There's one name that is undeniably known throughout the world when it comes to flavored shisha tobacco: Al Fakher!

With a design refresh in 2021, Al Fakher now boasts sleek black packaging and modern graphics across all of their collection while maintaining the same great flavor formulas that shisha smokers know and love. Over the past year new blends arrived like California Citrus Breeze and Georgia Peach Pie, and they also released the highly anticipated Shisha Kartel line with six new, unique mixes.

Offering a variety of sizes such as 50g boxes, 250g jars, and 1000g tubs, this budget friendly, easy to use line of tobacco makes it an ideal gift for both beginners and hookah veterans.

One of the ideal shisha tobacco brands for beginner hookah smokers, Fumari shisha opens up a world of unique flavor blends ranging from sweet gummi bears, breakfast muffins, robust coffee, and everything inbetween.

Known as a "blonde leaf" tobacco, Fumari's bold flavors are low in nicotine and easy to smoke, allowing new hookah fans to easily enjoy this extensive collection without an overwhelming head buzz. And for a shisha option that is under $10 USD, we think the 100g pouches make great stocking stuffers!

Originating in Turkey, Adalya's great tasting range of flavors such as Lady Killer, Exeagelado, and the world famous Love 66 shisha provide hookah smokers with a whole new collection of shisha to explore. Adalya's bold tastes and stellar performance makes it a great gift choice for those just starting out in hookah as well as long time veterans of the hobby.

Al Fakher is one of the longest running and most popular brands out there for shisha tobacco. Now you can get the same premium quality in charcoal from this favorite brand! 

When these charcoals arrived on our shelves we immediately had to try them and we were not let down! You can pick up Al Fakher natural coals in boxes of 36, 72, 144, and 10KG sized boxes. They are cube shaped at 25mm x 25mm x 25mm and have a high carbon content which translate to a hotter, long-lasting heat. 

Hookah smokers might be the ONLY people in the world who would be excited to see lumps of coal in their stocking, so whether or not the shisha smoker in your life has been naughty or nice, you may as well make sure its a quality one!

Easily the most popular quick-lighting hookah charcoal out there, Three Kings coals get your hookah smoking in no time. To light Three Kings coals all you need is an open flame to kick start the accelerant within!

A hookah smoker can always use extra coals and these make a great add-on to any gift.

Okay okay, so a charcoal burner isn't technically charcoal, but we think it still fits!

Necessary in order to light natural hookah coals, and makes lighting quick-lighting coals even easier, coal burners are one of the single most utility focused accessories on the hookah market.

Easily one of our favorite accessories to make this list, the washable Galaxy silicone hose provides some of the greatest value when it comes to hookah accessories. We cannot stress how important having a washable hose is when it comes to experiencing great tasting smoke sessions, and with a price tag under $20, you'd be hard pressed to find a better, more cost effective option.

Featuring a comfortable aluminum handle, pliable soft-touch silicone hose tubing, and a variety of color options to choose from, the Galaxy hose makes an exceptional, versatile gift for anyone who smokes hookah.

When you're just getting started with a hookah setup of your own, one of the simplest, and most budget friendly, ways to elevate your hookah sessions is through the use of an upgraded bowl, specifically a phunnel style bowl! The sheer amount of bowl options and price points on the market can certainly cause someone to feel overwhelmed, but that's where the Swift hookah bowl comes in!

Serving as a fantastic introduction to the world of phunnel bowls, the simplistic ceramic design is compatible with every hookah we carry while the phunnel style spire (with added airflow channels) helps trap the liquid flavoring from shisha, ultimately resulting in more flavorful, longer lasting sessions as compared to most stock hookah bowls. And to top it all off, the Swift bowl comes in under $15 USD making it one of the best budget upgrades for a hookah beginner to receive!
