This Post Is All About the Harry Potter Aesthetic Gift Guide in 2021
10. House Mashup Books
This colorful set of hardcover Harry Potter books is amazing, and it features the colors of all four Hogwarts houses. If you are only a fan of one house in particular, you have the option to buy the books individually, too. It’s a shame that there is only one Slytherin book, though. I can imagine this being on almost anyone’s bookshelf. And it’s so cute, you just might want to pass it down to your future kids someday.
9. Cauldron Ring Candle
A lot of people give their friends a scented candle as a gift, because who doesn’t love candles? But this one is so over-the-top Harry Potter that you can’t deny how cute it is. Once the candle has been burned down, you’ll discover that there is a ring in there. As you can see above, there are a lot of different options as to the ring style you can get. So it’s a fun surprise. You might even feel compelled to collect them all. The container can also be re-used as a mug for hot cocoa or coffee. It could also be a great place to keep pens or makeup brushes.

8. Quidditch Collectible Set
You may not be able to play a real game of quidditch with this, but it’s an amazing collectible piece to have on display. This is perfect if you’re trying to pretend your dorm is the Hufflepuff Common Room or any other house in the Hogwarts castle, you would expect to see this somewhere in that scene. Or, you can simply make your bedroom feel more magical in some way.

7. The Time Turner Necklace
Anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or The Cursed Child knows the importance of The Time Turner. In the original books, Hermione wore this necklace so that she could go back in time and take multiple classes. Eventually, she used this for time travel adventures with Harry and Ron. This necklace is great for anyone who is brave enough to wear this around. But it’s also great for cosplay, especially if you’re planning to dress up as a Harry Potter character for Halloween. It can also look great among other Harry Potter aesthetic collectibles in your bedroom.
6. Hogwarts Wax Stamp
In the Harry Potter movies, we see how the students send and receive letters and packages through the magical Owl Post Service. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could have an owl do this in real life? Even though it’s just a fantasy, this stamp can still help us decorate our letters when we communicate with family and friends.
A friend of mine used this stamp for his Harry Potter themed wedding invitations, and it was so adorable. This could also be great if you or your kids are going away to college or summer camp, and you want to send them mail with this stamp.

5. Hogwarts Paint by Numbers
Over the past year (going on two) we have had to spend a lot more time at home from 2020 to 2021. Whether it’s a long winter blizzard, or you simply want to stay indoors for a while, I recommend learning how to paint. And these Harry Potter themed paint-by-numbers are a great place for a fan to start. Painting can also be a great coping skill to get into if you’re struggling with your mental health. So whether you find a Harry Potter themed coloring book or the paint by numbers sets above, both are a great choice.
4. Quill Pen and Wax Seal Set
Earlier on this list, we included a cute wax stamp for the Hogwarts Owl Post. But if you want to go one extra step to create old school wax seals, this is the gift set for you. It includes the wax colors of Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. (Why not Slytherin? What gives??) But it also has a very cool quill pen. Of course, just don’t give this set to a Slytherin. They would be very offended.

3. The Mirror of Erised
Out of everything on this list, this miniature version of the Mirror of Erised is my favorite. Pottery Barn came out with a more realistic looking floor length mirror, but it costs $500. That’s out of most people’s budgets, especially if you’re currently in school working a part-time job. The one I have linked here is only $60. Obviously, it’s going to be a lot smaller. But this could be a great mirror to hang on your wall so you can check your hair and makeup before you leave for work or school in the morning.
2. Harry Potter Themed Wooden Spoons
Many of the gifts on this list are geared towards people who are in college. I understand that many of you live in a dorm room, so you might be surviving on cafeteria food and takeout every day. But if you live in an apartment or house and you’re able to cook meals on your own, these wooden spoons would be a great thing to own. These might also make a great housewarming gift to give someone you know is a Harry Potter fan. Heck, it could even be a great wedding shower gift, as long as you know that the couple loves Harry Potter.
1. Crystal Ball
If you want your home to feel more magical, I recommend this crystal ball. These have been known to be associated with magic and fortune telling for hundreds of years. While it’s not an official Harry Potter product, it reminds me of Professor Trelawney, the seer who teaches divination at Hogwarts. If you’re into wicca or witchcraft, this might even become apart of your spells and rituals. And if you’re just in this for fun, this could also potentially be a great accessory to keep around the house during Halloween.
