Father’s Day 2025 is the perfect time to celebrate dads with relaxed attitudes and great memories. If your dad enjoys cannabis, a personalized bong or handcrafted glass pipe from Tako Glass is the perfect Father’s Day gift that will make his day worth remembering. With all these options, how do you select the perfect smoking accessory? At Tako Glass, we specialize in unique glass art that is both beautiful and functional. This article provides key considerations to help you choose the perfect handblown glass pipe or custom bong for Dad, making it a Father’s Day of style and smoke.

1. Know Dad’s Cannabis Smoking Habit

The initial step towards selecting the correct glass smoking accessory is learning about how your dad smokes. Does he enjoy quick, incognito hits on the go? Or extended, laid-back sessions at home? 

For dads who are constantly on the move—whether hiking or camping—a compact spoon pipe or chillum is the best option because of its portability. Give our Purple Ghost Chillum a try, ideal for on-the-go smoking convenience. A chillum or small hand pipe is easy to stash in one’s pocket, ideal for travel or just lounging around. Tako Glass spoon pipes are durable, water-resistant, and ideal for convenience-seekers like dads.

For homebodies who want smooth, filtered toke-ingesting, a waterpipe or bong such as the 11″ Sea Ice Beaker Bong offers a superior cannabis smoking experience that appeals to their sensibilities by blending vintage design aesthetics with new glass tech. Our high-end bong collection is ideal for fathers who prefer a grounded smoking experience. Bongs are not exclusively used indoors though, and a mini bong or a glass bubbler can fill the gap as great option for a father who prefers to smoke at home as well as during travel! If your dad prefers old school glass, perhaps the Silver Fumed Mini Bong by Tako would be a good fit!

2. Consider His Cannabis Experience Level

Your father’s cannabis experience level can guide your choice. For newbies, a simple, user-friendly hammer pipe or mini bubbler will be a good option. It is simple to handle and requires minimal setup, thereby making it suitable for novice cannabis smokers, or old heads that aren’t familiar with modern glass tech. For more experienced dads, an advanced water rig or high-end bong with intricate designs might be the best bet. Something like the Cloudburst 14″ Double Perc Color Kink Bong offers a premium smoking experience and is jam packed with modern percs and function, without losing sight of more traditional glass roots.

3. Match the Glass Pipe to His Personality

A bong or glass pipe is more than a tool—it’s a declaration. Consider your dad’s personality and style. Is he creative and bold, with a flair for bright, quirky smoking accessories? The Claw Hammer Pipe features beautiful designs that are instant conversation starters. For fathers who have a classic or laid-back style, an understated frit glass spoon pipe offers sophisticated simplicity. Perhaps the Sleek Frit Spoon by Steven Baker is exactly what your father needs! Tako Glass has the range from dainty, bright artisan glass to minimalist glass styles so there is something to match each dad’s aesthetic.

4. Focus on the Quality and Durability of Glass Pipes

Dads deserve the best, and at Tako Glass, top-shelf glass pipes are our focus. Our bongs and pipes consist of thick, premium-quality borosilicate glass that ensures durability when handled carefully. For those dads who are rough on their gear, consider an industrial-strength bong like the Milkyway Crystalized Dark Blue and Silver Straight Bong which is built to last. These products are made to withstand hundreds of smoking sessions, and Tako Glass has spare parts for our own products in case accidents occur. Remind Dad to clean his glass pipe or bong regularly so it can continue to sparkle. Consider adding crucial cleaning supplies, such as Formula 420 and cleaning plugs. to make sure his glass continues looking as great as the day he received it!
