50+ Gifts Ambitious Slytherins Will Love [Slytherin Gift Guide]

When it came time to start working on my series of posts for each Hogwarts House, there was no doubt in my mind which house I would start with… My own, of course! This Slytherin gift guide is the first in my series; I’ll soon have links for Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws… though I don’t know why anyone would want to be in those houses! ?

I’ve known I was a Slytherin since the beginning of my lifelong love affair with the Harry Potter series. Maybe it was my little crush on Draco Malfoy (ok, I’ll be honest, it was on Tom Felton) or the fact that cunning and ambition are two traits I pride myself on having. In any event: Slytherins, I’m here with you. I see you, and I’ve got your back.

That’s why I know which Slytherin gifts my fellow Slytherins will love! Putting together this Slytherin gift guide was hard because there were so many cool items out there – official and hand-crafted. Read on to find the best gifts for Slytherins (even if you’re just treating yourself!).

Note:Β This post is out-of-date, and many of the items I originally selected are no longer available. I have marked them with a ❌ but you can still check the links that interest you in case they have come back in stock. If you’re looking for an updated Slytherin Gift Guide, click here.

Books Worthy of the Hogwarts Library

Slytherin Gift Guide - Books

Never mind what Malfoy did to that poor book (tearing out a page! ?), the rest of us know better: part of what makes us Slytherins cunning is that we love to learn and keep information to help us achieve our goals. Here are some worth adding to your own version of the Hogwarts Library.

  1. If you have a set of the Harry Potter books that you love, these Slytherin print book jackets will give them a new look on the shelf.
  2. All Slytherins must keep track of plans and schemes, which is why this Slytherin notebook
  3. …and Slytherin pen are the perfect set for doing just that.
  4. Lastly, for those Slytherins you really love, the 20th Anniversary Slytherin Editions of the original series are gorgeous – and a splurge:

For some reason, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows aren’t available yet, so I’ll add those to this Slytherin gift guide once they are!

Clothes to Build a Slytherin Wardrobe

Slytherin Gift Guide - Clothes

Okay, yeah, getting clothes as a gift can be lame – but not when it’s one of these cool Slytherin items! While you don’t have to wear a Hogwarts robe in Slytherin colors every day (though you totally can!), there are plenty of other wardrobe pieces that most Slytherins will love.

  1. After a dip in the Prefects’ bathroom, this Slytherin bathrobe will help you be cozy and warm.
  2. Channel your inner Pansy Parkinson with this Hogwarts uniform-compliant Slytherin headband.
  3. Similarly, this Slytherin tie will complete the outfit for your next visit to the Wizarding World.
  4. This Slytherin athletic tea ❌ is perfect for quidditch practice when trying to make the house team.
  5. When the weather gets cold, this Slytherin beanie ❌ will help keep your clever head warm, and…
  6. …no winter wardrobe is complete without a requisite Slytherin scarf, of course!
  7. If you prefer a more fashionable option, this cool Slytherin infinity scarf ❌ is a great alternative. Who said being smart means compromising style?
  8. Similarly, smart Slytherins know that socks should A) match (don’t be weird, Dobby), and B) keep one’s feet warm, to help us keep taking over the world.

I also found a ton of other cool clothes you can mix and match into your muggle wardrobe including these two tees that rep the Slytherin crest ❌ and honor Slytherin traits ❌. Over those, you could throw on a cool Slytherin cardigan ❌, hoodie with the Slytherin crest ❌, or even this bad-ass but whip-smart-looking Slytherin varsity jacket ❌. Lastly, upgrade your kicks to these Slytherin high-tops ❌and nobody will doubt you can conquer anything you set your mind to.

Slytherin Jewelry Worth the Galleons

Slytherin Gift Guide - Jewelry

Even if you don’t have old money like the Malfoys, sometimes the only gift for the Slytherin in your life necessitates and investment – and what better way to invest than through a piece of jewelry they’ll wear and love. Here are some of the best accessories and jewelry pieces to give Slytherins as a gift.

  1. While most people think jewelry is just for witches, that’s not true! This Slytherin watch (no longer available!) is unisex and will look great on any wrist.
  2. I’ve long coveted these Slytherin stacked bracelets to add some green bling to outfits.
  3. Dating back to the Gaunt family, die-hard Slytherins will wear the Horcrux ring ❌ with pride.
  4. Similarly, Slytherin’s Locket is a statement piece that many Slytherins would proudly wear.
  5. For something more subtle, this snake necklace is perfect but still helps fellow Slytherin Hogwarts alumni recognize you.

A few other beautiful pieces I didn’t include yet but still want for myself include this tangled snake ring ❌ (Nagini on your finger!) and the official Slytherin bracelets from Alex & Ani.
