What To Get Your Favorite Slytherin This Holiday

As the time until Christmas grows shorter and shorter, your holiday to-do list only keeps getting longer. While I can't help you perfect your grandmother's famous gingerbread recipe in time for dinner or help your racist relatives see the light before the family feast, I can help you find the perfect gifts for Slytherins. The holidays are hard, but shopping for the Harry Potter fans in your life doesn't have to be.

Their love for all things Harry Potter make Potterheads among the easiest people to find a great gift for, especially if you know which Hogwarts house they belong to. If you're shopping for a Slytherin, there are a few basic things to keep in mind: they're proud of their house and their families, snakes are their favorite animal, and they prefer green and silver over every other color. Slytherins admire strong, cunning wizard, and their role models include Merlin, Severus Snape, and, recently, Albus Potter. Though they get an unfair wrap thanks to a few infamous wizards, Slytherins are resourceful and ambitious witches and wizards as brilliant as their house's gemstone, the emerald.

Slytherins are complicated characters with many different qualities and interests, but one thing holds true for them all: they love their Hogwarts house, and they love showing it off even more.

Cross one more thing off of your ever-growing holiday to-do list by getting the Potterhead in your life one of these perfect gifts for Slytherins.
