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.
gemini
Gemini’s are quick-witted and charming; they constantly like to keep their minds moving, making them very keen on travelling. They’d appreciate a present that requires some mental work, such as puzzles or a Louis Vuitton passport cover to travel in style.
cancer
Cancers are both caring and family-oriented—also, the ultimate homebody. They would prefer to have people over rather than head out, which is why buying them a cosy sweat seat to lounge around the house or a customized photo album is the perfect gift.
leo
Leo’s love a good statement, as their drawn to eye-catching items in bright hues and loud prints. Their powerful aura has to be matched with a powerful accessory. This Chanel Rouge lipstick and elegant Italian crafted heels from NICOLI are the perfect touch to complete any look.
virgo
Practical and diligent, Virgo’s purchases items that serve a purpose in their life, so why not get them a gift that helps keep them organised? Think purse organiser, luxe planner or even a chic cardholder.
libra
Libra’s have irresistible energy to them. They appreciate the beauty in life and items with true meaning. A unique fragrance to match their vibrant energy is a must, or even a custom suitcase.
scorpio
Scorpios are full of mystery and always digging to uncover the truth in life. A Scorpio woman is not one for attention, which is why she prefers clothing and accessories in a darker hue or everyday neutrals, in the form of lingerie, slippers or even a bold jacket.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius love to step outside of their comfort zone. Whether travelling to a foreign country or venturing off into a far-off adventure, they are always out and about. Giving them a pair of black boots that can go with them anywhere or a luggage tag for travels to help secure their luggage are staple gifts they will cherish forever.
capricorn
Both practical and ambitious, Capricorns like to stay disciplined and on time, which is precisely why a sleek coffee maker or an audio speaker are a timeless holiday gift.
AQUARIUS
Aquarius are free-spirited, forward-thinkers and spend their days with their heads in the clouds. They have never been too fond of trends, which is why they like a somewhat unique gift that no one else has – or appreciate a technology-based gift that is up-to-date.
pisces
Pisces can easily pick up on how others are feeling, which is why they need to recharge most of the time. For the Holidays, why not treat them with a little self-care moment. Give the gift of relaxation with a face mask, sleep set or spa day for the ultimate relaxation destination.
