Some call them “aloof.” Others call them “detached.” They have been known to be “aliens” of sorts, with their own forms of communication. But in all actuality, they’re just Aquarians being Aquarians—one millions steps ahead of the rest of us, trying to make sense of the world as it is (they don't know why we’re not in the future already!). There’s a reason 2025 as the Age of Aquarius has us all out of sorts as we make our way towards transformation.
We might find ourselves trying to understand them half the time, saying things like, “You’re an Aquarius? That explains it,” or “You’re an Aquarius? We probably shouldn’t go on a second date.” But once you realize that you may never fully comprehend their ethereal yet fixed nature (they are stubborn afterall!)—and that they really do just want to “do good” like Brooke from The Other Two—you can actually keep up with their rebellious, independent spirits…in the form of gift giving.
To show them we love them (and all of their cute, little quirks!), we’re going to lean into their most habitual, most private, most free-spirited dreaminess for their birthday season. They might respond in a confusing, unpredictable manner, but know that the weirder it is, the better.

To Indulge Their Desire To Keep It Routine, But Not Too Routine
Our Aquarian angels love structure and routine, but not as much as they love breaking rules and adding “throw paint at the wall” creativity to their everyday habits. In other words, what looks like a routine to them may seem haphazard (and even chaotic!) to you. However, they just want innovative options to get them out of the box, into their imagination, and ready to challenge the status quo.
Since their surroundings can often leave them a bit perplexed—which can, inadvertently, lead to excess, existential squinting—show your Aquarians (and their beauty fridges) some soothing and smoothing eye support. If they’re in the mood to start their morning with self-care while curating—what would likely be—an outrageously diverse breakfast, make things easy with CLEARSTEM x Alyssa Lynch Matcha Eye Patches or All Golden 360° Firming Eye Patches.
If they’re in the mood for science-backed, innovation-inspired application, lean towards that which goes deeper (much like their thoughts!) in the form of the very famous, very haute, very replenishing Augustinus Bader Eye Cream, or Dr. Marnie LINES Wrinkle Pen for the Air signs who have considered injectables at some point because…science. Korres Black Pine Primus 6xHA Wrinkle Smoothing Youth Activator keeps things simple with six kinds of hyaluronic acid, so your water-bearer can make things more complicated (unnecessarily) later.
Now, should these rebels with a cause desire a fresh face while standing up for what they believe in, let them “eat cake” (or simply clean their own slate) on the go with Barefaced Clean Slate Spritz or DayBreak Mighty Mist, which help to keep their skin barrier balanced—even if they’re breaking barriers (and ignoring boundaries).

To Enhance The World They Live In (Which Is Definitely Different Than Ours)
I cannot tell you how many times an Aquarian has told me, “I’m an alien!” Well, we’re finally ready to take them at their word and endorse their otherworldly-ness with scents that take their pineal glands (and “big ideas”) even further.

To Let Them Dream Even Bigger
One of Aquarius’ biggest strengths is their ability to “dream a little dream” and completely reimagine something the rest of us accept as is. If we’re going to encourage their ability to turn any idea on its head (even if that idea has something to do with how you feel about your own life), we need to make sure they’re getting enough quality sleep!
Biohacky solutions like Cuddle Sleep+ Formula™ and Dryft’s Magnesium Sleep Spray + Sleep Mouth Tape encourage a 360-degree, inside-out, top-down, bottom-up sleep hygiene routine while Slip x EVE LOM Beauty Sleep Bundle and Dore & Rose Deep Sleep Eye Mask create a more brass tax blackout, theta-state regimen (while keeping the aforementioned squints at a minimum, thanks to #silk).
If your buzzy-minded besties needs more decompression before diving into their zzzs, go full spa on their a** with a Villa Cotton Hotel Italia Robe that will remind them that rest is included “all in a day’s work.” They can complement their robe time with some brain dumping a la the Papier Aquarius Bullet Journal, which will keep them honest with themselves in five minutes or less (because they’ll absolutely be ready to move onto the next thought quickly).
Since optimal sleep is synonymous with optimal recovery, prime them with a truly rejuvenating toolkit that includes the PMD Clean Redvolution that combines red light therapy and cleansing in one go, skin de-stressor OSEA Dream Night Cream, and next-level foam roller Chirp Wheel XR 3-Pack for a uniquely hi-tech experience.
To Bring Their Vision Into Full Focus
An Aquarian’s brain is like a Google search engine—always searching, finding, logging, and compounding (and maybe even remembering all of your specific search terms!). We love them for it! Since we need their leadership-infused, multitasking minds, we also need to consider gifts that bring them clarity, cut out all of the detritus-ridden cacophony, and settle them into their intuitive superpowers.
Alcohol-free bevvies like French Bloom LE ROSÉ, Mockly Eye Opener, and Curious Elixirs Curious Cocktail Club will give your sober-curious (or sober-willing) Aquarians the perfect way to participate in any social moment without losing laser-vision focus on their perspective or thought process.
For the Aquarian who wants to feel energetically charged to keep up with their rapidfire brain speed, IQBAR and Broc Shot Original will give them a super clean mental jolt on the daily and on the go—whether they’re on a rocketship to outer space or simply a freeway headed to Santa Monica.
Should they prefer their “power-up” practice at home, the Nami Matcha & Hojicha Duo can shift any afternoon slump into an afternoon energy bump while Rho Nutrition Liposomal NAD+ is the ultimate way to activate their cellular health to keep rebooting all day long.
Hyped up energy isn’t the only way to keep these Aquarians in radical brainstorming mode. Adaptogenic, central nervous system soothers like Elix Yin Time and Clevr’s Rose Cacao + Honey Vanilla Coffee SuperLattes bring ritual and serenity to our loyal diehards, so they can become embodied—even though they technically originate from somewhere “out there.”
Aquarians might be a whirlwind, but they teach us how to view the world in a neutral state, always see things from every angle, stand up for what we believe in, and keep up with what’s new, different, and completely unexpected.
