We had the good fortune of connecting with Dani Gildemontes-Davila and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dani, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Best Friend’s House success in our first year of business can 100% be attributed to our followers; or as we like to refer to them-our besties. When you’re in the cannabis space traditional marketing efforts aren’t available to you. Hell, we can’t even show anything directly cannabis related on social media. So if it weren’t for our besties shopping small for gifts, tagging their friends in our posts, or sharing one of our TikToks, we would not be going into year 2 of BFH.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Best Friend’s House is an online marketplace that carries some of the biggest brands in weed decor. What sets us apart from others is our hand curated selection of vintage. There is nothing quite like buying a one of a kind piece knowing it might land in it’s forever home across the country.

We’re beyond proud to play a part in people breaking the stigma around cannabis consumption. So many besties DM us and let us know we’re the first bong they’ve bought or that we inspired them to consume cannabis in front of people they generally wouldn’t due to the stigma. We aim to normalize cannabis consumption in the home the same way alcohol is.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT to the other half of Best Friend’s House, Abby Dergazarian. She is BFH’s co-founder and chief creative officer and of course my best friend (yes, two best friend’s run this company). I couldn’t do this without her, I wouldn’t want to do this without her. Winning alone is not nearly as fun as winning with your best friend.
