Still don't know what to get for that hard to buy for person on your Christmas shopping list? Worry no more. The zodiac can be a reliable guide to help you choose the perfect gift! You don't even have to know the person very well. All you need to know is their birthday. Here are some gift ideas custom fit to match the predispositions, personality traits and behavior tendencies of each astrological sign. Although there is much more to each of us than our sun sign, (we are all unique!) most people feel a strong kinship with their sun sign and say that it describes them quite accurately.
March 21 – April 19
The Ram loves any kind of form of challenge, contest and competition. He is the sign of action and loves being first. He knows he will get nowhere fast if he doesn't move faster. Anything to help him save time (or gain more time, through his eyes) is sure to be a hit. A high tech stopwatch, timed coffee maker, no-iron shirts, and any time saving gadget will excite them. Aries needs direction for their restless energy as well as their frustrations. Consider gifts that can help channel their intellectual energies to find solutions such as computer games, board games and puzzles. And for the restless fighting spirit, consider boxing gloves, gym memberships, or a basketball goal. Tickets to a sporting event are sure to be a winner with the Aries male. If buying clothing, he will like sporty clothes, team wear and baseball caps. Use compliments, anything that says #1 on it will appeal to the Aries ego. They will also appreciate personalized gifts, necklace with initials on it or an id bracelet. Aries rules the head, for women hair accessories, earrings and sunglasses, brightly colored clothes and accessories will be popular.
April 20 – May 20
Taurus loves to shop, this makes them excellent candidates for gift certificates! They are drawn to luxury and they love things, especially expensive things, and they are avid collectors. Taurus LOVES collector's items. Especially trademark and brand name collectables. If you know what they are interested in, you're in luck. Just get a collectable of their favorite athlete, rock band, college or sports team and you're in the good. Taurus people have an appreciation for names like Harley Davidson, Disney, Pottery Barn and Ralph Lauren. Material things have sentimental value to Taurus, too. Keepsakes, mementos and little reminders of your love and adoration of them will go far. Scrap books, hand-made items, and anything with the current year on it will keep it's sentimental value to Taurus forever. Touch and feel is important so consider comfy pajamas, (Taurus women love anything silky or satiny) Egyptian cotton sheets, foot massager, bubbles and home spa products. Taurus rules the throat and neck, so necklaces and pendants, especially sapphire, Emerald, and Jade, will be appealing to them. They are lovers of food, especially the good life dining, gourmet foods, fine cheesecake and exquisite chocolates will appeal to their love of fine foods.
May 21 – June 20
Gemini is always in need of something new to do. New experiences, hobbies, activities and events are good choices for their restless energy. Avoid anything time consuming or gifts or that requires a long term commitment. A gym membership requires a long term commitment and a Gemini will lose interest in a gift that is not useable or redeemable right away. Don't buy your Gemini friend a season pass for a water park in December. You can save that for their birthday. Gemini rules the mind and these people are very analytical and intellectual. They have an appetite for knowledge and are driven to seek information. Interesting books, magazine subscriptions and informational videos on their topics of their interest will get their attention. Appeal to their playfulness with whimsical toys, fun electronics or anything that gives their inner child permission to run free. You can help Gemini focus with strategic games like Chess and Memory, brain teaser puzzles and mind exercising video games. Since Gemini is always on the go, travel kits & luggage, automobile provisions, gas cards, and Motor Club memberships, will be well used by most Gemini. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, cell phones and computers are important to keep Gemini up to date on the latest gossip. Cell phone and internet accessories, notebooks and all wireless communication devices will be make you popular. Don't forget to buy extra batteries, they're going to need them.
June 21 – July 22
Every Cancer needs a cozy home. Contributing to the Crab's shell is the way to go. Anything to make their home both decorative and comfortable, decorative rock fountains, luminary lamps, exotic artwork, or candles will be pleasers. Cancer responds well to music, theatrics and movies that stir their emotions. They are much attached to family, so family heirlooms and personal mementos, hand made gifts, photo albums and scrapbooks, will have sentimental appeal to them. They are happiest when surrounded by their family and close relationships. A Cancer will be grateful for a fun family night, group tickets to a movie, play, concert or other entertainment event, anywhere they can create a new memory with their beloved family members and closest friends will mean the world to them. Cancer is a nurturing sign, most love to cook and especially enjoy cooking down home dinners for family and close friends in the home. Grilling or cooking utensils, cocktail shakers, specialty cookbooks and gift baskets with spices and sauces will be a treasure! The Cancer rules the domestic and will appreciate anything to help them improve, protect, and enjoy their home and family lief. Crabs are penny pinchers and like to save money, so anything that will help him cut expenses, increase his profits or protect his current assets will have value to him.
July 23 - August 22
This sign is ruled by the Sun and the element of fire. Just as the Sun is the center of our solar system, Leo loves being the center of attention. Leos naturally think of themselves as the King and Queen of their personal domains and are likely to have a pack of loyal friends who admire their regal charm. Lions love gifts that make them look and feel majestic. Jewelry, cosmetics and grooming items are all good choices for this prideful sign. If buying jewelry, go with Amber, Ruby or Diamond. Leos also love to gamble, so lottery tickets or a casino getaway will feed their guilty pleasure. When shopping for clothing, go for red, gold and purple. Fine champagne, gourmet cheeses and chocolates would be appropriated. They love to be pampered, so certificates for a massage, new hairstyle (Lion's love their manes groomed) a facial or manicure will also be well received. Leos love things that make them look and feel important. Brand names, designer logo bags (the bigger the better), flashy jewelry, anything in animal prints, a tiara or crown, of course, and all things extravagant will go over nicely with a Leo. Is a BMW too much to ask? Leo loves extravagance, but they still believe in true love. For a more romantic appeal, take her to a glitzy see-and-be-seen-restaurant, buy an expensive bottle of champagne and give her a flashy piece of jewelry in front of everyone to see! It doesn't have to be expensive. With Leo, it's not about the money. It's about attention.
Aug. 23 - Sept. 22
Virgos, the most practical sign of the zodiac, are likely to appreciate gifts that they can use and that help to keep their life in order. They love practical gifts, so avoid dust-catching collectables and trinkets. A high performance food processor or power tool will do the trick. Virgos love to organize and will appreciate a good watch, a leather-bound date book or new briefcase. Space saving storage containers and nifty organizers will tickle their fancy. They love home improvement products, closet organizers, and anything to save energy and reduce cost. Meticulous at budgeting and balancing their finances, home office items such as a paper shredder, accounting software or desk accessories is sure to please Virgo's analytical mind. They are also known to pride themselves on their immaculate appearance. Body cleanliness and personal hygiene are important to them. Scented soaps, lotions, body sprays and perfume might be just the ticket. Virgos are also usually health-conscious and enjoy gifts that keep them in tip-top shape. A gift basket filled with organic herbs and spices, nutritious goodies, or a healthy lifestyle cookbook will be well received. Because they are so sensible, gift certificates will be appealing because Virgo can buy what they need rather than what someone else thinks they want. Books are likely to be well received although you might be better off buying non-fiction as opposed to fiction, especially topics on self-help, organization or how-to books.
Sept. 23 - Oct. 22
Librans have a special kinship with music and often have some musical talents up their sleeve. They will appreciate a good CD to add to their ample collection. If you want to really go all out for a Libra, go for concert tickets. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, you can't go wrong with gifts that appeal to Libra's hopeless romantic side. If you're still stumped for ideas, a lavish bouquet of red roses accompanied by a loving handwritten note is all it takes to melt the Libra's heart. The sign of the scales, they need plenty of balance in their lives, so a pair of candlesticks or bookends might appeal. Strive to help them create peaceful surroundings to promote harmony and find balance. Elegant and tasteful art pieces and decor for the home would be appropriate, especially items in pairs. Two beautiful candle stick holders, matching crystal photo frames, a pair of wall sconces or twin book holders will delight Libra. If you're going for jewelry, an elegant watch or gem piece with opal, emerald, or jade will charm them for sure. For a Libra, it is the thought that matters most. They will be pleased with a hand made card and home baked goodies, as long as they can share the goodies with you. Most Libras hate to be alone. They are the sign of harmony and partnership, and very socially active, so a surprise event or celebration with their entire social circle will be a dream come true. They'll love gifts that give them moments they can share with you or their other loved ones.
Oct. 23 - Nov. 21
Scorpions are shadowy by nature and enjoy gifts that obscure their presence in some way. A pair of designer sunglasses, a knitted scarf or a droopy hat are all great picks. Scorpios are born detectives but keep much of their own life private. These curious mystery-lovers enjoy dark, moody stories and crime dramas. A collection of true crime DVD's and a popcorn tin are sure to appeal to the recluse Scorpion. They like to know the reasons behind everything, so books and informational videos and documentaries dealing with solving mysteries, police and detective work, the criminal mind, physics, psychology or spirituality will be attractive to Scorpio. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of death and reproductive forces, this sign is most well-known for their sexual appetite. Seductive lingerie would get plenty of use - if Scorpio girl is in a close intimate relationship, and as long as the lingerie is classy and in good taste. Don't insult her with perversion. They excel at writing, journals and diaries are good for helping them express and articulate their deepest inner emotions. Diaries with a lock are preferable to the secretive Scorpio. Better yet, a lockbox or a tamper-proof safe would be ideal. Since Scorpions are so private, a gift certificate may be fitting, for they may not want you to know what it is they really want. They can be fanatical workers and exert themselves until they drop, so tools to help them work more efficiently will make great useful gifts. Scorpios are loyal friends of the Zodiac and they are grateful for acts of kindness. Gifts of generosity are much appreciated by Scorpios, who will never ask someone to do what they would not do themselves. The greatest gift to a Scorpio is the gift of service, a helping hand with errands, repairs and odd jobs, anything to help them be more productive, to take some of the burden off and free their hands…so they can go find something else they need to work on.
Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarians are usually very carefree, optimistic, and adventurous. They love travel and new experiences and hate to be tied down. Travel accessories, luggage, books and videos on travel to different exotic places will appeal to this sign. Gifts from other parts of the world will have special value to them. They are known to be quite sporty and active. Exercise equipment, sporting gear and YMCA memberships will be well used. To appeal to this adventure enthusiast, an outdoor adventure such as a fishing expedition or canoe trip will have them keyed up. Camping equipment, hunting gear or a new fishing pole and tackle box are good picks. Because of their indulgent nature and carefree disposition, Sag's are prone to accidents, so a traveling medical emergency kit would be a good idea. This sign is feisty and independent and willing to fight for what they believe in. Show your support by giving to a cause they are passionate about or making a donation in their name. Sag woman will appreciate gifts that will help her to be self-sufficient. They also tend to be quite superstitious, so luck charms and pieces of good fortune will be held with high regard. Sagittarius is sociable and thrives on good company. I have never met a Sagittarius who didn't love theme parks and roller coasters. One thing you don't have to worry about with Sagittarius, if he or she doesn't like your present, Sag will tell you outright.
Dec. 22 - Jan. 19
Prestigious Capricorn enjoys gifts that will boost their image, advance in job rank or raise their personal status. Their reputations and achievements are significant to them. Gifts to acknowledge and highlight their lifetime achievements will have monumental meaning. Recognition gifts such as an engraved name plate for the office (with the title by the name) or a leather monogrammed laptop carrier or briefcase would be fitting. Capricorn likes anything that makes him more professional. Contrary to popular belief, though, Capricorn is not all work and no play. This sign is blessed with a wry sense of humor, so try the 'The Office' series on DVD or a sarcastic comedy like Napolean Dynamite. Anything with Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller will do. Capricorn has an appreciation for tradition and family history. Antiques and family heirlooms will be a welcome present for a Capricorn. Photo albums or scrap books filled with photos of the entire family, a genealogy starter kit and anything really, really old will captivate them. If you go for jewelry, make it an old family heirloom, a fine antique piece or an ageless diamond she can pass down to her own children someday. They also have an admiration for fine theatrical and musical art, so tickets to Phantom of the Opera, The Nutcracker, or a Broadway musical are all sure to get a squeal of delight out of even the most prudent, composed Capricorn.
Jan. 20 - Feb. 18
Anything unusual, unique, and one of a kind will satisfy the Aquarian in your life. Aquarians are known for being eccentric and are usually surrounded by friends. Because they are individualistic, they can come across as a little impersonal at times as they often feel more content in a group of friends than in a one on one personal conversation. To play it on the safe side, you might avoid the sappy, weepy, over-romantic gifts. Aquarius are movie buffs but they tend to favor comedy, old westerns and classic action-adventure films over romance and heart wrenching tearjerkers. They are original thinkers are likely to believe in new age philosophy, so you may try your luck with a gift certificate for aromatherapy massage, reiki healing or acupuncture. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of change and the unexpected, invention and modern science and natural history, you never know what this random sign will be doing from one moment to the next. Most Aquarians possess an excellent sense of aesthetics. This is often expressed by interests in drama, music, art, and science. Astronomy is usually a very popular fascination with Aquarians so telescopes are popular gifts. They love to move around and travel so you can win extra points with a gadget they can use on the go such as a GPS system, portable DVD player, iPod, or a USB adapter for internet on the go. Cameras and video cameras to document their travels will also be a hit with them. Aquarians can be quite aloof. They are engaging, yet unreachable. An electronic communication device to help you track down and keep in touch with your Aquarian on the go might come in handy.
Feb. 19 - March 20
These Sensitive and artistic people have vivid imaginations and an interest in fantasy. Pisces are usually the softer, dreamy types and anything romantic or sentimental will appeal to them immensely. They love gifts of all kinds, but especially ones that help them escape the realities of life. A bottle of champagne, the latest romance novel or fantasy video game will appeal to your Pisces friend. Pisces is a water sign, so they'll appreciate bath salts, foaming cleansers and shower gels. A fish aquarium or waterfall will captivate them. Pisces rules the feet so remember to treat your Pisces feet! Soft slippers, fuzzy socks, a pedicure of foot massage are all good choices. If you'd like to give something really special, pamper Pisces with a relaxing retreat to replenish energy with a day at the spa, a pedicure or massage or a relaxing day on the golf course. A digital camera will make a hit with this natural-born photographer. Pisces often have some musical talent as well so CD's and music instruments are likely to be a good choice. You can also cater to their dreamy side with a set of oil paints, a gilt-edged volume of love poetry or a Shakespearean play.
