A Cann gift guide works because the brand solved the hardest part of gifting a drink: the recipient does not have to already like the category. The flavors read like a cocktail menu, the strengths are clearly separated, and there is a genuine THC-free line, so there is a right box for almost everyone on a list.
Here are the bundles and samplers worth wrapping, who each one suits, and the details to check before you order. All contents and strengths below are Cann's published figures.
The safest gift on the list: the Seasonal Starter Pack
When you do not know someone's taste, give them the choice. The Seasonal Starter Pack contains all three award-winning core flavors, Blood Orange Cardamom, Lemon Lavender, and Grapefruit Rosemary, plus the limited-edition Yuzu Elderflower.
Cann describes it as a flavor for every mood with a seasonal twist, and as a gift that is exactly the right property. The recipient discovers their own favorite instead of politely finishing yours. The limited-edition Yuzu Elderflower also gives the box something they cannot casually pick up later, which is a quietly useful thing in a gift.
Best for: a first-time recipient, a housewarming, or anyone who says they are curious but has not bought any yet.
The stocking-filler: the Roadie Sampler
Listed as a $20 value, the Roadie Sampler is four pocket-sized Roadies, one of each of Blood Orange Cardamom, Lemon Lavender, Grapefruit Rosemary, and Ginger Lemongrass. Each packet holds a microdose of 2mg THC and 4mg CBD, and the preparation is simply adding seltzer.
It is small, light, and cheap enough to be an add-on rather than a main gift, which makes it ideal for stockings, secret-santa caps, or tucking into a bigger box of drinks. It travels well too, so it suits anyone you are sending on a trip.
One practical note: because Roadies need seltzer, this is a better gift with a bottle of soda water than on its own.
The thoughtful gift for someone not drinking: the 0mg bundle
This is where a Cann gift stops being generic. The 0mg range is not the same drink with the THC removed, it is reformulated: Cann describes electrolytes in the mix, passion flower behind what it calls that infectious lust for life, and L-theanine holding the whole thing together. The brand specifies that the passion flower is exclusive to Blood Orange Cardamom and Lemon Lavender.
Each 0mg box holds four 12oz cans, and the 0mg bundle collects more than one flavor. There is also a Half & Half 0mg, which keeps the still, bergamot-and-yerba-mate profile without the THC.
Best for: anyone taking a break from alcohol, a host building a non-alcoholic shelf, or the friend who always ends up as the designated driver. It is a considerably better gift than sparkling water and reads as thoughtful rather than consolation. Our roundup of the best non-alcoholic functional drinks has more options in the same spirit.
The gift for the one who has tried everything: Half & Half
If your recipient already drinks functional beverages regularly, give them the one that is different. Half & Half is Cann's signature drink with Dwyane Wade, described as bright with bergamot, grounded by yerba mate, and caffeinated without being chaotic. It has no bubbles, which makes it the only still option in a shelf full of seltzers.
One box holds four 12oz cans at 3mg THC each, and the Half & Half Bundle scales it up. Because it carries caffeine, it also lands differently as a gift than the rest of the range, which is worth knowing if your recipient avoids caffeine in the evening.
Best for: golfers, iced-tea drinkers, and the friend whose fridge already has four brands of seltzer in it. Current box sizes are listed at Cann.
The summer gift: the Summer of Squirt Bundle
The biggest, most generous-looking box for the money is the Summer of Squirt Bundle. It includes 12-packs of Blood Orange Cardamom Roadie, Lemon Lavender Roadie, and Grapefruit Rosemary Roadie, all at 2mg THC, plus the Naked Hi Boy at 5mg THC.
Cann pitches it as packing Roadies for summertime activities so there is always a little microdose magic in your pocket. As a gift, the appeal is volume in a small footprint: 36 packets is a whole season of drinks that fits in a drawer.
Best for: a group gift, a birthday in the warmer months, or someone heading into a summer of festivals and beach days.
The gift for the experienced: the HI'ER BOY Bundle
Give this one only to someone whose tolerance you actually know. Cann is direct about it: HI'ER BOY is dosed with 10mg of THC and is "intended for the highly tolerant and delicious as ever," with the brand saying one "will give you a strong wave of joy."
The bundle contains 16 12oz cans, four each of Blood Orange Cardamom, Yuzu Elderflower, Grapefruit Rosemary, and Ginger Lemongrass. There is also a single HI'ER BOY listed as a $41 value, which makes a better gift for someone you are less sure about.
Best for: an experienced recipient who has told you what they like. For everyone else, step down a rung. Our guide to choosing a THC seltzer strength explains how the tiers differ.
How to build a Cann gift box
If you would rather assemble something than send a single bundle, the range makes that easy, because the formats stack neatly.
- Start with a flavor spread. The Seasonal Starter Pack or a Variety Pack gives the box its centre and covers the three core flavors.
- Add the pocket format. A Roadie Sampler at 2mg THC and 4mg CBD per packet turns a fridge gift into a travel gift, and it is the piece people actually take with them.
- Include the seltzer. Roadies are made by adding seltzer, so a bottle of soda water is the difference between a usable gift and a pending errand.
- Finish with something they cannot buy casually. The limited-edition Yuzu Elderflower, or the still Half & Half with its bergamot and yerba mate, both do this job.
The one rule worth keeping: do not mix strengths without labelling them. A box containing 2mg Roadies, a 3mg Half & Half, and a 10mg HI'ER BOY needs a note, because the packaging design across the range is deliberately consistent and the milligram figure is the only thing separating them.
Gifts by recipient, at a glance
- The curious beginner: Seasonal Starter Pack, or the Roadie Sampler if you want to spend less.
- The traveller: Roadie Sampler or the Summer of Squirt Bundle, both pocket-sized and light.
- The non-drinker: the 0mg bundle, or the Half & Half 0mg for something still rather than sparkling.
- The host: a Variety Pack for the table, so guests choose their own flavor.
- The experienced: the HI'ER BOY Bundle at 10mg, or a single HI'ER BOY listed as a $41 value if you want to test the water first.
Before you order
Three things save a gift from going wrong.
- Check shipping to their address. Hemp-derived THC drinks are regulated state by state, so confirm on Cann's site that it delivers where your recipient lives before you build a gift around it.
- Match the rung, not the size. A 4-pack at the right strength beats a 16-can bundle at the wrong one. The ladder runs 2mg Roadie, 3mg Half & Half, 5mg Naked Hi Boy, 10mg HI'ER BOY, plus 0mg.
- Use the first-order discount. Cann promotes 15% off your first order, which is worth applying to the larger bundles rather than a sampler.
Browse the current bundles and pick a box at Cann. If you are assembling a wider food and drink hamper, our gourmet food and drink gifts you can ship guide pairs well with any of these.
