U.S, May 5, 2020 (GREENMARKETREPORT) Gift-giving can be a stressful exercise, particularly when you want your gift to make a statement and even more so when that statement is along the lines of “Thank you for giving me life, keeping me alive, and making my life better.” It’s a tall order, but one that is possible to fill, especially if your search includes cannabis-related products.
Cannabis data intelligence company Headset rounded up some figures on buying behavior related to Mother’s Day, to the benefit CBD companies looking for a sales figure boost and shoppers eager to commemorate the mothers in their lives with the perfect gift. According to Headset data, there were noticeable spikes in specific categories, including topicals, tincture, and sublingual products. Sales in both the “Bath Salts, Soaks, and Scrubs” and “Transdermal Products” categories rose 32%, while lotions, creams, gels, oils, and lubes saw smaller but still significant increases.
Leaflink, a wholesale cannabis e-commerce marketplace, posted data that showed a 8.54% overall market share increase during the week after Mother’s Day last year, compared to its average weekly increase of .94%. Leaflink attributes this leap to a massive restocking of vape cartridges after Mother’s Day shoppers cleaned the shelves prior to the holiday. So you’re clearly not the only one thinking green for your mother’s special day, but with all of the products on the market, from the new to the tried and true, where to start? Here are some of this year’s highlights.
A Mother’s Day bundle from luxury CBD product manufacturer TribeTokes includes a tincture, face mask, eye cream, and travel-sized eye gel that offers $40 in savings with an additional 20% discount when you enter MAGICALMAMA20 at checkout. Or say it with Kiva Confections’ THC-infused edibles, including their light dose 2.5 mg Petra Mints, or the popular Terra Bites (5mg per dose), which come in flavors like dark chocolate espresso bean and blueberry milk chocolate.
Valhalla Confections offers a different take on the sweet Mother’s Day treat with cannabis-infused gummies that come in flavors like “Sattiva Tangerine” and “Indica Sour Watermelon”. MedTerra CBD has gummy-loving mummies looking for a THC-free treat covered with three different gummy varieties (“Stay Alert”, “Keep Calm”, and “Sleep Tight”) to make her day special.
Not every mother dreams of bubble bath and sweet treats, so for her watchmaker Time Concepts offers its 420 Waldos Mary Jane Series. These timepieces, which retail at $150, boast a cannabis plant image at the watch face’s twenty-minute mark, with another plant outline imprinted on either side of the watchband. Every watch sold supports cannabis legalization.
Whether you are looking to gift the mama in your life with cannabis-related products for topical pain relief (such as Papa Barkley’s Releaf Balm or Releaf Body Lotion), a potent tincture to alleviate stress and tension (e.g. Funky Farms Alaskan Ice Tincture or Kat’s Naturals “Relax”), or a celebratory sip made with one of Mood33’s hemp-infused herbal teas, there are gift ideas aplenty and little reason to let Mother’s Day pass by unmarked. but one of the most exciting cannabis gift’s one can give a mom on Mother’s Day is a bottle of the luxurious infused beverage from House of Saka’s Napa Valley collection Saka Pink. This familiarity of holding a glass of wine at night provides for the perfect perfect micro-dosed experience to any Mom looking to relax.
