Shopping for Mother’s Day gifts can be a huge ordeal. You want to get it absolutely right, so double check with the stars! Here are the best Mother’s Day gifts for each sign of the Zodiac.
Just make sure you know her birthday, m’kay?
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Moms born under this sign desperately need one of two things. Either go for a basket of at-home spa products so she can relax for once, or else an eco-friendly water bottle that matches her favorite workout gear.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Go luxe or go home! Actually, don’t go home unless you get your mom something really nice as a Mother’s Day gift. Taurus loves pretty things as well as food, so look for a beautiful serving bowl or cheese board.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini loves to learn new things. What better way to celebrate her curiosity than by signing her up for a class? If she’s always wanted to try painting or calligraphy or blacksmithing–Geminis are eclectic when it comes for hobbies–surprise her with a weekend workshop.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For this mama, time spent with her family is more important than any gift. Arrange for everyone to get together for a meal and show her how much you all care.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leos love fashion–and they love being the center of attention even more. As the head lioness of your pride, your mom should feel like a superstar on Mother’s Day. Encourage her to get dressed up and take her out to the theater and dinner.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgos are one of the most practical signs of the Zodiac. If you grew up with a Virgo for mom, then you know all about her efficiency. Get her a complete bullet journal kit, including all the stickers, stencils, and pretty pencils she could ever want.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libras enjoy beauty, art, and culture. She’ll absolutely love a unique piece of jewelry made by a local artisan. Make sure to learn as much about the piece and the person who made it as possible–the story will be almost as valuable to her as the gift itself.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio moms can be challenging, but deep down you know that she loves you more than anything. Cook a meal together, uncork a bottle of wine, and reminisce about all the ridiculous things you did when you were a kid.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Surprise your mom with a road trip for Mother’s Day! Pile in the car, but don’t tell her where you’re headed. As an adventure-loving Sagittarius, she’ll be thrilled.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Capricorns need to chillax. Get your hardworking mom a gift certificate for a spa where she can be pampered all day. She deserves some “me time” for once!
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
As an Aquarius, your mother probably raised you to have strong beliefs about helping others. Give back on Mother’s Day by sponsoring a worthy cause in her name.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Creative Pisces loves to express herself and spend time with her family. Combine the two by attending one of those “drink while you learn to paint” classes. Maybe you won’t manage to make a masterpiece, but the two of you will have a great time making memories!
