Since we’re in a new age of online shopping, folks no longer need to brave long lines at shopping malls or deal with heavy traffic. The convenience of shopping from your computer or smartphone may have replaced the rush of braving the public, and it opens up your wallet to more options.
According to the National Retail Federation, around 182 million people will shop online and in stores between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the second largest shopping day of the year. The NRF added in its reporting that clothes are slated to be the top item for shoppers, followed by gift cards and toys, respectively.
As it stands, our quick and handy Black Friday roundup should cover most bases. Hopefully, you find the item of your dreams in the offerings below.

Now that Thanksgiving is back around, families and friends are gathering for some good eats, drinks, and sports. For those of us who like to partake of cannabis, we’d love it if you would check out our very first cannabis-themed gift guide for Turkey Day.I wasn’t able to get this guide up earlier in the week in order to help the readers prepare but we’re looking at the long game here as Thanksgiving leads into the weekend. Also, depending on what style of cannabis you consume and the method, the leftovers will come in quite handy.What I enjoyed the most about compiling this guide was the variety of ways to experience the vast wide world of cannabis. Speaking for myself, I use cannabis chiefly for its therapeutic benefits and not for leisure but there’s nothing wrong with adults looking for a natural way to unwind from the stresses of their day.From topical applications, infused drinks, and powders that can be added to all kinds of foods, flower, vaporizers, concentrates, and beyond, there is something for every kind of cannabis enthusiast below.I’m fairly new to covering this growing industry and I’m excited to see how the innovative minds behind these companies expand their wares. I want to thank everyone for allowing me the opportunity to share your products with our audience. We’re very, ahem, “dank-ful.”Check out Hip-Hop Wired’s Thanksgiving Weekend cannabis gift guide below.

Cali Sober bills itself as the “totally legal THC mocktail” and it achieves this distinction by using hemp-derived THC while keeping under the legal weight. It’s not meant to get you super buzzed but instead, it’s an alternative to hard seltzers and infused drinks. The company is aiming to launch nationwide and we’re excited to see what’s next.

Dizzies is a brand that’s new to us and their approach to cannabis is to boost its products with a touch of flavor.

23. OOKA x Seven9
Source:OOKA
OOKA is easily the illest device I’ve ever seen up close and personal. Sure, I’ve had hookah before as it’s unavoidable in the Washington, D.C. area, but nothing this slick-looking and functional. Further, OOKA takes the guesswork out of fumbling with coals and the like with its pod system. Even better, Seven9 offers a selection of cannabis-infused pods for the session.

24. O.Pen Sesh
Source:O.Pen
One of the things I love in covering cannabis products and devices is being privy to all of the new ways companies are improving the user experience.
