#1 - Heat Management Devices (HMDs)

AO Standard HMD with boxAO Standard HMD with box

AO Standard Aluminum HMD

For any hookah smoker still on foil, the AO Standard HMD is a great upgrade at a very affordable price.

AO HMD 912 Stainless Steel HMD with boxAO HMD 912 Stainless Steel HMD with box

AO HMD 912

If we are talking about someone more special, the AO HMD 912 is a stainless-steel premium HMD with multiple metallic finishes.

Kaloud Lotus III HMD with boxKaloud Lotus III HMD with box

Kaloud Lotus 3.0 HMD

The Kaloud Lotus 3.0 is another premium option…but at that price, it’s usually more of a gift for one’s self, unless you got those ride-or-die hookah homies in your crew.


#2 - HMD/Hookah Cleaning Sets

AO HMD and Bowl Wire Brush next to AO Wooden Handle foil puncherAO HMD and Bowl Wire Brush next to AO Wooden Handle foil puncher

I really like the Wood Handle Wire Brushes for HMD’s and bowls that can scrape off that stubborn charred shisha. Why not add the Wood Handle Foil Puncher to match the set?! 

Shaft brush, AO Boobie Brush, and bottle of Bling Cleaning SolutionShaft brush, AO Boobie Brush, and bottle of Bling Cleaning Solution

Add the AO Boobie Brush and Shaft Brush and a bottle of Bling for the total package…or just mix and match the parts that work for you.


#3 - Premium Hookah Tongs

AO Coitelo Tongs and AO Oversized TongsAO Coitelo Tongs and AO Oversized Tongs

The AO Coitelo Tongs are a super premium option with multiple metallic finishes. This is an item everyone needs, but most just settle with the cheap version included with their hookah…this is a nice upgrade that any hookah enthusiast would love.

Maybe your special someone wants a little more precise grip on their tongs. The oversized 12" AO Tweezer Tongs are extremely helpful when manipulating charcoal inside an HMD and I just think they are kinda funny too!


#4 - Hookah Charcoal Carriers

Another nice upgrade for any home hookah lounge would be the coal carrier. The Arabesk Charcoal Holder will add some class to anyone’s hookah collection. 


#5 - Ice Hookah Hoses

Smokezilla Hose & Ice Bazooka Mouth Tip with boxSmokezilla Hose & Ice Bazooka Mouth Tip with box

The Smokezilla Silicone Hose with Ice Bazooka Combo is great because you can gift a complete hose with aluminum handle, but the combo set allows for an optional Ice Hose Upgrade they can use whenever they want to smoke-n-chill.


#6 - Premium Hookah Hose Handles

AO Carbon Fiber Hose Handle and Sheeshaya Carbon Fiber Hose Handle with boxesAO Carbon Fiber Hose Handle and Sheeshaya Carbon Fiber Hose Handle with boxes

These premium hose handle upgrades will work with just about every silicone hose already on the market.  Both AO and Sheeshaya both make really nice carbon fiber hose handles that come in premium packaging that can really amp up the gift opening experience.


#7 - Coal Burners

These items can wear out with a lot of use, and there are some new options out there. The Pharaohs 600w Burner looks great, comes in a nice box and fits any budget…plus it's really useful and your special someone will use it with every session…and hopefully think of you!


#8 - Gaming Controler Hose Holders

These AO Gamer Controller Hose Holders will hold a hookah hose just inches from your mouth so it's really easy to take a rip from your hookah while you smoke some noobs at Call of Duty. They are available for Playstation 4 and Playstion 5 controllers as well as for the Xbox controllers. 


#9 - AO Glass Hookah Hose Handles

AO Round Tip and Flat Tip Glass Handle Hoookah Hoses with boxesAO Round Tip and Flat Tip Glass Handle Hoookah Hoses with boxes

#10 - HookahJohn Bowls

HookahJohn Ferris and HookahJohn Retro Harmony bowlsHookahJohn Ferris and HookahJohn Retro Harmony bowls

HookahJohn bowls are hand-made clay bowls with premium finishes and are well known and highly respected throughout the hookah community. The Ferris bowl is recommended for an HMD set up, but the Harmony bowl is also a valid option for HMD or foil (it just doesn’t have the HMD safety lip so be careful).


Bonus: Unique Hookah Accessories

Beamer hookah diffuserBeamer hookah diffuser

Silicone Hookah Diffusers

If you want to quiet down those rumbles in your hookah base and still have a smooth session, the Beamer Silicone Diffusers are your answer. 

They'll fit on any hookah downstem with their soft pliable silicone material, and they're great add-ons to upsell as well as easy stocking stuffers. They're inexpensive too so why not grab a few at a time?

Echo Hose SplitterEcho Hose Splitter

Echo Hose Splitters

If there's a single-hose hookah in front of you, you'll be passing the hose as it's tradtionally been done for centuries. BUT you do have an option to adapt that hookah to hold more than one hose with the Echo Hose Splitter

This slides into any hookah hose adapter port to allow two hoses to be plugged in at a time. 

Disassembled and assembled AO Bazooka Ice TipDisassembled and assembled AO Bazooka Ice Tip

AO Ice Bazooka Tip

Adapt any hookah hose with a removable handle into an ice hose with one of these bad boys. The AO Ice Bazooka Tip replaces the handle piece on any silicone tubing hose for instant cool sessions. Leave the removble interior ice capsule in your freezer before your session, place it into the handle exterior once it's frozen solid, and put it on your hose to rip cold clouds. 

AO Panszer Foil roll with boxAO Panszer Foil roll with box

AO Panzer Foil Roll

For hookah smokers still using foil, the AO Panzer Foil Roll makes a great gift. You'll get 25 meters (just over 80 feet) of thick foil that's cut down to the perfect width (6 inches) for loading up those hookah bowls. No more tearing off big sheets of your kitchen foil and cutting them down to size. Just rip and tear on one of these rolls.

AO Foil Puncher and Phunnel Bowl Stopper with boxAO Foil Puncher and Phunnel Bowl Stopper with box

Phunnel Bowl Stopper & Hole Punch Combo

Another great stocking stuffer is the AO Foil Poker and Phunnel Stopper combo. This one piece tool makes loading phunnel bowls a little easier with the ability to stop up the center spire hole while loading in your shisha to prevent making a mess. Slap your foil on and you already have a foil poker in hand to make those holes!
