We include products we think are useful for our readers. If you buy through links on this page, we may earn a small commission Here’s our process.

Healthline only shows you brands and products that we stand behind.

Our team thoroughly researches and evaluates the recommendations we make on our site. To establish that the product manufacturers addressed safety and efficacy standards, we:
  • Evaluate ingredients and composition: Do they have the potential to cause harm?
  • Fact-check all health claims: Do they align with the current body of scientific evidence?
  • Assess the brand: Does it operate with integrity and adhere to industry best practices?
We do the research so you can find trusted products for your health and wellness.

CBD products make great gifts because they come in various flavors, forms, and potencies. Does your partner love working out and come home from the gym with sore muscles? CBD muscle cream may help them recover. Is your Dad stressed about cooking the holiday dinner for the extended family? Some CBD gummies might take the edge off of that deep-fried turkey stress. Does your friend have a big deadline to meet at work ahead of the new year? A CBD bath bomb infused with eucalyptus may help them soak the tension away.

When shopping for CBD, it can be like the unregulated wild west. A lot of companies make claims that they cannot back up with transparent testing and data. We’ve researched and vetted products to help take the guesswork out of which CBD brands are reputable and trustworthy.

It’s also important to understand the difference between isolate, broad spectrum, and full spectrum when buying a gift.

  • Isolate: the pure refined form containing only CBD (no THC)
  • Broad spectrum: CBD that also includes other cannabinoids (may contain traces of THC)
  • Full spectrum: CBD that includes all the plant components (has 0.3% THC)

We chose these products based on criteria we think are good indicators of safety, quality, and transparency. Every brand and product featured in this gift guide has been vetted by our team for medical and business standards. Each product in this article:

  • is made by a company that provides proof of third-party testing by an ISO 17025-compliant lab
  • is made by a company that discloses the source of its hemp
  • contains no more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), according to the certificate of analysis (COA)
  • passes tests for pesticides, heavy metals, and molds, according to the COA
  • has been hands-on tested and reviewed by an editor, who received the products for free; all opinions are our own

As part of our selection process, we also considered:

  • the company’s certifications and manufacturing processes
  • product potency
  • overall ingredients

Indicators of user trust and brand reputation, such as:

  • customer reviews
  • whether the company has been subject to an FDA Warning letter
  • whether the company makes any unsupported health claims

Pricing guide

  • $ = under $30
  • $$ = $30–$50
  • $$$ = over $50

To get a full picture of the price of a product, it’s important to read labels for serving sizes, amounts, strengths, and other ingredients.

Social CBD Gummies, Peach Mango

CBD products remain a fairly new phenomenon to the market, so it would make sense that you have someone on your gift list who is still a bit unfamiliar. This product is a great way to introduce them to the benefits of CBD.

Social’s peach mango CBD gummies include 25 mg CBD per gummy and are not coated in sugar, which we like. The red raspberry gummies are also a winner in our book. These gummies are easily cut in half for any newbies who may want to slowly ramp up their CBD use.

707 Flora Balm

Based out of the Emerald Triangle in northern California, 707 Flora’s balm is a great gift for anyone with dry skin who may be interested in trying CBD skincare products. It can be used as a lip balm, hand salve, or moisturize skin that might need a little extra TLC.

We like it because it’s easy to carry along and leaves a subtle shine, but isn’t sticky or too thick. It’s just right.
