15 Heartfelt Gifts For Hufflepuffs

by Sadie Trombetta

Holiday shopping getting you down? Make things a little easier on yourself by skipping the lines at the store and picking out one of these gifts for Hufflepuffs instead, each one something unique that any house member will love. Take it from a Hufflepuff herself, we're easy to shop for — as long as you get us something yellow, black, or badger themed.

The Hufflepuff house, know for its loyalty and fairness, is one of the best houses at Hogwarts (if I do say so myself). But when I first read Harry Potter as a kid, I firmly and naively believed that the only truly amazing Hogwarts house was, of course, Gryffindor. The house of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and my personal hero, Hermione Granger, I thought that if I belonged anywhere, I belonged in Gryffindor alongside the other greats. That is, until I took a quiz on Pottermore and got sorted into Hufflepuff.

Resistant at first, I grew to love my Hogwarts house the more I learned about it. I appreciated its inclusive attitude and identified with it's values of hard work, dedication, loyalty, and fairness. Now that I'm a proud, yellow and black wearing, badger-loving Hufflepuff, I want the world to know it — preferably, with the help of accessories, jewelry, and home decor that matches my house.

Take it from someone who knows them best, these are 15 great gifts for Hufflepuffs who love their house.
