With Christmas fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to put together a holiday gift guide for the Zodiac signs! It actually was fun picking items for each sign. There are multiple options per sign, and I actually recommend you choose based on the person's Moon sign or Venus sign, if you know them. Why? The Moon governs our emotions, while Venus rules what we take pleasure in. If you get something that resonates with someone's Moon sign, they're more likely to have an emotional connection to it, and if you get something that resonates with someone's Venus sign, they're more likely to enjoy it. If you want more options, you can also consider the house location (if you know the person's time of birth); just look up the sign that naturally rules the house (1st house = Aries, 2nd house - Taurus, 3rd house = Gemini, 4th house = Cancer, 5th house = Leo, 6th house = Virgo, 7th house = Libra, 8th house = Scorpio, 9th house = Sagittarius, 10th house = Capricorn, 11th house = Aquarius, 12th house = Pisces). My one caveat: if their natal Venus is retrograde, try to stick to their Moon (Venus retrograde natives may struggle with their Venus placement until they've worked it out, so to be sure, use their Moon!). You can use the Sun if you don't have their Moon or Venus sign, I just find the Moon and Venus to be more accurate for gift-giving. This post did contain affiliate links but they've all been removed. Gift Idea for Aries
Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, a cardinal fire sign, so this is usually the sign that wants to be doing something physical all of the time. Gotta use up all of it's energy! So anything that can help them do physical activities:
- they often like camping, so perhaps a tent like this Coleman one - this paracord bracelet has a compass, knife, whistle, and even helps you start a fire (in case this is an Aries who gets lost, cold, or needs to protect themselves!) - if they like hiking/trekking, they may appreciate these anti-shock trail poles - if you can afford a little more and they have the space - a trampoline! (who doesn't love trampolines???) this trampoline even has a little basketball hoop (you know the kids would love that! though their parents might be mad LOL!) If they're not into the outdoors, something they can use indoors may be better, like: - this 20-pound dumbbell set (if they want to get buff) - this exercise ball (I used to sit on one whenever I would print a lot of stuff - not even exercising, I just thought it was fun!) - if they can't get away from their computer, they can try this under desk exercise bike (I need to get that) - if they've got some aggression to work on (common Aries problem!), maybe a heavy bag (or if they don't have the place to hang one, a punching ball on a stand) Gift Ideas for Taurus
Taurus rules the senses - see, smell, hear, taste, touch - so getting them a gift that engages one of the senses is usually going to be the best bet. Food is pretty much numero uno for Taurus, so you can try:
- they've usually got a sweet tooth, so try something like these fancy biscotti cookies - they tend to love food but not overly invested in the work of cooking, so something like a pressure cooker/slow cooker they can throw everything into and then let do the rest of the work! - a nice tea sampler can be great, and maybe add in a pretty teapot (I find that a lot of Taureans love teapots, even if they don't love tea! haha) - a subscription to the Food Network Magazine or Food & Wine magazine to get them inspired If you want to do something away from food, you can opt for something that will indulge one of their other senses, like: - a soft scarf in their favorite color (touch) - some essential oils and/or an essential oil diffuser (smell) - a wind chime (hear) - an art marker set (see) Gift Ideas for Gemini
Gemini is the sign of the mind (what active minds they have!), so something that will help them learn, write, or keep track of information is usually good, so things like:
- a fancy fountain pen to write everything down (and don't forget the ink!) and a pretty journal (this one is beautiful and celestial!) - because they love to keep busy, a planner is usually a safe bet (you can go simple like this elephant planner, sooo pretty like this Katie Daisy planner, or go big with this Happy Planner kit) - since they love to learn but hate having to stick with anything for too long, maybe try a book on learning faster! Gemini also tends to like techie stuff, smaller little gadgets they can play around with, so maybe something like: - a GoPro camera - since Gemini's can be scatterbrained, this gadget can help them if they're constantly losing their phone or keys - are they gamers? try a gaming headset - okay, this may be the best pick out of all of the signs - a little robot companion!!! (seriously I want this, it's soooo cute! and hello, ROBOTS, can't beat that!) Gift Ideas for Cancer
Cancer is the sign of the home and family, so think about things that they can use hanging out at home (or vegging out at home!). Something like:
- a plush bathrobe - soft pajamas and some comfy slippers - a throw blanket so they can wrap up on the couch - some pillows (they love to nap!) - this sign can be willing to do some cooking, so you can get them some cookware, a baking set, a food processor, or a stand mixer (this one fills my dreams!) I also find that Cancer tends to be a closet creative, secretly dreaming of writing, painting, etc. so feed that with: - a sculpting wheel and carving tools - a painting set - books on screenwriting, playwriting, or songwriting Gift Ideas for Leo
Leo is the sign of fun and games, so feel free to go for the fun, kid stuff (even if they're not even close to being a kid anymore in age!). You can try:
- a classic game like Twister, Monopoly, Connect 4, Battleship, or Operation - a super cute stuffed animal - an elephant, unicorn, a sea otter, or of course for Leo, a lion!) - a karaoke machine (they love to be pretend to be rock stars) Some other ideas: - Leo has to take epic selfies, so gift an extendable selfie stick and tripod and a ring light - the lion must take care of its mane, so try a flat iron, curling iron, blow dryer, or some magic hair (ha!) - Leo loves movies, so how about a giant 19-foot inflatable outdoor projector movie screen! (too cool) Gift Ideas for Virgo
Virgo always wants to keep things organized (even if it seems like a mess to everyone else, it’s still a system that makes sense to them!), so something that can help them with that or clear the clutter. You can try something like:
- if they have kids, a magnetic chore chart - to organize their closet, like an organizer with bins, or drawer dividers - for their office, a desk organizer or a file cabinet (I’d ask, is it weird that I LOVE file cabinets, but I do have Venus in Virgo!) - a pan rack or a drawer organizer/utensil tray to organize the kitchen Virgo is also the sign of health, so they tend to be big in tending to themselves, so you can gift them something that helps with that: - a yoga mat - a hand grip strengthener - a juicer - they tend to be big on self-help yet also have overactive minds, so maybe a book on mindfulness or meditation Gift Ideas for Libra
Libra is symbolized by the scales, and prefers peace and balance, harmony and tranquility (hence the love of diplomacy and compromise!). So you can try gifting something that helps put them in a peaceful state, like:
- lavender is very soothing, so you can try lavender essential oil or lavender buds (maybe hand-make sachets!) - a beautiful Tibetan singing bowl - bubble bath or a bath pillow - a little wine cooler (and include their fave wine) I find Libra also wants to have a beautiful surrounding, so you can get them something pretty for their home or office: - an interesting art print - a cool wall decal - a pretty mirror - a gorgeous flower pot - a book on feng shui (so they get some balance and harmony in their space too!) Gift Ideas for Scorpio
I was recently reminded how much Scorpio loves black (they are the sign ruling the dark side after all!), so how about black anything! Try:
- a black leather jacket (or faux for the vegans) - black onyx jewelry - a black purse - a black watch Scorpio also governs what’s taboo, so I find they tends to have a thing for piercings and tattoos, so: - if they have a piercing, you can get them jewelry for that (something for the lip or eyebrow or belly button - won’t even link to the nipple rings! LOL) - if they have a tattoo, you can get them a vegan tattoo butter to take care of it - if they’re piercing and tattoo free, it might be because they’re afraid to do it! So you can get a fake nose ring, a henna tattoo kit, or some temporary tattoos Gift Ideas for Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign of the adventurer, always wanting to go off to some far away place, even if only in their own head, so you can get them something to bring out their inner adventurer, like:
- luggage or a travel passport wallet (for when they do actually travel outside of their head!) - a travel map (so they can keep track of their travels) - a travel backpack - a compass (every adventurer needs one!) Sagittarius is also the sign of higher communication - advanced learning, publishing, public speaking, etc. - so they may like something that plays into that: - a book on TED talks and public speaking - something to learn another language - a Traveller’s notebook (to write about all of their life experiences) - something they can teach themselves, like this on jewelry-making or or this on crochet or this on calligraphy Gift Ideas for Capricorn
Capricorn is a lover of old things, so you can try to get something antique or classic, so you can try:
- a pocket watch (they’re mindful of time too) - a locket (for the memories) - an antique bottle hummingbird feeder (would be so cute for the birds!) - a vintage-inspired refillable perfume bottle - a victrola (if they’ve got old records) Capricorn also rules careers, long-term plans and goals - got places to go and things to do! So you can gift something like: - a briefcase or satchel - a calendar - a tie for the gentlemen (though I like ties too!) or red lipstick for the ladies (it’s a power color) Gift Ideas for Aquarius
Aquarius is the inquisitive scientist and techno-enthusiast, so this sign might like something like:
- a telescope (so they can discover an asteroid!) - a microscope set - a tech repair kit (since they can fix everything for you) some beaker shot glasses (in case they like science but aren’t up for the experimenting!) - another robot! (so maybe I like robots) this one teaches you to code though (meant for kids, but hey, some of us adults need help coding too!) Aquarius is also the environmentalist - funny because it’s not an earth sign, but this sign thinks a lot about the future, about how all of our actions lead to consequences, and wants to do the right thing not just for now, but generations to come, so you can opt for some eco-friendly or recycled products: - recycled glassware - recycled plastic indoor/outdoor rugs - bamboo towels - reusable metal straws (plastic straws are terrible! though I bite my straws so instead I use biodegradable paper straws or BPA-and-rubber free silicone straws - don’t want to break my teeth on the metal! LOL) And with Aquarius ruling astrology, maybe something astrology-related! Gift Ideas for Pisces
Pisces is the sign of the mystic and spiritualist, deeply in tune with the subtle energies around us, so you can go with some fun mystical stuff like:
- tarot cards, runes, or a spirit board - a book on contacting your spirit guides - a fluorite wand - some taper candles Pisces also governs music (they get lost in it), feet (the last part of the body for the last sign in the Zodiac), art (see music), and water (as a mutable water sign, very fluid!), so some random picks: - an acoustic guitar or piano keyboard - socks (ha, always need them! why do they run away???) - art supplies - a water fountain (or this cool water bubble wall feature) Comments are closed.
