The Magic Mushroom Lovers’ Gift Guide 2022
We’ve done some of the work for you by putting together a magic mushroom lover’s gift guide for 2022. Perfect for the psychonaut, or even just the psy-curious in your life. Because these days, with the psychedelic revolution sprouting tendrils across all corners of the media, more people than ever before are taking an interest in what was previously an underground or niche culture. On top of that, a fresh interest in all things mycological has spawned an ever growing fanbase for all things shroom — whether psychedelic or not.
All this to say — you’re in good hands. And, if you’re reading this you probably have an interest in everything with a psychedelic-bent already. So remember, if something takes your fancy, you have our permission to treat yourself! 😉
Magic Mushroom Grow Kit
It’s the obvious choice right? One of our magic mushroom grow kits is always a perfect gift for a psychedelic fan — especially if they’ve never had the chance to grow-their-own before. Easy to use, and coming pre-inoculated, the kit can be set up before the turkey is even in the oven. You’ll have a fresh crop of shrooms by New Year!
Additionally, you can pick the strain of your chosen grow kit. Base this on what you know about the recipient of the gift. If they are a fresh-faced new shroom fan, pick a mild strain such as Mexicans. If they’re an experienced psychonaut you could go for something more potent, such as Mazapatec or Mckennai. Be sure to tell them that a grow kit is the gift that keeps on giving! You can get up to 4 repeat flushes from one grow kit alone. Check out the full how-to manual.
Some Classic Psychedelic Literature
Those with an interest in psychedelics tend to like to expand their minds through all mediums. Why not treat someone to some classic psychedelic literature? Here’s some suggestions:
An Introduction to Psychedelics — Historical and Present
How To Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan (2018)
For the Mycology Heads
Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake (2020)
The Icon:
The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley (1954)
Mug (For Shroom Tea!)
Simple but ever-so-useful, a shroom tea mug can also be used for coffee — ever heard of it? Just pick out a cute mug and you’re good to go! Double points if the mug is mushroom themed!
Tie-Dye Kit
Get ready for that far-off psychedelic summer by giving a tie-dye kit as a gift. A great way to help your loved one or friend look the part with a little bit of creativity!
Star Projection Lamp
Could there be anything more cozy and magical than a room full of stars? Perfect for arranging your set and setting for a shroom trip, a star projection lamp will give your trip a whole new space-age dimension. You can also enjoy it when totally sober! Everybody loves stargazing after all…
Medicinal Mushroom Supplements
Mushroom supplements are all the rage. They can do everything from boost your immune system, to putting some pep in your step. Give your buddy a new dimension to their wellness routine by treating them to some Chaga, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Maitake or Cordyceps!
Journal
One of the key parts of integrating a psychedelic trip is by writing down your thoughts and feelings before and after a trip. A classy, good quality notebook is the proper place for spiritual realizations and trippy experiences to be noted down.
Edible Mushroom Grow Kit
Did you know you can buy non-psychedelic mushroom grow kits? Well you can! For the mycology fan who wants the trip of growing something themselves, without the actual trip. You can grow delicious edible mushrooms such as shiitake and oyster at home with ease. Is there anything cooler than serving guests a mushroom risotto with mushrooms you’ve grown yourself? We think not.
Jon Hopkins — Music for Psychedelic Therapy
Esteemed techno producer Jon Hopkins made it his mission in 2018 to soundtrack the psychedelic revolution. He found himself in a cave in the Amazon marveling at nature. The result was this 2021 album, made to accompany guided psychedelic therapy. It is beautiful and transcendental, and is the ideal gift for the music-loving psychonaut in your life. Get it for them on vinyl if you’re fancy.
The Psilocybin Chef Cookbook
Got an aunt, or a pal, or a neighbor who is into cooking and magic mushrooms but has never combined the two? Well, the iconic ‘The Psilocybin Chef Cookbook’ is the gift for them. With recipes ranging from main courses to candy there’s plenty of creative ways to incorporate magic mushrooms to keep your gift recipient busy. Now all there is left to do is to wait for an invite to come round for some Cream of Shroom Soup!
The Christmas Conclusion
At the end of the day, this season is all about kindness and good cheer. Remember it’s the thought that counts! However, some thoughts will be more popular than others 😜, so be sure to give the gift of shrooms this Christmas!
