Basic Bongs Are Out: Meet The Woman-Owned Brand Revolutionizing Glass

There’s a problem. For years, our community has been forced to use boring bongs. I don’t know about you, but I’m patiently waiting until basic transparent glass pieces with random logos are a thing of the past.

With all the new technology flooding the cannabis industry, I have a question: why haven’t we seen that same innovation in the glass and accessories space? Why aren’t more consumers connecting with pieces that reflect their personality, as weird or wild as it may be?

So, I did some online digging. After several Google searches, “cute bongs” and “cherry bongs,” I stumbled upon a brand that might’ve nailed the vibe. Read on to learn more about Burning Love, their army of “custies,” and what’s currently in my cart.

Beyond its wide variety of designs, what’s most impressive about this glass and accessories shop is its commitment to the greater good. They donate 1% of sales each month to the Last Prisoner Project, and they also have a “Kitty Clink.” This cat incarceration is for bad kitties (and husbands) caught red-handed breaking a bong. Email a pic of your criminal, and you’ll get a coupon code.

It shouldn’t surprise you that this ultra-creative brand is woman-owned and operated (aside from one male employee…you go Glen Coco). What started as their first brand, A Shop For Things, expanded into two with the creation of Burning Love, born from a desire to create fashionable, functional, fun, and affordable smoking accessories.

With some previous drops, including Bugs, Girl Dinner, Bar Cart, and Coquette, Burning Love makes one thing clear. These aren’t your grandpa’s bongs made to be hidden away. These are centerpieces made to be kept clean, cherished, and literally put on a pedestal.

Let’s get to the good stuff. After some long, tedious research (someone’s gotta do the grunt work), here are my top picks from Burning Love.

It was either this or the Cherry Bong (honorable mention). While that fruity piece is a sight for sore eyes—I couldn’t justify removing this stunner from my cart. I’ve never seen such a creative piece. And from someone who enjoys their fair share of Saturday night martinis…I’m ecstatic.

This chic Martini Bong features an adorable olive percolator, a 14k gold leaf rim, and a 10mm slide. Standing at 8″ tall, all she needs is some water. Get it now and take “sipping” to the next level.

When shopping at a brand like Burning Love, there’s a rule: your glass must stay clean. Why spend your hard-earned money on a quality piece and let it rot away with bacteria? The Silicone Bong Cleaning Cap Set makes it effortless to keep your pieces spick and span.

They come in 3 different sizes, 2.75″, 1.75″, and 1.25″ in diameter, and stretch over the openings so you can shake away without making a mess. For just $10, and way more efficient than stuffing paper towels in your bong, these cleaning caps will be your saving grace now and forever.

Burning Love’s Cherry Bomb Fruit Pipe is the kind of piece that makes you wonder why more companies aren’t thinking outside the box.

This cherry-shaped pipe features TWO independent bowls (one in each cherry) so you can smoke them separately or hit both at once if you’re feeling frisky.

The carb is located on the left cherry, and the mouthpiece sits at the end of the stem. But what’s really clever about the dual-bowl design is the versatility—you can pack different strains in each cherry and switch between them, or load one for solo sessions and save the other for later.

Each piece is handmade, so variations in color, shape, and finish are part of the charm. When you’re ready to step up your glass game, this fruit pipe is waiting for a hit.
