Great in-store gifts for a HP lover

[paintnolish]

I drew a Harry Potter lover's name in a secret santa exchange. The party is in a few days, so I don't really have time to order anything. Have you seen anything in stores lately for a $20 limit exchange? She has all the books and movies. Thanks!

Barnes and Noble usually has HP bookmarks, I collect them and they're about 3-4 dollars each. They have a ton. They sometimes have stickers or little notebooks and I know up by the register they have mini time turners and sorting hats in these tiny boxes. They're usually on a display case that turns. Good luck!

I'm not sure of the price of the time turners, but my niece got one and loves it!

When you say she has all the books, do you just mean the actual series (1-7)? There are also some books outside of that - a cookbook, etc.

And there's Harry Potter candy. - I've seen Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans at a Toys 'R Us Express, and Chocolate Frogs at Michael's (oddly).

If you have one of those cauldron trick-or-treat baskets left over from Halloween, you could pack the things in that.

If you have a Hot Topic store near you, they sell t-shirts and accessories. There are also butterbeer recipes online, you could make a little gift basket with the ingrediants and a cute mug.

You might be able to find Tales of Beetle the Bard. It's a small book, about the size of a children's book.

This is a little over the $20 limit, but it has wonderful reviews on Amazon. It's out of stock on Amazon (they have the 2 day shipping), but you might find it in a store. You can read some of the reviews on the link I gave you, but it seems to be overwhelmingly popular. I showed it to my DD (also a big HP fan), and she wants one now.

I found Harry Potter wall stickers in the Home Decor section of our local Walmart. It was about ten dollars for package of sticker sheets, featuring large pictures of the characters flying on brooms and various house emblems. I bought a pack for my daughter's birthday.

They have this at Target and Barnes and Noble, I bought it a couple months ago and love it.

The time turner things are like 7 dollars, I went to B&N today and they had a bunch. I like the idea of the candies, didn't even think of that! The HP cookbook is SO awesome, that would be a great gift! Hot Topic also has tons of things like keychains and cheap t shirts (about 15-20 dollars)

I got a little Hedwig today from Borders. Their little gift box toyswere pretty picked over from being stocking stuffers. I didn't even think about Hot Topic. I guess they have stuff since the most recent movie is still in theaters. I'll have to look for the cookbook- no idea something like that even existed!

My DD loves the HP schoolbooks: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them / Quidditch Through the Ages. They are by Jk Rowling. She also has a HP 20 questions game that she really likes as well as a stuffed Monster Book of Monsters.
