zodiac gift guide

Holiday shopping is never easy. Whether you’re shopping for your mother, brother, best friend, or relative, it’s hard to know exactly what someone wants. Often, when it comes to understanding one another, we look at our horoscope for all the guidance we need, from friendships to career advice and even measuring our compatibility with someone, so why not turn to zodiac gifts for the holidays? Astrology has become our cheat sheet for a person’s specific interests and tastes, so unless they tell you exactly what they want, taking a cue from their sun sign can help significantly.

But you don’t need your loved one’s birth chart to come up with a unique gift idea, which is what we’re here for. Below, discover how to shop for everyone on your holiday list, even if they’re not an astrology lover.

Aries

As the fieriest sign, Aries can portray an aura of youthful energy that doesn’t fade. They are fearless, adventurous and slightly competitive. They prefer experiences over materialistic things, so if you want to make an Aries happy, gift them a fitness-focused gift that can appeal to their competitive and hardworking personalities. Try a new Apple watch that’s both stylish and functional or a new cookbook that can elevate their cooking skills for their next dinner party.

taurus

Taurus’s are unapologetically indulgent and are receptive to anything that appeals to their five senses, also keeping in mind that Taurus’s taste tends to be a tad expensive (and self-care is at the top of their list.) This year opt for all things silk robes, luxurious eye masks, and dreamy body oils for their holiday gift.
