10 Best Gifts For Psychonauts

Are you looking to treat the psychonaut in your life? Whether this is a friend, a family member, or even yourself, there are plenty of psychedelic gifts that are bound to do the trick. What's more, at Zamnesia, there's a product to suit all preferences and budgets. So, whether you're looking to push the boat out and spend big or pick up something small, we've got you covered.

What makes a great gift for a psychonaut?

Derived from the Greek words for “mind” (psyche) and “sailor” (nautikos), “psychonaut” quite literally translates to “mind-sailor”. These individuals are all about exploring the power of the mind, often through the use of hallucinogens and other psychedelic means. To help your friends (or yourself) tap into their philosophical or spiritual sides, we’ve assembled a list of gifts that will cater to the curiosities of all manner of psychonauts.

10 must-have gifts for psychonauts

Without further ado, let’s break down 10 must-have gifts for any psychonaut. From seeds, to shroom kits, to incense—we’ve got it all!

1. LSA seeds

As an indole alkaloid produced in various plants, typically accumulating in the seeds, lysergic acid amide can produce strong visual effects akin to LSD. Available from different plants, from Hawaiian baby woodrose to morning glory and beyond, LSA seeds vary in strength, making it possible to tailor the experience to your prospective gift receiver.

Steeped in a rich history, LSA seeds were traditionally used in Mayan ceremonies. However, in modern times, they are typically harnessed recreationally for their LSD-like qualities. Often eaten on an empty stomach, LSA seeds have the potential to produce uplifting sensations as well as an elevated mood, making for a psychedelic experience that is easily manageable.

2. Mushroom grow kits

For the psychonaut that's mad about psilocybin, mushroom grow kits could very well be the perfect gift. These kits are effortless to set up and yield great results; simply put, they are (almost) foolproof. So if you or your recipient have never grown mushrooms before, this is the perfect place to start. Available in a wide range of varieties, each strain varies in potency, so browse the kits on offer to see which is most suitable.

When it comes to the growing environment, there are mushroom grow kits to suit both indoor and outdoor settings. However, in some scenarios, a heat mat may be required to provide consistent temperatures to help your shrooms flourish. Don't worry; we've got you there too.

That's not all; there are even tobacco, khat, and ma huang seeds to scratch that growing itch. There's plenty to discover with our SMART seeds, and they won't break the bank! Ideal for a smaller gift.

4. Salvia divinorum

Every self-respecting psychonaut is familiar with Salvia divinorum. Whether they've tried it themselves or just read about it, this plant is seen as a rite of passage for many a psychedelic enthusiast. However, it's certainly not for the faint of heart. Salvia divinorum is considered to be one of the most powerful psychoactive plants, and should be treated with respect. Thankfully, there are varying levels of potency, so it's easy to find a salvia product to suit your gift receiver.

Whether purchased in the form of an extract or the dried leaves themselves, there are plenty of ways to use Salvia divinorum, opening the user up to an array of effects ranging from mild to extremely powerful. If your gift receiver is open to a mind-expanding and unforgettable experience, consider giving the gift of salvia.

5. The Magic Mushroom User's Guide

For the psychonaut that wants to delve a little deeper into the “how” and “why” of magic mushrooms, The Magic Mushroom User's Guide makes for an easygoing yet detailed explanation of how magic mushrooms work, as well as the history behind them. Whether an absolute beginner or an advanced psychonaut, there's something for everyone in this book.

Divided into three sections, the first deals with the essential information on taking magic mushrooms. The second expands on the information, helping users to understand shrooms further.

6. Incense sticks

Ideal for setting the perfect environment for a psychedelic experience, incense sticks provide an aromatic and relaxing experience for all. Available in a huge range of scents to suit all preferences, simply light a stick when the mood takes you, and allow the aroma to wash over your senses.

Not only ideal for setting the scene when it comes to tripping, incense sticks are perfect for that post-trip reflection. Allow you or your gift receiver to reach a meditative and serene state after consuming magic mushrooms.

7. Magic mushroom spore syringes

The gift that truly keeps on giving, magic mushroom spore syringes are the next step up from grow kits. These packed spore syringes come in a variety of strains and are prepared in sterile laboratory conditions, meaning that every one is expertly made and bound to produce outstanding results. These syringes are long-lasting, so there's no rush for psychonauts to prepare a grow.

All that's needed is some substrate and a magic mushroom grow bag, and you're good to go. By using the grow bag's port, users can directly inject the spores into the bag effortlessly and safely. Once the spores are inside, they can work their magic and produce some mycelium that'll be ready to use before you know it. Easy.

8. Peyote

With use dating back well over 5,700 years, peyote has become very much synonymous with all things psychedelic, and for some great reasons. Now you can pick up a potted peyote that makes the perfect gift for any psychonaut. Of course, it makes for great decoration in the home, but the alkaloid-rich buttons can be cut off and harvested. From here, they can be chewed fresh or dried, or brewed into tea.

Although known to have an extremely bitter taste, the payoff of peyote is its ability to provide strong psychoactive effects. Best taken on an empty stomach, there's plenty for psychonauts to discover with peyote.

9. Magic truffles Valhalla

As the best-selling and most potent variety of magic truffle available from Zamnesia, Valhalla has certainly made a name for itself, and is hugely popular amongst the psychonaut community. Awarded 6 stars out of the 5-star rating, Valhalla produces some of the most intense effects, culminating in a profound psychedelic experience.

Best consumed on an empty stomach, it takes around 30–60 minutes for psychonauts to feel the effects of Valhalla. For the true psychonaut, these magic truffles are next-level, and unlike anything your gift recipient has experienced in the past, we can guarantee it.

10. Trip pack

If you're still short on ideas, why not put together your own "trip pack" that's full of products geared toward providing a great psychedelic experience? It's easy to get plenty of bang for your buck. By purchasing a few separate items such as a selection of 2x truffles (of your choosing), 2x trippy glasses (for visual stimulation), 1x Trip Stopper (just in case!), and 1x incense (for setting the mood), you can create a personalised trip pack for around €50–60.

Creating your own trip pack makes for arguably the best segue into the world of psychedelics. So if you've got a budding psychonaut that's looking for their way in, this is easily the best way to do so. Furthermore, you can tailor the experience even more by selecting milder truffles, helping to ease your friends into unfamiliar territory.
