If you have a friend’s birthday coming up, what better way to treat them than to get a hamper full of all sorts of treats and goodies that they are sure to love.

But if your mate is an ardent smoker, why not try something to indulge their habit rather than a box full of food or a basket of soaps. I was recently given just such a hamper as a present and I must say that I am impressed, and am looking at getting a couple of these for my mates.

This little wonder box contained a whole array of smoking paraphernalia that has kept me entertained for several evenings now, and I’m sure will continue to keep me entertained for quite some time to come.

Firstly, it contained a miniature bong. I recently went to a music festival and wanted to take a bong with me, but one that could be kept discreet. This hamper came to me just in time then! It was small enough to fit in my pocket, so could be taken out and used whenever the want took me.  As it is an incredibly small bong, you don’t get too much of a hit with it, but that doesn’t matter when what you’ve got is so endlessly portable and discreet! The hamper also came with a pocket pipe, which was perfect for evenings around the campfire singing songs and listening to the bands playing into the night.

Another useful piece of kit that came with the hamper was a couple of plastic tubes that were the ideal size to store a couple of pre-rolled joints to carry around in your pocket and not get crushed. This is an idea I really approve of, especially as we head into summer; you don’t always want to take your stash out and about, but if you can roll a couple at home and get them to the park intact, bingo.

As well as all these great little things for the smoker out and about, there was plenty to keep me entertained at home; a new ashtray (always useful, considering the amount that seem to get broken at home), lighter, various size papers, including a 3m roll that you can rip to whatever size you desire, pipe gauzes, and even a really good acrylic grinder.  Best of all there was a hemp flavour lolly which was great for helping to stave off the munchies.

At the end of the day I’m really pleased with my little hamper, and once I’ve used up all the stuff that came with it I’ll be left with an attractive wicker box that I can use as a stash box in its own right.
