But, during the holiday season it’s easy to start panic-buying and get your friends and family presents they wouldn’t pick in a million years. Novelty jumpers, self-help books, last-minute discount fragrances that smell like a teenage boy on the pull. You mean well, but your loved one is left wishing you’d saved your cash. Or just given them the cash.

Even if you do find something they might like, most people don’t really need more objects cluttering up their homes. In 2021, it’s more about gifting experiences — especially as most of us have been locked at home for the best part of two years. Last week we explored how to give the gift of love for Christmas, via magic mushrooms or truffles. These all natural psychedelics are scientifically proven to increase the warm fuzzies and feelings of well being for weeks to come after you take them. They are an excellent gift for any 18+ pal or family member who dreams of traveling to their technicolor subconscious, and exploring their psychedelic potential. 

Psychedelic Gift Guide

But where does one start? Here at Whoelcelium we have loads of products to choose from, and it can be tough to narrow down the choices when not buying for yourself.

So we’ve created a psychedelic gift guide to make it easy for you! Simply see which of your loved ones fit into our categories, and discover the product for them! Or if any of the categories chime with you — there’s no harm in a bit of self-gifting, right?

For The Go-Getter: Magic Truffle Microdose

Everyone’s got that friend, or cousin, or older sister who’s just a high achiever. Manages to get three times as much done as you do, and looks cool doing it. You’d hate their guts if they weren’t such a good buddy — it’s why you’re searching for the perfect gift for them after all! But what do you get the person who seems to have it all dialed? 

Why, something to optimize them even further of course! Yes, the perfect gift for the overachiever is a magic truffle microdose strip! As you may have read in the past few years, the hottest new wellness trend is microdosing, loved by everyone from Silicon Valley nerds, to forward-thinking creatives, to those who just want to increase their productivity. Microdosing is the practice of taking a sub-perceptual dose of a psychedelic, like psilocybin, to experience all the benefits without the psychedelic effects. By giving the gift of increased concentration, out-of-the-box thinking, creativity, productivity and general feelings of well-being, you will be giving your overachieving pal what they really want this Christmas. 

When they open their gift on Christmas morning you can direct them straight to our Microdose Manual, for any extra info that they need.  

For The One Who Loves The Classics: Psilocybe Mexicana

This is a gift for the ones who like the genre defining. Margarita pizza, Citizen Kane, a classic pair of Levi’s. If it’s not iconic, it’s not for them. This is why the ideal gift for the collector of the classics is the Psilocybe mexicana magic truffle. The Psilocybe mexicana was the first magic mushroom to be brought to the attention of the Western world via a LIFE magazine article in 1957. It is also the shroom thought to be the ‘flesh of the gods’ described by the Aztecs. So y’know, it’s shroom royalty. Your purist buddy will agree — it’s a total classic! One of the more gentle highs in our selection, this is a perfect gift for those who like the hits. 

For The Gardener : A Magic Mushroom Grow Kit 

A gift for the green fingered! We all love our buddy with the passion for the natural world. The one who loves to grow and cultivate — whether its carrots in an allotment or a houseplant on the window sill. Why not help them expand this Christmas? Perhaps become greyish-beige-golden fingered? (OK, it’s not so catchy!)

Well, the gift for them is of course a magic mushroom grow kit! Arriving already inoculated, the kit is super easy to use, but will still give the inner glow that comes with caring for and growing for a living organism. And that’s before they even take the shrooms! Just like tomatoes you grow in your own garden taste the best — the shrooms you have cultivated from a tiny pin-head to a fully grown mushroom give you the best trips! And maybe your kind, plant loving pal will share their crops with you come harvest time…

For The Wisdom-Hunter : Qubit Magic Truffles

For the intellectual explorer, we recommend our Qubit magic truffles. The friend or family member who has read all the Tolstoy, searches the skies for UFOs or has mastered meditation. They are on a constant quest to open and expand their minds. Why not impress them with our most potent magic truffle? If they wield this magic truffle properly they could explore the deepest depths of their minds, change their perceptions and see the light, man. Of course, it’s probably worth checking if they’ve dabbled in psychedelics before (you could always get them a lighter high such as our Tampanesis), but chances are, if they are an intellectual and spiritual voyager they will have… ?

For The Budget Queen : Pandora’s Box

This is for the loved one who always wants more bang for their buck, and would also love you to get a bargain too! Our Pandora’s Box Magic Truffle Kit gives you way more truffles for your money — between 30 and 60g per kit! Once opened all you have to do is rinse and strain, and you are left with the freshest magic truffles possible! A fun festive season activity, and super easy too.
