Merry merry merry Kratomas! Happy Kwanzaa! Hanukkah Sameach! It’s that time of year again… Below are the best kratom gifts for the 2023 holiday season.
Whether you are buying yourself a holiday treat or getting a kratom gift for someone else in your life, we’ve got great options for you to explore. If you’re new to kratom and have questions, check out our FAQs page, the Better Brewing Blog, or kratomanswers.org for more information before you buy your kratom gifts.
From Stocking Stuffers to Unforgettable Experiences
A kratom gift doesn’t necessarily have to be something you buy. The tradition of brewing kratom tea is centered around community. Here at Top Tree, we love giving the gifts of time and care to loved ones and to others in need. That’s why many of the gifts on our kratom gift guide aren’t just physical objects.
So scroll on down to find a perfect kratom gift for the loved ones in your life. It might not be something you can wrap up and tie a ribbon around, but it will still be immensely meaningful.
1. Crushed-Leaf Tea Bags
Of course this is the first item on the kratom gift guide! We won’t beat around the kratom bush: our crushed-leaf kratom tea bags are a wonderful gift for the holidays. We use only high-quality, lab-tested kratom that is certified cGMP and free of heavy metals and other contaminants.
Want to get a kratom-related gift for someone who has never tried kratom, but is interested in functional teas? Tea is a great introduction into the world of kratom. Unlike the typical chalky green powders, Top Tree’s kratom tea is made of crushed leaves. It resembles any other tea you’d find at the grocery store, and it tastes phenomenal.
2. A Pre-Planned Outdoor Adventure
Even for some of the most active people, planning a trip into the great outdoors can be difficult. In certain areas, it’s hard to find a good hiking spot or to plan out the train ride to get there. Is your friend a hiker at heart, but doesn’t make it to the trailhead very often? Your gift can be the legwork it takes to get them there!
Make sure to pack an appropriate amount of water, gear, and provisions. Take into account the weather and difficulty of your hike. And don’t forget to pack a thermos full of kratom tea to keep you warm and energized!
Alltrails.com and the National Parks website are great places to start if you don’t have a go-to adventure spot. Many hiking apps like this have paid pro options, so you could even purchase an annual membership as part of your gift.
3. Ingredients to Brew a Kratom Recipe Together
If your loved one enjoys trying out new recipes and whipping up something delicious at home, this is the perfect kratom gift for them.
Pick out a new kratom tea recipe you’d like to make with the recipient of your gift. Head to the store (or to your pantry) and put together a small bag of ingredients.
Pack up spices and herbs, maybe a sweetener, and of course, a box of kratom tea! You don’t have to get everything, especially anything with a short shelf life. You can always pick up more supplies after you’ve set a time brew tea together.
Toss all of the ingredients into a small basket or a reusable bag, tie a ribbon on it, and voilá! A gift and a date night, all wrapped into one.
Need recipe inspiration? Head to the Better Brewing Blog! Here are a few suggestions for recipes that are a blast to make with family or friends:
- Kratom Sangria Recipe
- Kratom Hot Chocolate Recipe
- Krapple Cider (Kratom Apple Cider)
- Kratom Chai Latte Recipe
You can also download the kratom tea recipe e-book. It contains our latest seasonal recipes. Choose a recipe from the book, and print out the page to go with your gift!

4. Donation to a Kratom Advocacy Organization in Your Giftee’s Name
You can donate to an advocacy organization in the name of your recipient as a gift this holiday season.
One of the biggest kratom advocacy organizations in the US is the American Kratom Association (AKA). They work to ensure access to safe kratom for consumers, eliminate misinformation about kratom in the US and abroad, and protect kratom as a natural resource. The AKA engages in large-scale legislative efforts and consumer advocacy initiatives.
A donation is also a great idea if you don’t know exactly what kind of kratom your loved one likes. You aren’t getting them the gift of kratom itself, but you are helping to protect their long-term access to safe, regulated kratom.
5. Insulated Travel Thermos
Steeping kratom tea takes longer than other teas, but the extra time doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker!
If your giftee is busy or lives life on the go, a vacuum-sealed thermos is a perfect gift to help them brew quickly and effectively. A thermos allows you to do anything you’d like while your tea steeps – no need to watch over a pot on the stove if you don’t have time.
Plus, if you’re traveling to someone else’s home for the holidays, you can bring your tea with you and it will stay hot for hours!
6. Kratom Subscription
This is the kratom gift that keeps on giving! Have kratom delivered to your loved one is a great way to keep the holiday spirit alive for months after the main event.
Top Tree Herbs kratom tea subscriptions can be cancelled any time, and are completely customizable. You can pick the amount of tea and delivery frequency that fits your budget and your recipient’s preferences.
6. Stasher Pouch for Tea (or Snacks)
This teeny gift makes for a perfect stocking stuffer!
We often keep a few kratom tea bags in a container or box at the bottom of our work bags or gym bags for on-the-go brewing. With all the other supplies we carry around, the box of tea can get a bit roughed up.
Stashable containers to the rescue!
Stasher makes a reusable silicon go-bag for $15 that can hold a few kratom tea bags (and maybe even a cinnamon stick or two). You can store in the smallest of backpack pockets, or even clip onto the handle of your thermos. No need to bring a full pouch of tea everywhere you go and risk breaking the tea bags inside.
This kratom gift is also great for the sustainability-minded snacker in your life.
7. Subscription to a Kratom Podcast
There are many fantastic kratom podcasts out there, as well as podcasts about other psychoactive plants and compounds. There are also science and culture podcasts that don’t discuss kratom directly but provide a broader context for American and international science and culture.
Some of the podcast hosts or companies have a Patreon. You can buy a Patreon subscription for your friend to receive the podcast’s exclusive content or early releases of their episodes and interviews. Here are a few staff favorites:
The Kratom Science Podcast
Host Brian Gallagher covers kratom news and interviews with kratom industry professionals and consumers. Brian also delves into recent journal articles with kratom scientist Dr. Jonathan Cachat.
Psychedelics Today
Released weekly, this podcast explores anything and everything related to psychedelic science (we’re especially fond of episode 343, Joe’s Moore interview with our very own Soren Shade!)
Ologies
A top science podcast, not directly related to kratom (maybe we’ll see an episode on it one day in the future), but has episodes on soil science, botany, ecology, and sociocultural issues. Patreon subscribers are able to submit questions for interviewees prior to recording!
The Hamilton Morris Podcast
our founder is also the producer of this podcast, so we couldn’t leave it off of the list! Hamilton created a fantastic kratom episode for his television series on Vice a few years ago, and has had numerous conversations with kratom researchers on his podcast. Many of the podcast interviews have a video component and are available for free on YouTube or Spotify. Patreon subscribers get exclusive access to a majority of the interviews.
Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t
A plant podcast and YouTube series with a serious sense of humor, this is a great way to lose a few hours with your friends.
Want to go beyond just gifting a subscription? Set a time with your loved one to watch a video or listen to a podcast together!
Sharing a learning experience about kratom and related topics is a great gift. Jump on this opportunity if you don’t know much about kratom and want to have a better understanding. It’s a great way to gather a few different perspectives.
Don’t forget the popcorn!
9. Flavorful Kratom Herbal Tea Blend
Looking for teas with alluring flavors to spice things up a bit?
Our kratom herbal blends are perfect stocking stuffers for kratom-lovers who want to enliven their kratom routine. We have a different blend for each of the vein colors of kratom tea we offer. Every blend includes herbs and spices that boost the flavor and function of a typical kratom tea.
Does your kratom gift recipient love warm spices and relaxing herbs? Chai Unwind has a mix of red vein kratom, chamomile cinnamon, cardamom, and more. Do they like a rich chocolatey flavor? Check out our completely caffeine-free Cacao Uplift white vein blend. Are they fans of sweet or fruity flavors? Check out Tulsi Balance, our green vein blend with peach, mango, tulsi, and rooibos.
We offer 15% off bundles of 2 or more tea boxes, and 25% off bundles of 5 or more tea boxes.
10. Insulated Glass Mug for Home & Work
This sturdy borosilicate glass mug has double-wall insulation so you can properly steep your kratom tea—and look great doing it.
Regular mugs lose heat quickly, which isn’t good for making strong kratom tea. Kratom tea requires a longer steeping time than most other herbal teas.
The Office Hours Mug is minimalist and sleek. It’ll make brewing a fun, effective, and beautiful process no matter where you are. It’s the perfect mug for your home office or your cubicle at work.
An Important Note on Kratom Gift Safety
No matter where you choose to get your kratom gifts from, whether it be Top Tree or another kratom company, make sure health is at the top of your gift list this holiday season.
Not all kratom is grown and processed equally. Quality and safety are not the same amongst all products and kratom companies.
It’s easy to be swayed by steep discounts on inexpensive kratom products. While some kratom gifts have a small price tag, the initial savings could incur long-term costs to your health. Many companies can offer inexpensive products because they aren’t paying for their kratom to be tested for heavy metals and other contaminants.
Ensure you only buy your kratom gifts from a company that uses lab-tested, AKA cGMP-certified kratom. If you aren’t certain whether or not the products you’re interested in are lab-tested, email the company and ask to see their COA (certificate of analysis) for the products. Head to our blog post on kratom quality for more details and guidance.
