Hufflepuffs get a bad rep in the Wizarding World. All of the other Hogwarts houses have hd ??? ??splashy defining traits like bravery, cleverness, or murder, but Hufflepuffs are best known for going with the flow. The thing is, in this day and age being chill is one of the better things anyone can be, and Hufflepuffs like Newt Scamander are finally having their day in the sun.
Here's what to buy that Huffle-friend of yours who turned out to be the coolest person you knew all along.
1. A brûlée torch

Your cool Hufflepuff friend probably spend seven years learning all the secrets of a perfect baked Alaska or, as this torch suggests, creme brûlée. Help them perfect their recipes with this handy kitchen tool, but also...it's a blowtorch. Can't get more rad than a blowtorch.

4. A subtle Huffle-pillow
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Hufflepuffs have a right to be proud of their house. Considering their humble nature though, they aren't likely to shout it from the rooftops. A subtle pillow that reps that badger life while still looking like something that could conceivably be an unrelated decor choice is ideal for a pillow-loving Puff.

5. Mysterium, a cooperative tabletop game
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable It's a stereotype that Hufflepuffs are all hand-holding pacifists who don't like conflict, but sometimes stereotypes come with a grain of truth. They won't have as much fun playing a hyper-competitive game (except Quidditch) as they would playing one that focuses on collaborative group play. Mysterium is also a good choice for Hufflepuff because in the event everyone wins, the players free a ghost to live happily in the afterlife.

6. A copper watering can

7. Derren Brown's Happy
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable One of the more delightful Hufflepuff traits is their live and let live philosophy. They don't worry about things they can't control because they'd rather focus on being clear-headed about themselves and their actions. Hufflepuffs, turns out, are cheery stoic philosophers in yellow robes. Derren Brown's (note, definitely not a Hufflepuff) book Happyas an anti–self help book structured around stoicism as it pertains to personal contentment.
