studies of today’s leaders. Naturally the book is beautiful and sits perfectly on my coffee table, always ready for a quick browse or source of inspiration.
  • A Quick Guide to CBD – £4.99 – Written by CBD specialist, Dr Julie Moltke this book is not only a great starting point for CBD, but will also help those with some understanding to further develop it. Its pretty small and very digestible – we highly recommend it.
  • Brew Better Coffee at Home – £20 – If you’re still perfecting your at home brewing skills, or even starting from scratch, this gorgeous book will show you the ropes in as much detail as you want. It even includes some recipes for coffee and cocktails.
  • Mr Nice – £3.19 – This is the autobiography of Howard Marks, aka Mr Nice. Howard Marks is an infamous, Welsh cannabis dealer and this books follows his journey from Oxford University to organising international drug deals and rubbing shoulders with M16, the CIA and even the mafia. It is a must read.
  • How I Became the Hash Queen – £19.81 – How I Became the Hash Queen is an exciting personal account from one of the cannabis industry’s rare female icons, Mila Jansen. Her story is unlike any other, taking you from 1960s Amsterdam to the Himalayas, and to the burgeoning legal weed scene in the U.S.
  • Home Grown Mag – £20 (Digital Only) – Home Grown Mag is the creation of legendary Lee Harris. Originally published in the 70s and 80s, Home Grown was Britain’s first counter culture and drug magazine. While printed copies are rare, the complete collection is now available online for just £20.

2. Coffee Gifts

Moving clockwise from top left:

  • Aeropress Go – £30 – A new travel friendly revamp of the original Aeropress, which now contains a travel mug. Don’t get too caught up on the travel side though, obviously this isn’t that attractive at the moment (FY COVID). This Aeropress still makes delicious American-style espresso and is an affordable and easy way to do so at home.
  • Saguaro Coffee Cups – £30 – These don’t really require much description. They stack to look like a cactus, they’re made of green glass, and they look dope.
  • Ember Smart Mug 2 – £99.95 – If like me, you drink a lot of coffee and sit at your laptop, A LOT, this might just be the perfect gift. The Ember Smart Mug keeps your coffee at an optimal temperature, allowing you to savour its taste and enjoy the ritual that bit longer. It even comes with its own recharging dock.
  • Hario V60: £9.00 – The perfect, affordable gift for anyone just starting to get into coffee. For the price, this is probably one of best gifts you could ever get a coffee lover. They come in various colours and materials, however this one linked here is the most affordable, clear, plastic variety. It even includes a coffee scoop and 40 papers! Pair it with any of our terpene inspired coffees to create your own ‘Pot Head pack.’
  • Pot Head Mug: £8.99 – I don’t think this is bias if we put this here?
  • rCup Recycled Travel Mug: £9.60 – I met these guys at London Coffee Festival in 2018. They were really nice and their product is great. They collect used paper cups from the likes of Starbucks and Costa and recycle them into reusable travel mugs. Ideal for coffee, tea or any beverage I guess.
  • Bodum Milk Frother – £19.60 – One of the most highly rated, manual milk frothers. If your beans, grind and coffees are good, your next target should be your milk. Works with a variety of dairy, and non-dairy based milks. Up your latte game today!
  • Salter Coffee and Spice Grinder – £19 – While blade grinders aren’t the best option for grinding coffee, we forgive this Salter grinder because of its price. It is one of the highest rated at home coffee grinders, allowing you to grind your beans fresh at home. Honestly, its worth it just for the smell alone, but grinding your beans fresh makes for an even tastier coffee. Trust us.
