It’s time for another Currently and What’s New With You, so feel free to link up at the respective blogs!
Gifting: I’m currently working on acquiring all the gifts I need for Christmas. I’m usually more ahead of things, but not so much this year. Regardless, I do have a few people finished! Also, I’m doing my annual Christmas gift for my mom, which is a book of monthly mother/daughter dates!
Baking: I have my annual Christmas Cookie Exchange this Saturday, so I need to bake something for that. I’m thinking of the Christmas Toffee Crackers, or Christmas Crack. You can find lots of recipes online!
Singing: Lots of Christmas songs. On Black Friday I bought the last two Penatonix Christmas albums since I’d loved their first, so I started listening to those.
Mailing: I need to be mailing Christmas cards. I have the cards, and some addresses, so I need to get going.
Decorating: I don’t have a tree yet, but the house has Christmas decorations up! I’ll be using my Harry Potter “doll/figure” as decoration all month on Instagram though. Yes, if you remember from last year, Harry on the Shelf is back! Forget Elf on the Shelf…Harry is way more fun. Follow along on Instagram to see all the fun pictures!

In honor of Harry on the Shelf coming back, I’m here to share my 2018 Harry Potter Gift Guide! Don’t forget to check out my other gift guides though:
- Fashion and Beauty Gift Guide
- Advent Calendars and Gift Sets + Unique, Fun Gifts Gift Guides
- Books and Stocking Stuffers Gift Guides
Honestly, I would take almost any of these items because I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. However, I thought I’d go through and point out a few really cool items to get you started. Also, if anything you want to buy is sold out, let me know and I can find you a new link to buy!
I LOVE S’well water bottles, and they have a new line based around Harry Potter, so I’d totally get one of these Harry Potter water bottles.
This pillow cover honors the lovely Luna Lovegood, who is one of my favorite Harry Potter characters! And for those of you who feel like Gryffindor and Slytherin get everything, you can buy a Hufflepuff pillow cover or a Ravenclaw knit throw.
Hopefully you found some fun Harry Potter themed items, and maybe even something new! What do you think? Anything you need to buy, or add to your own list? Let me know!
Final Note…
Whether you shop from my gift guides or not, I highly recommend you make an account with Ebates. It’s free to sign up and all you have to do is shop through their site to get cash back on so many stores. To make it easier, add the Chrome extension. Then when you visit an Ebates-affiliated site, you click the button in your extension and say you want cash back (and it will tell you the % you’ll get back). Plus, if you use my affiliate link, you’ll get $10 automatically when you spend $25. It’s a great way to get some money back on online sales – since you’ll be buying things online anyway!
Have fun with your Harry decorating! Good for you on being ahead with your Christmas shopping. And I wish I was there for all your Christmas cookie baking. I love hot, fresh cookies from the oven! Now I’m hungry…
Awesone gift guide!
I love the “you’re just as sane…” pillow! Good luck with your holiday tasks! You’re way ahead of me…

These Harry Potter gift ideas are so much fun! I love that you’re doing a book of mother/daughter dates for your mom again, that is such a great idea! I can’t wait to see what you will be doing with her in the coming year! I love Pentatonix too! I’ve been streaming their albums a bunch!
That swell bottle is adorable! I’ve never seen that pattern on a swell bottle!! I love the mother/daughter mostly date idea. I think I might steal that…..
I feel like I’m usually more ahead by now too, but I still have so much left to do, ahhhh! Your cookie selections sound really yummy. I need to get my cards mailed too… so much to do!
Lovely Harry Potter items 🙂
Awwww I love that you make a book of dates that you and your mom can do togetber!! I just had a date with mine last weekend and we had such a nice time together ❤️
Also I didn’t know swell water bottles has a line dedicated to Harry Potter!! Still looking for a gift for someone on my list who is a bit more difficult to shop for so this is great! Also your cookies sound delicious; hope you have a great to me this weekend!
I love the gift you do for your mom. That is so great and I bet she loves it.
Harry on the Shelf sounds cute too. 🙂
Ha! Love the idea of Harry on the Shelf. Also, I’m a massive fan of Ebates – everyone should use it!
Ebates is great!
Nice gift guide for Potter people.
I’m so behind on all the festive stuff… It sucks. I’m hoping for a tree and decorations this weekend but I’ll need to see how things go. 🙁
Good luck with the present buying and other Christmas prep!
Looks like some really great Harry Potter gifts and the baking sounds fun! Hugs…RO
Loving the idea of a book of monthly mother/daughter dates! Perhaps Mr T could amend it to a book of monthly mother/son dates as his mother is proving impossible to buy for this year.
I also know several people who would love these HP gift ideas so thank you for sharing.
love the luna lovegood pillow! actually just love everything, of course. including ebates! it’s the best.
That S’well bottle is so cute!
I use ebates for EVERYTHING! It’s the best! I even shop online and pick up in store just so I can use ebates! Is it bad I want that Harry Potter kids lamp for myself? Haha!
I love this so much! Pottery Barn has such an awesome Harry Potter collection. I would LOVE to have that lamp!
I really love S’Well water bottles and that HP one is so much fun! I hope that you get all of your Christmas to-do items finished. It can be such a busy time of year. Sounds like you are well ahead of me! 😉
Oh I love cookie exchanges. So much fun! I just got my cards out. Oh that HP swell bottle is on my wishlist!!
That is a great gift guide. Cookie exchanges are perfect for this time of year. Both of the ones that you mentioned sounds amazing!
I have a little girl who I think needs that water bottle! Thanks for sharing it with us. Looking into Ebates!
I always drool over the Pottery Barn collections, but even on sale they are out of my budget. Ha ha. ?
I saw that Better World Books has an Ebates link. I should look into it. Thanks for sharing. ?✨
I would love to have friends that would exchange cookies with me. That seems like a fun thing to do this time of year. You reminded me that I still need to send out my Christmas cards.
Great gift guide! I want all the Harry Potter funko pops, and that ‘You’re just as sane as I am ‘ pillow is so amazing!
Did you just see Pentatonix on tv a few moments ago? Their voices are phenomenal! Hugs…RO
Ahh the mailing, I’m still trying to mail my Christmas cards and I’m going to be late this year for sure haha, oops 🙂
This is such a great gift guide, I love it!! I’m in love with all of the pillows there haha 🙂
