What can I gift hookah smokers for Christmas?
Still looking for a Christmas present for your favourite hookah smoker? Let this gift guide inspire you!
The pre-Christmas season can be really stressful: baking cookies, decorating Christmas trees, having to drink mulled wine at the Christmas market with an annoying colleague, and the immense pressure of finding the perfect gift for your loved ones. Of course, the togetherness during the most beautiful celebration of the year is what makes it so special for us, but giving and receiving gifts is a lovely, albeit secondary tradition. This is why many people ask themselves every year: How do I find the perfect gift for my loved ones? For me, gifting is all about thinking about the recipient. Every year, we go on the hunt for a special joy we can bring to others – the material value doesn’t matter; it’s the thought behind it that counts.
Often, after a short period of thinking, I quickly come up with something suitable, but some people are really hard to shop for, or I have the basic idea but no clue where to find the vision I have in my mind. For all family members and friends of passionate shisha smokers, I am writing these lines. With this little Christmas gift guide for shisha smokers, you’ll be well-prepared and are sure to find the perfect gift for the shisha tobacco enthusiast in your family or even the great-aunt with the IQOS device.
How is gifting done at Christmas in Germany?
Since we’re already talking about Christmas gifts, let’s use this opportunity to take a look at some facts and figures about how gifting is done during Christmas in Germany. According to a survey from November this year, vouchers or cash gifts are among the most popular presents in Germany. About half of the respondents plan to give vouchers or cash for Christmas this year. Shortly behind follow food items like sweets and toys.1
With a voucher as a Christmas gift, you can never go wrong, but let’s be honest: vouchers or cash are never really original gifts – no matter the occasion. Thoughtful gifts show the recipient that you know them well and have considered their preferences. But there’s good news for those struggling to find the right gift: Starting next year, we’ll also offer vouchers for our online shop directly in-store!
How much do Germans spend on Christmas?
And now, some fun facts about the spending behavior of Germans during the Christmas season: The planned spending per capita on Christmas gifts in Germany for 2024 has risen to €533.20. This was revealed by a survey of over 65,000 respondents – for comparison: last year, the amount was €507.01.2 Additionally, more and more employees under collective bargaining agreements receive a substantial Christmas bonus for buying gifts: This year, 85.8% of all employees covered by such agreements will receive an average of €2,987 gross, which is 6.3% more than last year.3 However, the amount of this annual special payment strongly depends on the industry. In the Christmas season, Germans are also the most generous when it comes to donations: According to the German Donation Council, December accounts for 20% of annual donation volumes.4
What can you give shisha smokers for Christmas?
Now to the big question: What’s the perfect gift for shisha smokers at Christmas? How can you bring joy to a shisha smoker? Since people are incredibly individual, the answer to this question is logically just as varied. But the following suggestions can serve as inspiration. Just browse through the linked categories and product pages and make your search for Christmas gifts for shisha smokers easier this year!
A new eye-catcher for the beloved shisha
A new shisha bowl in the lucky recipient’s favorite color is always a safe gift for shisha smokers because you can never have enough of those small colorful clay vessels as a shisha tobacco lover. How about a classic Hookain Popo Rokoko in a festive red or one of the legendary Low Load Phunnel bowls? Traditional enthusiasts of shisha tobacco might prefer a chic multi-hole bowl. In our online shop, you’ll find a huge selection of models and colorways from us and other manufacturers – there’s something for every taste.
The dream of a console owner
Attention, here comes the hot tip for all shisha smokers who also enjoy gaming during a shisha session: a gaming adapter for the shisha hose. A friend of mine, who fits the above profile perfectly, regularly sent me annoyed WhatsApp messages describing how his tobacco burned before he could properly enjoy it because he was too engrossed in his video game. After I lost count of these incidents, I took action and secretly sent him a gaming adapter for his PlayStation – after that, I never heard about this problem again. The adapters are simply attached to the controller, and the hose can be easily clicked in. They are available for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One – for maximum comfort during a cozy session in front of the TV.
Small gifts with a big fun factor
If you’re looking for a small add-on gift or want to create a set of shisha products, the coloring agents from XSchischa are an excellent choice: a little colorful powder with which shisha smokers can color the water in their bowl (there are even glittery versions!). For Christmas, I particularly recommend the color “White Sparkle”.
Also, a delightful gift with a guaranteed smile: Our 3D-printed shisha sleeves, made in-house. These are simply placed between the bowl and the charcoal tray, giving the shisha an extraordinary and playful look that makes any shisha stand out.
Luxurious shisha enjoyment for big budgets
If you’ve set aside a larger budget for Christmas gifts and have a shisha smoker to gift, I highly recommend a Steamulation shisha as a high-end gift. Steamulation pipes are in the higher price range and are renowned in the shisha industry for their high-quality craftsmanship. Additionally, Steamulation regularly introduces innovative and even patented features that enhance the overall smoking experience. The manufacturer stands for luxury, technology, and elegance. My personal favorite is the new Pure Series from Steamulation – the color “Lavender Matt Metallic” has particularly captivated me.
