Puff Pieces is a guide to the most exciting new releases in the cannabis accessory world – think grinders, bongs, ashtrays, and other paraphernalia beyond your wildest dreams.
Edie Parker x The Gemini Bake “Bake Shop” Collection
@TheGeminiBake on Instagram is a pioneer of the vintage layer cake trend — with a 420-friendly twist. Beginning in 2019, the mononymous Sam behind the account started cooking up highly saturated, weed-leaf-adorned confections to bring a much-needed feminine touch to the novelty space.
The Gemini Bake has been a staple of my feed since the beginning, so my ears perked up immediately when Edie Parker started hinting towards the collab in mid-February. The Bake Shop line includes clutch purses, table lighters, and stash boxes – straddling the line between the designer brand’s roots in fashion and its new empire of upscale cannabis accessories.
The stash boxes and table lighters are inspired by the classic grocery store sheet cake, with faux-icing flowers and squiggly borders to boot. As cute as these pieces are, though, Edie Parker accessories are often deeply overpriced for their acrylic material, and these are no exception — though I can justify the hike more for one-of-a-kind, handmade artist exclusives such as these.
Table lighters are $795, stash boxes are $1,395. They’re available exclusively on their website.
Laundry Day A-001 Ashtray
Laundry Day’s A-001 Ashtray is as technically designed as it sounds. Their copy leans into this aesthetic, describing the piece as “a functional object suitable for private and public contexts alike.” The ashtray is semi-enclosed with four spots for a lit joint to rest, allowing the ash to fall safely inside the vessel while the stainless steel top piece protects it from the breeze – or from stinking up your living room. Covered ashtrays such as these are way less widely available than open-top options (and one step closer to my personal favorite style: the Turkish ashtray), so this detail does not go unnoticed.
Visually, the design is highly masculine – its clean lines and sharp edges mirror the recent popularity of midcentury modern designs like the coveted Wassily chair. Its colorways follow suit with stainless steel and an ultra-saturated powder-coated orange.
Personally, I think the ol’ A-001 is a bit too industrial for home use. Although every stoner I’ve shown this to has disagreed with me, this ashtray, while undeniably very well-designed, lacks the charm I look for in a smoking accessory – but take decor advice from someone who has a Jerry Garcia beanie baby prominently displayed in her home with a big grain of salt.
You can find the A-001 Ashtray on Laundry Day’s site for $125.
Sackville & Co. Silver Collection
I must first address my bias here: I work with Sackville, so I helped write the copy for their silver collection. That being said, I would never lie to you, and I was genuinely so excited to see these products come by my desk.
Sackville’s original gilded grinder is the one I use every single day thanks to its massive scale and lack of kief screen (overrated and impossible to clean) but, honestly, I’m a silver girl at heart. Considering home, fashion, and jewelry trends have all been leaning towards the warm-toned metal as of late, I appreciate this step towards inclusivity. It feels good to finally be seen.
This new colorway is also featured on the brand’s signature grinder and their joint carry case, but I think the platinum looks the most impressive on the gilded grinder. The price reflects the investment – the silver gilded grinder is available for $80 on their website.
Sundae School x Farbod Jade & Brown Taiyaki Pipes
Happy Pisces season! These super fun bowls from Sundae School, the weedy streetwear brand with a propensity for mochi gummies, are an ode to the Japanese dessert Taiyaki: a fish-shaped pastry. The jade and brown colorways are an elegant take on a classically Limited Too color scheme.
Its flat bottom will let it rest evenly on a surface instead of rolling around, making it a better choice for displaying on the table (you can always stick some incense in the hole to throw off the scent of judgy houseguests) than throwing in your bag. The ceramicist behind this release is Netherlands-native Farbod Ceramics, a zero-emission, micro-batch production – meaning it's about as clean as it can be.
The Sundae School website lists the Taiyaki bowl for $105.
Houseplant Ashtray 2.0 by Seth
Houseplant has released an evolution of its original ashtray design – taller, thinner, and gunmetal glazed.
I love the original ashtray set – despite the fact that I don’t really smoke joints at home. I keep a nub of palo santo in the rest and dried roses in the vase. That being said, I prefer the original ashtray design to this 2.0 release.
I do enjoy its little tray, as I would any, but I think the original saucer shape is more appropriate for dropping matches or holding whatever little trinkets your heart desires. While this dark metallic vessel would look sleek on a Jeremy O. Harris-esque writing desk, the added depth is likely not necessary unless you’re chaining (no judgment! We all have deadlines).
You can find the Ashtray 2.0 by Seth on Houseplant’s website for $75.
