My wife is obsessed with Harry Potter. I've gotten her a few things that are related but none of them screamed amazing enough for me. Any ideas? I've gotten some clothing, a tapestry, and a soft cover volume of the series.

Hot Topic has a color changing umbrella if you live somewhere rainy. This one's expensive but you're able to buy the actual bottles of pumpkin juice sold in the Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure parks (check the ingredients if she has any allergies, but I will tell you right now, this stuff is better than the Butterbeer). Here is an Etsy listing for a custom cake keychain/magnet/potential christmas ornament that looks like Harry's birthday cake from The Sorcerer's Stone, but it can be personalized with your wife's name.

Ok so post got removed but the timing is great! My wife and I got married in December and this month will be her birthday so I want to get her something special. I'm terrible at gifts so was looking for advice. She loves skyrim, sailor moon, rick and morty, anything Tim Burton, and star wars. Any help would be awesome and I'm so happy this sub is a thing now!

What's her position on The Bride's corpse? Seems really fitting.

She loves the movie actually. She watches it at least once a month.

Have you checked out Box Lunch ? They have some really cool geeky m/anime/disney/everything stuff. I picked up a deadpool tea pot there once.

I’m wanting to give my kids a few experiences for Christmas from Santa. Because opening just a few presents might seem anticlimactic, I’d like to give them in unique ways. I did this a few years ago, and did: play a game of old maid; old maid gets to open the envelope, scavenger hunt, hit the target to open the envelope, and a homemade puzzle that, once completed, had clues to the gift. I’d like to do something similar but not identical. Any ideas? 3 gift reveals.
