Gemini season has arrived, and it’s here until June 20. While Geminis are often unfairly dismissed as two faced and mercurial, this sign is actually far more nuanced. It’s this wonderful duality that makes Geminis such dynamic and compassionate friends, companions, and lovers! (Although if you’re starting to date a Gemini man, proceed with caution.)
Known for their strong opinions and charismatic ability to toggle between yin and yang, Geminis often have incredible social lives (filled with people searching for the perfect birthday gifts). Trust me, my best friend is a Gemini. As a TQE reader you’ll get the scoop on finding the best presents to please this charming, brilliant, one-of-a-kind air sign.

Best Probiotic For Curbing Cravings
I always thought intense cravings were just a tribulation of womanhood, but they don’t have to be. GLP-1 probiotics naturally increase the production of the “un-hunger” hormone, GLP-1, in your body which ultimately helps curb cravings and food noise to help you maintain a healthy weight. While this probiotic definitely has a higher price tag, Pendulum offers a “subscribe and save” membership for $65/1 month supply with the option to pause or cancel at any time. With this membership option and 91% of users reporting reduced cravings, why not give it a try?

OSEA’s Body Serum is a skin-loving powerhouse, using 5 molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vegan peptides, nutrient-rich seaweed, and aloe, making it the ultimate summer hydrator and skin essential. And it has been clinically proven to instantly boost skin’s hydration by 161%.*
My Experience: I had absolutely no idea what to expect from a serum designed specifically for my body, and I have to say…I was pleasantly surprised.
OSEA’s Body Serum was super lightweight, but also deeply hydrating, leaving my skin with a luminous glow that was not sticky, oily, or sitting on top of the skin. By the time I had finished my nightly routine, the Serum was completely absorbed into my skin, and left me feeling super hydrated from the outside-in into the next day.

We may love buzzy brand Kroma Wellness for its deluxe lifestyle resets of rainbow broths (and most importantly, cookie butter) but its matcha blend is just as worthy of our praise. Since the brand focuses on abundance rather than deprivation during its five-day cycles and similar, its superfood version of the matcha latte has 12 grams of protein per double-scoop serving—so is an excellent way to get your grams in. Added ginger, turmeric, maca, and goji increase its nutritional benefit. The taste of this one is creamy and satisfying too.

Upgrade Their Closet – And Their Go-To Bag
Geminis are notably well-dressed. 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. Allow me to point you to some brands that will 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 from Splits59 and Girlfriend Collective.
For their day-to-night schedules, shop the best pointelle basics from Cou Cou, a dress and sweater pair from LESET they’ll wear on repeat, anything from Rue Sophie’s collection, and a pair of sleek boots from Labucq or loafers from Freda Salvador for mixing and matching with dresses and jeans alike.
If you really want to spoil your Gemini, gift them a leather tote they’ll use forever (and ever). I regularly lust for the Mansur Gavriel Zip Tote and any of Dragon Diffusion’s iterations, and your Gemini will, too.
Skincare For An Inner And Outer Glow
Geminis are air signs. Translation: 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 and skincare to restore their inner radiance at a moment’s notice.
Send them CAP Beauty’s ingenious serotoner, which will simultaneously lift their mood and bring out their inner glow – ideal for stashing in a beach bag or glove compartment. The toner’s sage, rose, citrus and neroli oils lend the scent-sation of a spa in lieu of the real thing. Not one for elaborate self-care rituals – because they certainly don’t have the time – you might remind them to slow down and care for their body with OSEA’s new Hyaluronic Body Serum and Monastery’s deeply hydrating, luxurious Body Kit.
With the start of summer, your Gemini might be yearning to defrost their winter mode and embrace a sultry, sun-kissed persona. Enable this duality with some glow-inducing essentials from Goop, Vacation, and Saie.

Pen & Paper For The Zodiac’s Favorite Communicator
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 Leather Noteboooks – personalized with their initials or full name – make for an elegant gift they’ll use daily. And don’t underestimate the beauty of a personalized set of Notecards in 2024.
Enhance Their Health Optimization Game
While a Gemini might not have all the time in the world to play with fancy biohacking or elaborate homemade tonics, they’re major experimenters when it comes to feeling and doing things better. Get them hooked on Pendulum, a line of probiotics designed to enhance your body’s natural GLP-1 production and calm overall food cravings. What’s better than the gift of a flourishing gut microbiome? Kroma’s Collagen Matcha Latte and Bone Broth – both of which come in conveniently packaged powder sachets – will boost their skin radiance and gut lining in five minutes between meetings or flights. Add on Moon Juice’s Brain Dust for mental stamina made delicious.

Accessories And Art Objects That Celebrate Their Duality
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. Why not get them a few beautiful accessories, jewels, and objects that emphasize the symbol of their sign? Start with a Gemini Espresso Maker – an infallible gift, writ large – and pick from Justine Clenquet’s contrasting metalware jewelry, because everyone deserves a little sparkle on their big day. If you’re eager to splurge, nothing emphasizes the cosmic interplay of light and dark better than MUHLY’s stunning Lin Table Lamp. (Ideal for purchase if you co-habitate with the Gemini in question.)
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 a panoply of new clips that’ll make them feel as French and chic as their chignon.
Get to gifting – and we’ll meet you back here next month to coach you through the process of pleasing a Cancer.
