Aries (March 21 – April 20)
They are bold and ambitious, headstrong and passionate. Represented by the ram, the star sign is ruled by the planet Mars. Aries always seem to possess the fiery energy and they love being the first to dip their hands into things or simply go on an adventure. Stand-alone statement pieces are great for Aries, and if you have them in red that’s a plus too!
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Represented by the bull, Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of Love and Beauty. Inherently, those born under these star signs are hardworking, loyal, and romantic. They are also incredibly easy-going and honest too. Tauruses have a reputation of enjoying luxury and quality products, so your gifts should pander along these lines. As an Earth sign, Tauruses enjoy materialistic, earthy possessions, so getting a gift close to nature or one that they can hold onto might be a great option!
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
The celestial twins are exceptionally talented. They love all things witty and can be pretty charming if they want to. They are always so busy and have many things on their plates to handle. Despite all that, they can be pretty fickle minded too! Gifts for this adorable star sign should pander along the lines of versatility, lest they change their minds at the last minute. And since they are always on the go, you could even gift them something to capture memories with!

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Cancers, a water sign, are intuitive individuals who we can trust to take care of us. They are sensitive to the mildest changes in their immediate environment and this makes them excellent wingmen or saviors to call upon to get out any awkward situations. As emotional individuals, whose mood fluctuates like tides to the Moon (which happens to be the ruling star), candles with calming scents make great gifts for them.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Leos are loyal, charitable and generous individuals. They love giving more than receiving. They are also extremely indulgent, which is why we always think they are individuals who have it all. But deep down, they are gentle creatures who would swoon at any gifts. Ruled by the Sun, the fire sign is a lot of fun to be around with and loves being the centre of attention. Bold, statement pieces, thus, make for great choices. Many of them have great hair, just like the gorgeous mane of their celestial companion, and I suppose Leos would appreciate any hair grooming products.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Incredibly modest and analytical, Virgos can be rather picky when it comes to gifts, which is why finding the perfect present during the holiday season is an extremely difficult task. However, since most Virgos are perfectionists, a practical gift (or a better/nicer/newer version of something they already have) could go a long way. At a time of the pandemic, wellness gifts are good presents for Virgos too.
