Holiday Gift Guide Part One: Can't We All Just Get A Bong?

This holiday season we encourage you to march to the beat of your own little drummer boy and give the gift of elevated living. In this Holiday Gift Guide, we've curated some of our absolute favourite glasswork, pipes, vaporizers, papers, and stash kits, alongside cannabis-inspired jewelry and accessories. You'll be able to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

At the intersection of technology and art you’ll find a brand manufacturing glass pieces so beautiful you’ll make space on your mantle to display them and hover uncomfortably around house guests who get too touchy.

Red Eye Tek

“What’s the big deal, it’s just a water pipe” you may be thinking but in fact, you would be so wrong. Red Eye Tek doesn’t just produce bongs that you forget to change the water in and that you stash in the back of your closet when your parents come visit you at Uni. No, these “High-Performance Leisure Devices” synthesize supercharged technical glass design into aesthetic art pieces. Designs so far forward they’re living in 3019 and inviting you along for the ride.

These pieces are inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Who, Steampunk, Thomas Dolby, Industrial Design and Scientific Percolation and believe me, these creations will make you think and live just a little bit differently. With functional artwork as a part of your regular elevation routine.

In any revolution, such as what we’re experiencing today with the end of cannabis prohibition in Canada and several states - a true leader emerges when change is needed. The Red Eye Tek brand is the change the glass pipe industry needed when things became...well...stale. Red Eye Tek’s mission is to challenge the status quo with percolator rich technical glass pipes.

Let’s talk about glass for a minute. You can get bongs made from silicone, stone, crystal, plastic and if you want to get really traditional, bamboo or wood, like the early stoners of yesteryear who developed the techniques we’ve adapted today. In fact, did you know that the word “bong” is derived from the Thai word “baung”, which refers to a cylindrical tube through which one inhales smoke? There’s a fun fact you can trot out to impress your family around the dinner table this year. Forget politics, let’s talk about how bongs are made! The point is that options are available but when shopping for quality pieces that will stand the test of time and look amazing PLUS deliver a smooth smoking experience you want to look to glass. Glass provides a tasteless, odourless experience and doesn't impart any other impurities into the smoke that you’re inhaling.

Unique and Beautiful Bongs for Every occasion

In a world that finally values individuality and uniqueness we are excited to have as an option, the Terminator’s unique and proprietary metallic finish which can’t be found anywhere else. 

Take, for example the six-sided, symmetrical wonder that is the Hex Based Tube, with its signature hexagonal base and diamond pull out. The beaker design playfully rips on a mad scientist theme (imagine how dope this would look in your living room displayed next to your collection of Professor Zaroff fan art.) The mouthpiece was thoughtfully designed for optimal comfort and if you’re the type of person who doesn’t like to be pinned down, who likes to have the freedom to change your mind, you can enjoy your regular dried flower or trade out the bowl for a banger and Eureka! You’ve got a concentrate device.

Happy holidays!
