Since hemp-derived CBD has exploded onto the health and wellness scene—and now that it's legal, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill—it's understandable that you'd want to try it out for yourself. But with everyone from Martha Stewart to the local bodega getting in on the cannabidiol game, it can be hard to figure out what's legit and what's just hype.
We researched, test drove, and talked to experts about the items that offer the best return on your CBD investment and narrowed it down to 12 products. From oils to bath bombs, here are the CBD gifts—for yourself or someone else—worth your hard-earned bucks.
With a whopping 1,500 mg of CBD per 1 oz jar—just one dropper of this hemp oil is 16 mg—take this tincture 30 minutes before bed and you'll be in a peaceful dreamland before you can say "cannabidiol."
It looks like a car key, but it's a vape! TribeTokes is a woman-owned company that makes taking CBD accessible and chic. This kit has everything you need (battery and CBD cartridge) to begin your vape journey.
This rose quartz roller comes with 500 mg of CBD and fits in your purse, for topical application any time you want. Roll it on when you need a little moisture, some relief with a blend of CBD and essential oils, or even just a splash of soothing smells.
If a more, shall we say, classic CBD consuming experience is your style, then this pack of pre-rolled smokeable hemp should do the trick. They're co-created by Marie Claire contributor Charlotte Palermino of Nice Paper, so you know they're legit.
Potli's raw honey would be perfect for putting in your nighttime chamomile tea to add that extra dose of relaxation, no? With 10 mg of CBD per tablespoon, it'll definitely help the medicine go down.
CBD fans often cite the substance's ability to reduce pain and inflammation, so CBD headache rollers make a lot of sense. This Sagely one is both reasonably priced and contains things like peppermint, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils for added natural relief.
This personal lubricant not only does what it says on the label, but is also purity tested and made of sustainably grown hemp (and other plants that are said to act as aphrodisiacs) from the U.S.A. You should be able to feel good about feeling good.
First of all, these CBD bath salts come in incredibly chic packaging that look great in your bathroom. Even better, they also contain marjoram, magnesium, rosemary, and yarrow, for muscle relief and yummy smells, which means they could level-up your next bath for even greater relaxation. And really, what's more chic than treating yourself?
Speaking of awesome packaging, each bottle of Lord Jones roll-on body oil comes with 100 mg of CBD locked and loaded. Apply all over your body with the massaging rollerball applicator and then enjoy your skin's new, chilled out glow.
If you're not sure whether you want to commit to living the Vape Life, let Curaleaf's disposable hemp vape pen ease you into it. Infused with vanilla and ylang ylang and containing 225 mg of CBD per pen, it's a delicious-tasting, super relaxing vape that you don't have to feel bad about using up.
Throwing a fizzy, relaxing bath bomb in your tub is the height of luxury. Add CBD to that equation and you're basically Beyoncé. In 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg options (the 200 mg is pictured), these Life Elements bath bombs are also filled with eucalyptus, honey, ylang ylang, and oatmeal to ease your weary muscles and make your skin baby soft.
Want a little something sweet with your CBD? With a hearty 25mg of CBD per piece, these yummy (and vegan!) edibles aren't your childhood gummy bear (but still taste just as good). ••• For more stories like this, including celebrity news, beauty and fashion advice, savvy political commentary, and fascinating features, sign up for the Marie Claire newsletter.
