Gifts for Growers and Budtenders

Growers and budtenders are the two kinds of people who look at cannabis flower more closely than I do, and I paint it for a living. A grower checks on hers every day. A budtender talks about strains all shift. So a generic weed gift lands flat with them. They can tell Blue Dream from Gorilla Zkittlez on sight, and they will notice whether the thing you hand them can too. Every painting in our store is the mature female flower of one named strain, 24 x 30 acrylic on canvas, so the strain is the gift. Here is what I would give each of them.

For the grower: a flag for the grow space

The cannabis flag is the gift for the person with a room or a tent and bare walls around it. It is 34.5 x 56 inches, 100% polyester knit, printed on one side, with two iron grommets, so it hangs on two nails in about a minute and comes down just as fast. We have one in the garage and it makes the garage feel like it has a personality. There are 23 designs on the menu. Pick the strain they are growing right now, or the one they will not stop talking about. If you do not know, STRainbow has six strains on it and covers your bases.

For the grower: a framed print of their strain

If they grow the same strain over and over, a framed 18x24 of that strain beats anything with a generic leaf on it. The framed prints come in a black, red oak or white frame, and the print arrives in the frame, ready to hang, so there is no trip to the frame shop. Ours at home are all in black frames. My tip for picking: match the frame to what is already in the room, and if nothing is in the room yet, go black. If wall space is tight, the same paintings come as an 8x10 with no frame, which fits on a shelf next to the tent.

For the budtender: a hoodie

A budtender is on the floor all shift, and a hoodie with the painting on the back is the one they will wear to work. I wear mine when it gets cold in Florida, which is not often, so it still looks new. The face is 100% cotton. They run true to size, so size up if they like it baggy, and the size chart is on each product page. Colors depend on the strain. Sour Diesel comes in carbon grey or white, Khalifa Kush in black, carbon grey, sky blue or white, and Purple Haze in black, carbon grey or white. If you want one hoodie that covers the whole menu, the 12 Strain hoodie puts twelve of my paintings on one back.

For the budtender: a small print for the break room

If they do not have wall space at home, a 12x18 collectible poster fits a locker door or a break room wall, and the strain name is printed under the painting so nobody has to ask what it is. Buy three and the discount shows up at checkout on its own. The 8x10 prints work the same way on a desk.

For the grower who wants to show off

Growers like to show you what they grew. If the grower in your life has a flower they are proud of, the Submit Your Photo page is where to send it. It is a page, not a product, so it goes well next to any of the gifts above. And if you are buying for a dispensary rather than a person, the owner can register at buds.cannaqueensproject.com.

When you cannot pick a strain

A gift card goes by email in values from $25 to $250, and a grower or a budtender will know exactly what to do with it. Everything else except originals is made when you order it. Production is 3 to 7 days and US delivery is another 3 to 7 business days, so give it about two weeks. If the date is close, email cannaqueensproject@gmail.com and we will tell you straight whether it will make it.
