Andromeda DavisThe holiday shopping season is almost underway–do you know what you’re getting for everyone on your list?
If you’re stumped for the perfect gift, we have a few suggestions based on the signs of the Zodiac.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Big Ticket Item: If you’re splashing out on a major gift for the Aries in your life, it’s gotta be season tickets to their favorite sports team.
Perfect Gift: Aries will love to get a pair of the freshest, most stylish kicks as a gift. Just make sure to subtly ask for their shoe size.
Stocking Stuffer: Need a little something for an Aries? Get a bottle of hot sauce! The hotter the better.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Big Ticket Item: The special Taurus on your gift list would really appreciate a beautiful, high-quality chef’s knife.
Perfect Gift: Have you considering gifting a bonsai tree to your favorite Taurus? They’ll enjoy taking care of the miniature tree all year round.
Stocking Stuffer: Grab a gift card to Taurus’s favorite restaurant for an easy stocking stuffer.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Big Ticket Item: Gemini isn’t the most practical Zodiac sign, so a sensible gift such as a twice-monthly maid service can be a lifesaver. Just make sure you clear it with them first!
Perfect Gift: A vintage edition of Gemini’s favorite book makes a beautiful and thoughtful gift for this smarty-pants Zodiac sign.
Stocking Stuffer: A pocket-sized notebook and pen set makes a great stocking stuffer for the Gemini who constantly needs to jot down brilliant ideas.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Big Ticket Item: Cancer prefers to give rather than receive, but that doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate a thoughtful gift. How about a nice (and sensible) winter coat or sweater?
Perfect Gift: The best gift you can give Cancer is your time. Instead of a wrapped present, take them out to a quiet, intimate dinner or a weekend away.
Stocking Stuffer: A practical gift such as a multi-pack of Cancer’s favorite brand of lip balm is the way to go.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Big Ticket Item: There’s only one big ticket gift that will make Leo happy. Even if you can’t shower them with diamonds, consider getting a quality piece of jewelry that Leo can show off.
Perfect Gift: For the Leo who loves makeup, a nice palette or set of brushes is a good choice. Other Leos might enjoy a salon gift card or coupon for a spa treatment.
Stocking Stuffer: Leo has a playful sense of humor, and they’ll love a gag gift in their stocking.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Big Ticket Item: If you want to get Virgo something fancy this year, opt for a practical, long-lasting gift such as a fine leather briefcase.
Perfect Gift: Virgo doesn’t get quite as excited as other people about the holidays. That being said, they’ll enjoy getting well-made sweaters, socks, or other gifts they can actually use.
Stocking Stuffer: Virgo can never have enough pens. Be warned–they do have a favorite brand, so make sure to ask.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Big Ticket Item: Libra would love to travel. If you want to make a major gift purchase, then a vacation package is the way to go.
Perfect Gift: A silk scarf, luxury truffle oil, or charming piece of antique furniture will make Libra happy. They have expensive, refined, and very worldly tastes.
Stocking Stuffer: A book of quotes from the world’s greatest thinkers would make a lovely gift for a Libra.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Big Ticket Item: Scorpio would love a weekend in Vegas. Or, if that’s not an option, a classic leather moto jacket.
Perfect Gift: Although Scorpio seems tough, they have a taste for the finer things in life. A luxury sheet set (preferably in linen since Scorpios run hot) would be a great choice.
Stocking Stuffer: Get your favorite Scorpio some roasted, salty-sweet cashews or pecans.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Big Ticket Item: Sagittarius is a pretty undemanding Zodiac sign. If you want to spoil them, go for an upscale travel backpack.
Perfect Gift: If possible, gift your Sagittarius with an experience such as rock climbing or parkour lessons.
Stocking Stuffer: You can never have too many carabiners or water bottles! At least that what’s Sagittarius thinks.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Big Ticket Item: It may not seem very festive, but Capricorn will appreciate the thoughtfulness of a year’s worth of oil changes for their car.
Perfect Gift: Get your favorite Capricorn a set of matching meal prep containers to make it easier for them to eat healthy throughout the week. Trust me, they love little organizational hacks.
Stocking Stuffer: Coffee coffee coffee! Capricorn can’t get enough caffeine.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Big Ticket Item: Aquarius would much rather you spend money on a good cause than a big present. Donate to their favorite charity this year.
Perfect Gift: If you want to get Aquarius a gift, make it yourself! They’ll appreciate the thought and care that went into making it far more than any other Zodiac sign.
Stocking Stuffer: Aquarius is always cold, so a knitted hat or fingerless gloves are a good choice for a stocking stuffer.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Big Ticket Item: Pisces is really, really tough to shop for. Despite that, you can’t go wrong with buying them concert tickets to their favorite band.
Perfect Gift: Consider getting Pisces something New Age for the holidays–crystals, sage, tarot decks, and so on.
Stocking Stuffer: Pisces tend to have dry skin, so a rich hand cream is a great stocking stuffer. Just make sure it doesn’t have a very strong smell–this sign is very sensitive.
