The Best Gifts to Give & Receive According to Your Zodiac Sign
I love giving (and receiving) gifts inspired by astrology, so this year I put together another a gift guide full of star-aligned ideas for the holiday season! But as I was creating it, I realized most gift guides focus on stuff rather than experiences. And while this guide is no exception, some of the best gifts I've received over the years have been experiences.
For instance, my mom gets me the same gift every single year: a gift certificate to my favorite spa, and she books the appointment for the day after Christmas. I always know what to expect, but I still look forward to my post-Christmas spa day with excitement. After all, I’m a Taurus rising, and I live for a good routine.
If you’re still searching for the perfect gift (and it's not below), consider giving an experience that might outshine anything tangible. Offer to babysit for your best friend so she can keep her monthly date nights with her partner. Gift your sister a museum membership. Treat a heartbroken friend to the Agape Matchmaking Group Coaching Intensive. Score ballet tickets for a loved one—or even gift them a subscription to this newsletter.
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
When it comes to the earth signs, I immediately think of their reliability. While they can be very grounded and practical, they also know how to indulge in life’s finer things. Your Capricorn mom, who couldn't help but splurge on $50 Oishii strawberries, will certainly appreciate their new luxurious strawberry-scented body wash and Therabody's award-winning de-puffer. A Virgo, the ultimate host, will impress with fine Japanese whiskey and the good ice cubes. Every spiritual Taurus will adore a set of foodie-themed tarot cards while bedrotting in their European linen bedsheets.

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Being bold, passionate, and adventurous unites Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Help your Sagittarius sister prepare for another year of catching flights (not feelings) with stylish new luggage. A unique vase is the perfect gift for a Leo who seems to have a new admirer sending her flowers every other week. And for your Aries bestie, a heated brush ensures their mane stays perfectly coiffed, no matter the adventure.

Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Don’t call them crybabies—they’re just sentimental! Thoughtful gifts always go the extra mile for the Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces in your life. A photo from a special day in a quirky frame will tug at a Cancer’s heartstrings. Help your favorite Scorpio stay on top of their self-care game with selfie-ready eye patches. And trust me, a Pisces’ dreams will be even sweeter when they’re drifting off in an enchanting nightgown.

Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Geminis, Libras, and Aquarius are the thinkers of the zodiac—intellectual, curious, and effortlessly unique. They’re also prone to restlessness! A meditation mat might help a Gemini slow down and find their center. Libras can enhance their natural charm with a captivating and unique fragrance, while an Aquarius could unwind and tap into their creative side with a flower-arranging kit.
