About us
Would you believe us if we told you that the founder of West Coast Gifts discovered the magic of color changing glass pipes while following the Grateful Dead across North America in the early ‘90s? You can’t make this stuff up. But seriously, our Founder Howard (“H”) Franklin knew he had found something special and made it his mission to spread the word about color changing glass pipes from coast to coast. Soon, H’s pipes were flying off the shelves at every store he could stock. From blowing and selling glass while following the Grateful Dead in 1991, to launching the first brand of color-changing glass pipes in the world, to becoming one of N America’s largest smoking accessory distributors today, it really has been an amazing journey, and continues to be an awesome ride! West Coast Gifts is N. America's premier distributor of glass smoking accessories and vaporizers. We offer over 7,000 internationally recognized branded products under one roof, in stock and ready to ship within 24-48 hours.

American rock legends the Grateful Dead have partnered with GEAR Premium® to deliver an exceptional collection of never-before-seen accessories. These new releases not only represent the timeless style of the Grateful Dead but also the inception of West Coast Gifts. Started by founder Howard Franklin in 2003, the pipe dream of West Coast Gifts began during the early 90s while on tour with the Grateful Dead. After selling t-shirts and stickers to pay his way, Howard began learning about the magic of handblown glass and released his first catalogue of smoking accessories in 1994 before moving his business to Vancouver in 2002. Through decades of pushing the limits of the cannabis accessory industry, Howard’s passion for the Grateful Dead has inspired his journey every step of the way. Grateful Dead x GEAR Premium® is more than a collaboration, it’s an achievement of a lifetime. Jam out to the greatest hits of glass with new releases including a limited-edition collectible GEAR Premium® Sidekick Water Pipe with only 420 available worldwide. Find these pieces of Americanna smoking history today at West Coast Gifts and coming soon to https://gearglass.com/.
