“There are three ways to ultimate success:
The first way is to be kind.
The second way is to be kind.
The third way is to be kind.”
~Mr. Rogers
Mr. Rogers had it right. Kindness is the key to success. And in this current climate, we need all the kindness we can get.
What better act of kindness than a gift to those unsung heroes who we all love, secretly admire, or simply want to make feel better.
Here is our list of gifts for the unsung heroes in your life and the cannabis pairings we think will help spread holiday cheer and hopefully inspire other acts of kindness.
Guy At Gym
You’ve given him a name only known to you. “Greg”. You’re not sure why other than he looks like a Greg. You can’t quite wrap your head around Greg and his odd behavior at the gym but you’re not one to shame anyone’s preferences so you cheer him on, internally of course. You will never understand why Greg watches Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 every time he runs on the treadmill. It’s not even the good Paul Blart movie. But you accept that it’s simply not for you to understand. Greg deserves a goodie bag this year, and this is what we would put in it.
Ceres Garden – Bath Salt, Revive Rosemary & Spearmint
Greg’s post-workout aches and pains should count their days. He’s going to crush them just like his 10,000 steps per day goal.
Doozies – Plus, Strawberry Pineapple Maca 1:1:1
Give Greg the gift of energy with these maca enhanced gummies. He’s going to be burning rubber on the treadmill after one (or several) of these.
That Crazy Chicken Lady
Your neighbor. You love everything about her. Recently retired to “fight fascism full-time”, she is a chicken-caring enigma and you’re totally obsessed. You learned the word “Alektorophile” because of her, even though she prefers to call herself that “Crazy Chicken Lady”.
The tunes she hums, the energy she puts into the air, the devotion to everything good is exactly why she deserves a token of appreciation. Here’s our carefully crafted list of cannagoods to make her day even brighter.
High Five Farms – Chicken & Waffles
You know damn well she’ll be tickled about the name. She’ll also be delighted to know she can smoke a bowl of chicken and waffles without actually hurting a member of her beloved feathered family.
Merlin’s Meds – Rainbow Belts Infused Pre-Roll 8pk
With the calming effects of Rainbow Belts, this 8 pack of infused pre-rolled joints are the bees knees…or the chicken’s wattle. One for every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Her pipe is at least 20 years old. There’s something to be said about an old friend. Oh the stories it could tell. But it’s chipped, stained black, and clogged so bad the resin has become one with the glass. It’s time for a new piece. We’ve got loads on hand in all the colors of the rainbow. (Hot tip: We occasionally have animal-themed roach clips.)
Your Dentist
I mean, come on. Do we really need to explain why dentists deserve a little treat this holiday season? They look in people’s disgusting mouths all day long. The tartar. The plaque. The halitosis. Sure, it’s nerve wracking going to the dentist. Nobody likes their teeth drilled to the nubs or your mouth marbles cleaned/extracted/scraped. But it’s a necessary evil for overall physical health and we thank the dentists for being ballsy enough to risk getting bit, spit on, or sworn at – all in the name of health. For these unsung heroes, we recommend:
No caramel to rip fillings out or nuts to chip your teeth, infused drinks are a very dentist-friendly option. We have a wide selection of drinks, from energy shots to 12oz sodas. No need for a spit cup or bib here – they won’t want to waste a single drop.
Hazy Daze – Vice CBD 2:1 Headache Rub
Being hunched over patients all day long and wearing those magnifying glasses has got to be headache inducing. Give your dentist the gift of serenity this season with a headache-free existence and the knowledge that you are now their favorite patient.
Dog Walkers and Pet Sitters
It’s no secret that we love animals at Trove. So much so we encourage you to bring them in. There’s not a thing we wouldn’t do for our furbabies. Not. A. Damn. Thing. That’s why you’ve hired a dog walker for little Fido during the work week or a petsitter for Mittens while you’re away. What better way to show your appreciation for someone who takes care of your furry friends than a few Trove tokens with purpose.
Hazy Daze – Bud-Ease Companion CBD Biscuits
Let’s face it, sometimes our little buddies can be gremlins. Give your pet caretakers some solace with these crunchy infused pet biscuits made from peanut butter, bananas, flour, egg, and full-spectrum Charlotte’s Web. Crunchy. Tasty (we think). Peace inducing.
Fairwinds – Tincture, Bacon Companion
Technically a treat for the littles, but your pet caretakers will reap the benefits. If your pet is entering their “distinguished elder” era or just dealing with some aches and pains, this 5:1 CBD + THC formula has their back. With an all-natural smoky bacon flavor, it’s easy to administer and will have your pets running zoomies around your house in no time.
Passion Flower – Zcotch Tape CBN Live Resin Cartridge
Every pet caregiver deserves relaxation. Myrcene, a powerful terpene, is well known for its relaxing properties which can induce couch-lock. After a long day of picking up poop, throwing endless toys around, and wiping mud-caked paws, caregivers deserve a break. A few tokes off of this myrcene packed cart will bring a sense of peace and provide a warm spot for a cat to nap.
Neighborhood Speed Walkers
“Go Speed Racer Go!” is what you secretly chant to yourself as you see the crew of speed walkers pretending your cul-de-sac is a NASCAR lap whizz by. Without fail – rain or shine – these speedsters look fresh AF with their fanny packs, Stanley cups, and matching New Balance shoes.
You wonder what they talk about. You hope they’re coming up with a plan to end hunger and implement world peace, but you figure it’s likely something more local – like how the sloth became the unofficial mascot of Bellingham. Regardless of what they’re chatting about, you admire them from afar and thank them for providing regularly scheduled entertainment. On their next lap, you might consider gifting them:
Doozies – Plus, Sour Green Apple Caffeine
Give that crew a turbo boost with these powerful gummies packed with a blend of THC, CBG, and 400mg of green coffee bean caffeine. You’d better get your fanny pack ready, because they’ll thank you for the boost they needed to go another lap and invite you to join them.
Mr. Rogers had a cardigan. We’ve got cannabis. Different tools, same goal: be kind and decent to the people around you. Whether you’re gifting for an unsung hero in your life, or simply want to spread a little holiday cheer, we’ve got you covered with hundreds of products waiting for their new homes. Not sure what you’re looking for? Our Budtenders will be pleased as punch to give you recommendations.
As always, enjoy cannabis responsibly and keep it out of reach of minors.
Happy Holidays!
