You can’t expect to impress the rebels and contrarians in your life with basic gifts. Let’s face it: they aren’t basic people. They’re freethinking, health-conscious, and maybe even psychedelic lovers who add color to your life in ways few others do.
And these people want presents with purpose! Ethically sourced products designed by people who care about what they’re putting out in the world and want their customers to feel better thanks to their work.
So look no further than Third Wave’s psychedelic gift guide, which actually isn’t psychedelic at all. Everything on this list is fully legal and can positively impact your life and/or the lives of your loved ones.
We’ve only included gift ideas that we’ve personally vetted, so you can be sure every gift is high quality and functions as promised. In our guide, you’ll discover a DIY mushroom grow kit, futuristic wearables, herbal remedies, alcohol alternatives, and more.
A 2023 Psychedelic Gift Guide
1. Third Wave’s Mushroom Grow Kit
Third Wave’s Mushroom Grow Kit is the perfect gift for amateur mycologists who want to take mushroom sourcing into their own hands but need some help. Our kit includes everything your loved one needs to cultivate magic fungi at home—except the spores. Notably, it comes with pre-sterilized equipment that fits in your closet and ready-made soil, eliminating two lengthy and error-prone processes usually found in most standard grow kits.
Our program also includes step-by-step video instructions on successfully growing magic mushrooms and a supportive digital community of fellow amateurs to expert mycologists.
The shroom lover in your life will thank you for this gift that keeps on giving—three to four harvests, to be precise.
You’re in luck. Use the code GIFTGUIDE15 for 15% off our Mushroom Grow Kit (or any of our products found in the Shop tab). The only catch is that this code expires on January 2nd.
And you need to know that Third Wave does not include spores in our grow kit for legal reasons. That said, we highly recommend Lab Link Supplies for psilocybin spore shipments within the US.

2. Third Wave’s 45-Day Microdosing Challenge
Microdosing has the potential to become one of the world’s most potent tools for optimal living and integrated transformation. When done right, this practice can open new doors to how you experience and interact with yourself, your work, those around you, and the world at large.
Microdosing is not an escape from reality. Instead, it’s a skill and tool to enhance and improve your existence.
Third Wave’s Microdosing Challenge combines teaching, live calls, group coaching, and intentional self-exploration with creative exercises and a supportive community to support you in creating real, lasting change.
Third Wave’s Microdosing Challenge is for you if:
You’re curious about microdosing but anxious or uncertain about starting on your own
You’re looking to wean off psychiatric or big pharma medications in a holistic way
You’re ready to generate more flow and increase your capacity to perform at the highest level
You’re looking for a boost in your cognitive abilities, like focus, memory, and decision-making
You’re ready to become more social through better communication on topics that may feel difficult to talk about
So consider this your invitation to a 45-day journey where you’ll become part of a curated environment designed for authentic connection with yourself and this community while experiencing the benefits of microdosing.
3. Magi – Ancestral Supplements for The Good Mind
The perfect gift for a friend or family member who won’t stop harassing you about trying meditation. We all have that person in our life who can’t get enough of sitting still and observing their own thoughts.
And, obviously, we can’t deny they’re even more fun to hang around since going all in on meditation.
Magi Ancestral Supplements are unique nootropics crafted by experts in ethnopharmacology, neuroscience, and phytochemistry. These potent nootropics are inspired by Haoma, the legendary elixir of truth, and contain Espand, a sacred plant rich in beta-carbolines, once utilized by ancient Iranian priests.
Their flagship product, Stard Deep Meditation Aid, is made to be used before meditation to cultivate heightened consciousness and expanded awareness.

4. Apollo Neuro – The Wearable Psychedelic for Nervous System Regulation
Why buy another Apple Watch or overpriced hoodie when your favorite wellness buff would much rather have a biohacking wearable?
Apollo Neuro is a novel wearable that sends soothing vibrations from the wrist through the body, calming the nervous system and enhancing your loved one’s sleep quality, focus, and heart rate.
Designed by Dr. David Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist with a Ph.D. in neuroscience, Apollo Neuro harnesses sensory technology to mimic the calming effects of real human touch.
Apollo Neuro users can choose from seven settings depending on their wellness goals. Energy and Wake Up settings unleash energizing pulses, while Relax and Unwind release gentle frequencies to shift the nervous system from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest.”

Kanna Extract creates products that are energizing, heartwarming, and socially uplifting. So they’re perfect for those conscious consumers looking to still have fun AND feel great the next day. Because who says you can’t have a great time and feel good the following morning? We believe in having your cake and eating it, too.

6. New Brew – Ancient Plants Packed into a Euphoric Setlzer For Balance, Focus, and Good Times
And for those who aren’t ready to kick the pleasure of drinking something tasty and bubbly and have you feeling something, we bring you New Brew. This non-alcoholic, euphoric seltzer with effects you can feel.
New Brew was created to reintroduce plants into the ceremony of connecting and socializing over a bubbly beverage. Their first beverage features two plants: kratom leaf and kava root. Kratom and kava are powerful plants with real effects, which is why they have found a place in human cultures for thousands of years. But they are new to most Americans.
This caffeinated beverage is for adults only and offers calm energy, relaxation, mood elevation, heart opening, and pain relief. Imagine that: you can drink something in a social setting that makes you feel better in the moment and the following days.
So, if you’re ready to drink responsibly with this non-alcoholic elixir, you can save 25% using code THIRDWAVE25 at checkout.
7. CALM – Amanita muscaria Elixir for Stress Relief and Restful Sleep
As they say: the morning is won the night before. Or, as Psyched Wellness says, sleep-care is self-cafe. And what can help you sleep better? You guessed it. Mushrooms.
Even if you didn’t guess mushrooms, that’s why we’re here. To inform you of the life-changing benefits of plants and mushrooms, whether they’re psychoactive or not.
So we’re introducing you to CALM, an Amanita muscaria tincture crafted with care to help alleviate tension, reduce stress, and rejuvenate your sleep. Their formula has been lab-tested, purified, and deemed safe for consumption.
This is for you or those in your life who have tried this CBD tincture, that white-noise tool, and have the sounds of the rain, ocean, or jungle on repeat to help them fall asleep. CALM is a perfect gift for those who just want to sleep through the night…
Nothing else has helped me sleep like this, and I mean NOTHING. – Amy, Third Wave Community Member

8. Neurohacker Collective – Creating the Ultimate Nootropics
Neurohacker Collective was founded in 2015 to create best-in-class well-being products by employing a unique methodology for research and development based on complex systems science.
And let us tell you, they have something for everyone… this is truly the one-stop-shop for products to support focus, healthy aging, energy, sleep, digestion, stress relief, and more. Lucky you, as our community gets 15% off any purchase with code TW15.
Their scientific approach focuses on supporting the body’s self-regulating ability rather than overriding regulatory systems with chemicals designed to move a biomarker in a particular direction.
Neurohacker Collective began with a focus on cognitive products with the launch of its Qualia nootropic line and continues to provide comprehensive products for overall peak performance.
So whether you’re the peak performer in your friend group or family unit or you’re close with the serial biohacker, this is the place to go.
9. BIoptimizers – The Benefits of Magnesium for Improved Sleep & Wellness
If mushrooms, kanna, or kratom aren’t your thing, we won’t judge. That’s why we’re ending our list with a simple gift. One that won’t raise eyebrows. And that is BIOptimizers and their Magnesium Breakthrough supplement.
Magnesium is a crucial mineral that is vital to our overall health, yet 80% of Americans are deficient in it.
BiOptimizers is dedicated to helping individuals enhance their well-being and rest by providing a magnesium supplement that is carefully formulated to optimize absorption and improve sleep and overall wellness quickly.
And they’re so confident in their products that they offer a full refund for 365 days after your order. If you don’t see results, simply claim a refund, no questions asked. Shop now & save 10%. No code needed.
Our Psychedelic Gift Guide Takeaway
This was never going to be your average holiday gift guide. If you’re looking for average gifts, you read the wrong guide. While we didn’t share bestsellers, the newest Apple tech, or whatever Elon Musk is making, the gifts we’ve shared have the genuine potential to make someone feel better, replace unhealthy habits, support better rest, and ultimately, become people you actually enjoy spending time with.
