Harry Potter Complete Book Series

41C3OItzggL. SX342 SY445 PQ88

In this list of Harry Potter gifts for teens, I had to include a special edition book series.

Coloring Magic Markers for Travel

An absolute favorite for kids is the BIC Kids Visacolor XL coloring magic markers. They have large blocked tips, they are washable, and they are very easy to hold for little hands.
