Comedian, screenwriter, and entrepreneur – Seth Rogen has many talents. Most recently, in March of 2019, Rogen founded Houseplant, a high-end cannabis accessory company that prioritizes items for the home. Alongside Evan Goldberg and Michael Mohr, Rogen began designing objects such as ashtrays and lighter holders. What’s unique about these products is that they are all made of pottery.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the United States, most of us took up new hobbies. For some it was baking or cooking, for others it was knitting or crocheting. However, for Rogen, it was pottery. He dove headfirst into the art of pottery and began posting his different creations on social media, sharing his new passion with the public.
This quickly snowballed into something more. His love for pottery began to mesh with his passion for cannabis, realizing that the two could effortlessly intertwine. This was the beginning of Houseplant. When you open the Houseplant website, you are immediately sucked in by all the unique pieces and designs. From ashtrays to lighters to everyday household items, Houseplant has it. Let’s take a closer look at some of our favorite pieces.
Are you tired of the boring ashtray sitting in your smoking area? So are we. This Gloopy Ashtray is the perfect way to spice up your accessories. Being one of Houseplant’s most popular items, it is hard to keep this piece in stock. As of right now, Houseplant is offering two color options: Yellow with Aqua spots and Teal with Lilac spots. The gloopy glaze series, invested by Rogen himself, is limited edition. What’s unique about this piece is that it has a resting notch, perfect for a joint or blunt. The Gloopy Ashtray also has a deep ash-catching well that makes emptying it less tedious. This ashtray is around $285, making it more of an expensive piece that is perfect for treating yourself or someone you love.
If you’re looking to spice up your more simple smoking accessories, such as lighters, Houseplant Matches are the perfect way. As someone who collects different types of matches, this spoke to me immediately. It comes with 10 matchboxes, which is 400 total matches and is only $28. This colorful match set is perfect for spicing up your lighter collection, lying around the house for candles, or whatever else you might want to light!
If you’re looking for an ashtray that makes relaxing a lot easier, the Standing Ashtray is definitely for you. It’s the perfect height to be able to sit in your favorite chair and conveniently have an ashtray right next to you. This piece has a more modern, classy look to it, with its dark brown, walnut base. The thin, gold pole that comes out of the base adds a sleek element to the ashtray. This piece is far from the $10 ashtray you’re using from your local smoke shop. At $295, it is definitely a more expensive addition to your smoking collection.
The perfect piece to satisfy any cravings for nostalgia, the Car Lighter mimics the popular style of lighter in old cars. Instead of this lighter being in an old car, it is featured in a sleek, unique slab of marble. Available in two colors, grey and green, this piece is definitely more mature than some of the other options on the Houseplant website. Wondering how it works? Just think back to a classic car lighter. Press the round lighter into the base of the marble lab, wait a few seconds, and watch it gently pop up once it has reached the appropriate level of heat. This piece is around $280, with each product being unique due to the marble material.
Looking to spice up your communal smoke seshes? Check out the Party Ashtray. Houseplant is choosing to market this with the saying, “Two’s a crowd. Three’s a party,” which is a great way, to sum up this ashtray. With its circle shape, three joint notches, and deep ash-catching well, this is the perfect piece for a group sesh. This ashtray can hold more than three joints worth of ash, which prevents the tedious task of emptying it. It comes with a saucer that functions as an additional ashtray, in case you are having a much larger party. At around $130, it is one of the cheaper Houseplant pieces, with the included discount code, “PARTYTIME” that gives you an additional 20% off at checkout.
If you have been wanting to splurge on some nicer, more unique smoking accessories, Houseplant is the brand to look at. These ashtrays and lighters will certainly be more eye-catching and attention-grabbing than your normal accessories!
