Gemini season has arrived, and it’s here until June 20. While this sign often gets a bad rap for its “two faced,” mercurial disposition, Geminis are actually far more nuanced. It’s this wonderful duality that makes Geminis such dynamic and compassionate friends, companions, and yes, even lovers! Known for their strong opinions, bold personalities, and charismatic duality, Geminis often have incredible social lives (filled with people searching for the perfect birthday gifts). Trust me, my best friend is a beautiful Gemini.
As a TQE reader you’ll get the scoop on finding the best presents for the super charming, intelligent, and unique Gemini in your life. Read on, you generous and caring gift-giver, you.

For Their Duality – And Predilection For Looking Fabulous
I couldn’t resist the double meaning on this one. Although I do reject the dismissive categorization of all Gemimis as “two faced,” it’s undeniable that this sign loves a little yin-yang transformation. The Gemini glyph is, after all, “the twins” – two lines joined together that symbolize the sign’s duality and neutrality. Encourage their sultry, sun-kissed, summer persona with this new and sparkly Born This Way Sunset Stripped Palette ($26) from Too Faced. All of the shades are spectacularly pigmented and shimmery, and the palette even has a light, delicious vanilla scent. Glow ahead!
It may just be a coincidence – or fated by the stars, let’s lean in – that all of the long-haired Geminis in my life have a solid collection of claw clips, and often have their hair twisted into effortlessly polished updos. Upgrade their hair accessories with new clips that celebrate their duality.

Upgrade Their Closet – From Pilates To Picnics
Geminis are notably expressive dressers. Their unique personalities often manifest in the items they wear – but they’re sure to lean towards polished, quality aesthetics, whatever their specific preference. Think: quiet luxury, made a little bit louder (and more unique). Might I suggest a few brands that could do the trick?
I absolutely know that your (and my) Gemini is squeezing a sweat in their busy schedules. Take care of their wardrobe with sleek workout wear and one-and-done jumpsuits from Alo Yoga and Beyond Yoga.

Put Their Overcommunicative, Overthinking Thoughts On Some Beautiful Paper, from $29
As a sign ruled by Mercury, Geminis are governed by communication. Perhaps your Gemini is on their phone 24/7, or constantly in email-triage mode. But they’re also equally likely to be working out conversations, social plans, intellectual machinations, and relationship management in their minds at all times. Make their life a little easier (and mind a little clearer) with a notebook or planner from Papier. The new collection with The Met infuses art nouveau design into planners and journals they’ll use religiously. For the friend who needs a little more reflection and relaxation, pick from the nature-inspired Pause Collection, with notebooks perfect for journaling, daydreaming, and gratitude lists. Lastly, if your Gemini is big on daily routine (which they likely are), go for Intelligent Change’s Five Minute Journal ($29). They’ll love you for optimizing their gratitude practice.
Brains And Botany, from $29
Another benefit of being ruled by Mercury? Geminis are intellectual powerhouses, and are naturally curious beings. Gift them this Lion’s Mane tincture ($40) from Rainbo and hit them with links to these Brain Pops and Lion’s Brain Walnut Milk to encourage their summertime kitchen ingenuity. All that thinking can give Geminis a little extra neck tension and susceptibility to headaches; gift them Wooden Spoon Herbs’ Head Helper ($29), formulated with plants and herbs that will chill them out, ease pain, and make you the favorite friend.
Skincare From The Outside In, from $12
Geminis are, of course, air signs – so their social energy and professional ambitions can often send them into a spiral of high-energy stress. They might be in need of some self-care, vis a vis skincare they can carry on-the-go.
Send them CAP Beauty’s ingenious serotoner ($58), which will simultaneously lift their mood and bring out their inner glow – regardless of whether it’s in their beach bag or glove compartment. This toner’s fragrance is, quite literally, a portable spa. For their next adventure (or everyday canvas tote), gift them Soft Services’ new travel size body care essentials. Throw in Monastery’s Superglow set ($279) because yes, they deserve the world.
Get to gifting – and we’ll meet you back here next month to coach you through the process of pleasing a Cancer.
