Slytherin Neighbor? Subtle Gifts to Light Up Their Garden and Quiet the Stalk

A nosy, Slytherin‑spirit neighbor who swipes lunches, watches your every move, and battles a dog that leaves surprises on the lawn.

Smart LED Bulb – The Easy Upgrade

A Wi‑Fi enabled color‑changing bulb lets them set the perfect ambience with a tap, satisfying the ‘tiny life upgrade’ craving while staying comfortably within the $20‑$50 budget.

Compact Tomato Grow Kit for the Ambitious Gardener

Imagine the neighbor perched on their balcony, a sly grin as they tend a petite tomato starter kit that fits just beyond the kitchen window. The kit comes with biodegradable pots, seed trays, and a tiny trellis—enough to satisfy a side‑quest without demanding a backyard. Each morning they watch the seedlings stretch, their Slytherin ambition channeled into something edible rather than a stolen sandwich. The kit’s modest price keeps the gift pleasant, and the fresh tomatoes might finally give you something to trade for a quiet evening, or at least a reason to smile when you see the first ripe fruit peeking over the rail.

Solar Motion‑Activated Sprinkler – A Gentle Boundary

On a sunny afternoon, a sleek solar‑powered sprinkler stakes itself into the patch of grass that the neighbor’s dog has claimed as a personal latrine. The moment the pooch steps onto the marked zone, a discreet burst of water reminds it of the invisible line. The motion sensor is tuned to activate only within a few feet, so the neighbor’s occasional garden stroll isn’t interrupted, but the unwanted visits are politely discouraged. It’s a quiet, environmentally friendly way to keep the lawn clean and send a subtle signal that personal space is respected—all for less than the price of a fancy dinner. The neighbor may even appreciate the techy touch, and you’ll finally have a patch of grass free from surprise deposits.
