Spending money\u2014or worse going into debt\u2014just to give someone a present isn\u2019t the point of Christmas, or any holiday. <\/p>\n<p>Spoiler: it\u2019s about hanging out with friends and family, indulging in good food, and making memories (not accumulating stuff). Still, if you\u2019re compelled to give someone a little something there are ways to do it that won\u2019t break the bank, or create additional waste. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve come up with five recycled and upcycled gifts for the cannabis lover in your life that are easy, don\u2019t cost a lot, and are sure to put a little jingle in their step.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-homegrown-gingerbread-cookies\">Homegrown gingerbread cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Are you someone with a green thumb who\u2019s managed to harvest a bounty of bud from your outdoor plant? You\u2019re proud of your stuff and wouldn\u2019t mind showing it off. <\/p>\n<p>Sure, you could just put a bunch of your hand-picked green into a jar, stick a shiny red bow on top and call it a day. But you\u2019ve got the opportunity to turn it into something even more special. <\/p>\n<p>Our suggestion: use your flower to make cannabis-infused butter and whip up a batch of simple yet festive gingerbread cookies. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" alt=\"Homemade Christmas gingerbread house and smiling marzipan Santa Claus\" class=\"wp-image-188483 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-1.jpg,compress&w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-1.jpg,compress&w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-1.jpg,compress&w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-1.jpg,compress&w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Nothing says lovin\u2019 like weedy gingerbread from the oven. (alexeyborodin via Adobe Stock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you\u2019ll do it:<\/p>\n<p>First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/lifestyle\/recipe-how-to-make-basic-cannabutter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read our easy-to-follow guide<\/a> on making cannabutter. It\u2019s not as daunting as you might think, but does require patience. <\/p>\n<p>Basically, you\u2019ll decarb your bud by drying it out in the oven, then you\u2019ll grind and add it into melted butter, let it simmer together for a few hours, then strain it, refrigerate it, and boom! Weed butter.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got your cannabutter ready to go, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/canada\/cannabis-infused-gingerbread-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follow this infused gingerbread cookie<\/a> recipe from the Wellness Soldier. If you don\u2019t have any cookie cutters, a juice glass will make perfect circle-shaped cookies every time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-lighter-green-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Remember: accurately dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so you\u2019ll want to sample your sweets before you give them out. As with all edibles, start with a low dose and go slow to see how you feel.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mason-jar-flower-storage\">Mason jar flower storage<\/h2>\n<p>Help that special someone finally organize their stash this holiday season with a set of DIY storage jars. Guaranteed there\u2019s a thrift store not far from you that has a surplus of mason or canning jars\u2014just ask.<\/p>\n<p>Collect a handful of these jars with lids (maybe four or five) and give them a new lease on life. They can be uniform, so they have a consistent look, or you can get a variety of heights for a more eclectic vibe. <\/p>\n<p>To make them unique, consider painting each of the lids in a different shade of their favourite colour for an ombre effect when all of the jars are lined up. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget labelling, too. Design and print labels for each jar using an online resource like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/labels\/templates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canva<\/a>, which offers hundreds of free options that can be printed off at home. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can use an erasable marker to decorate or write on each one. If you\u2019re feeling extra generous, pre-stock a few different strains into a few of the jars. Our recommendation: anything Dosido, which is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/canada\/dosidos-weed-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021 Strain of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" alt=\"Legal cannabis shining through a mason jar\" class=\"wp-image-188496 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-2.jpg,compress&w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-2.jpg,compress&w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-2.jpg,compress&w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/upcycled-gift-ideas-for-the-cannabis-lover-in-your-life-2.jpg,compress&w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>The decorating possibilities are endless with DIY mason jars. Just add weed.

On the worst of days, there are several plastic zip-lock pouches from the dispensary scattered haphazardly on our kitchen table.<\/p>\n<p>If you know someone like him, a personalized stash box might be in order. Plus, you can get creative making one that suits your style. <\/p>\n<p>To start, you need a vessel about the size of a shoebox. You might have a suitable one kicking around your house. Something cardboard could work if it\u2019s sturdy, or maybe there\u2019s a perfectly-sized plastic, metal, or wood box in a drawer or closet going unused. If not, the thrift store is sure to have an option. <\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve sourced your box comes the fun part, and the options for decorating are endless. <\/p>\n<p>Some ideas: take the minimalist route and paint the whole thing all black or all tan with a top coat of Mod Podge for a shiny finish, or go the maximalist route and cover the whole thing in electric orange glitter glue. <\/p>\n<p>You can also use a patterned contact paper, that self-adhesive paper that\u2019s sold at most dollar stores and usually used to line drawers and shelves.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re artistic, you could take this as an opportunity to hand draw or paint something personal on the sides or top of the box, or channel your inner angsty teen self and make a collage from magazine cut-outs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"A woman holds a gift box among silvery and white jewelry.
