If you’ve ever wanted to get inside of someone’s mind to simplify the whole holiday gifting process, look no further. I believe astrology is best used not predictively, but to better understand ourselves and others. And, when gifting, is that not exactly what we need?
Be it for your sibling, coworker, or lover, this guide is as people-pleasing as a Libra (I can say that, because I am one). The only thing better than reading someone’s mind is reading their birth chart.

Aries
Known as the hotheads and charismatic social leaders of the zodiac, the Aries in your life can always use more tools for decompressing and enjoying solitude. Placate an Aries’ fiery bite, and you’ll earn their steadfast loyalty (a worthy prize). Send Wooden Spoon Herbs’ Rose-Colored Glasses ($29) for a daily dose of optimism and good cheer. For the Aries who’s in dire need of a bodywork self-care routine – whether they’re spending long hours at their desk or perhaps they’re simply human and accumulating stress in every nook and cranny – gift WTHN’s Acupressure Mat Set ($78) and Rose Quartz Eye Mask ($75). Throw in Moon Juice’s new Sleepy Magnesi-Om ($38) for some deep REM rest.
Aside from calming their fire, you may also want to stoke it – it is, after all, one of Aries’ trademark qualities! Pick out a set from Alo Yoga and some Bala Bangles ($55), so that they can look hot and excel in their next yoga or pilates class. Fire up their kitchen with Fly By Jing’s Tis The Season(ing) Box ($95), complete with the brand’s Sichuan Chili Crisp, Chengdu Crunch, Xtra Spicy Chili Crisp, Zhong Sauce, Mala Spice Mix, and Fire Hot Pot Base for spicing up home cooking. And then invite yourself over for dinner.
Taurus
The resident hedonist of the Zodiac, a Taurus loves nothing more than indulgent, luxurious, and cozy gifts that will enable their homebody tendencies. For the Taurus who loves dessert by the fire, send Ghia’s The Bestseller Bundle ($56), complete with Ghia’s highly addictive non-alcoholic spritzes; a set of two Ghiandujas for drizzling on ice cream or eating by the spoonful; and a puzzle of your choosing. Throw in some delicious, aromatic, buttery popcorn from Cheerie Lane (from $24) for memorable movie nights from now until spring. Why stop there? Let’s get thee to the chocolate factory. Spring & Mulberry’s Complete Holiday Collection ($115) for the farm-to-table palette, Compartes’ Luxury Chocolate Classics for the epicure or hedonist you adore.
To really spoil your Taurus – with the most luxurious of luxe gifts – pick out a gift set from Augustinus Bader (from $100). Their skin will thank you for years to come.
Taureans are also well-known for their green thumbs (or at least for a special connection to and love for the earth). Nurture their cottage-core fantasies with the gift to end all gifts, a Lettuce Grow Farmstand Nook ($699). Throw in a chic watering pale ($38) and you might just reap the benefits of their burgeoning herb garden.

Gemini
While this sign often gets dismissed as two-faced and mercurial, Geminis are actually far more nuanced. Known for their strong opinions, bold personalities, and charismatic duality, Geminis often have incredibly busy lives – with social and professional obligations in spades. Gift them a beautiful calendar or notebook from Papier (bonus points for customization) to help them get a handle on their schedule and multi-hyphenate lifestyle.
And because they’re always on-the-go, they might need hydration and caffeination in their pocket. Send a bulk box of LMNT (the Chocolate Salt is habit-forming, in a good way), a curated Cometeer box, some luxurious TACHE pistachio milk, and a chic Kinto tumbler to keep things secure and warm. It’ll simplify their morning routine without sacrificing novelty and excitement – ideal for a Gemini who always likes to switch up their flavor.
For the fashion-minded Gemini who appreciates a polished outfit they don’t have to overthink, gift a pair of sleek Le Specs and a ribbed set from Donni. Build a dreamy LESET if you really want to spoil them – which you should. Get into the holiday cheer, honey.
Cancer
Cancers are known for being the caregivers of the zodiac — and are often the primary gift-givers in their relationships. Cancers deserve gifts that enable them to nest or nourish – or both. Send them a bevy of beautiful tinctures to encourage rest and bring out their inner radiance, like Snakeroot Apothecary’s Loving Care ($30) tincture and Spirit Soother ($22) flower essence or one of Alexis Smart’s brilliant Beauty Formulas ($45). To hygge their home, pick from a litany of aromatic delights: Maison Louis Marie’s limited edition Le Refuge d’Ernest holiday candle ($38), P.F. Candle Co’s Spiced Pumpkin ($20), and any of Liis’s delightful candles ($65).
The Cancer in your life is one of those home cooks that somehow makes everything look easy and taste unbelievably delicious. Make their life – and wintry, nourishing meals – one million times easier with Our Place’s Dream Cooker ($225). After all that cooking, this Cancer could use a little pampering. Send them chic and cozy socks from Le Bon Shoppe and some very luxurious bath essentials ($146) from Flamingo Estate.

Leo
Leos, always the stars of every party, deserve gifts that help them shine — and place them at the square center of attention. If it feels over the top, you’re in the right place. And you can’t go wrong with some literal sparkle. Pick out a sapphire ring from O.P.P., a beautiful initial necklace (from $275) from J. Hannah, or a glass charm ($69) from Notte.
To amp up their glam (because duh, a Leo loves to look gorgeous and throw on a pop of lip or shadow color), shop some shine from Saie and Merit. Send Saie’s Mini Glowy Super Gel Duo ($24) and a Lip Combo ($37) (I love the Surreal and Pop shades), and Merit’s The Mini Flush Balm Trio ($39), complete in beautiful holiday packaging. To go the extra mile, send Sephora’s Advent Calendar (From $50), guaranteed to thrill the Leo in your life. What’s better than a gift that goes on for 24 days?
Virgo
Virgos are precise, particular, and will cherish gifts that they’ll use and appreciate on the regular. They know exactly what they like — and you can, too. Gift them Oprah and Meghan Markle’s favorite The Clevr Collection ($169) to elevate their morning ritual, infusing brain and mood-boosting adaptogens with cozy, creamy flavors that simply taste amazing. Bonus points for that adaptogen-influenced calm and focus to counterbalance your Virgo’s busy agenda.
Does your Virgo have demanding standards for the quality of their kitchen tools? Material Kitchen’s Good Prep Set ($210) will elevate their home chef precision with three investment knives, a sharpener, and a cutting board — a trio made in heaven for a Virgo’s (lovable) perfectionist tendencies. Send Brightland’s Mini Artist Series ($85) and Jacobsen Salt Co.’s Infused Tins ($38), so they’re never without the finest quality essentials. Add some immaculate Dusen Dusen napkins (from $32) for adorable decor (and immaculate countertops) 24/7.
The perfect Virgo holiday gift is all about striking a balance. Think: pragmatic luxury. Send them Soft Services’ Smoothing Duo ($56) and Goop’s Everything Shower Kit ($154) — sending holiday cheer from brands that deliver on efficacy and indulgence in equal parts.

Libra
Flowers are the universal fail-proof gift for any Libra in your life, be it a dozen roses for a lover or an artful bouquet for your dearest friend. Browse some of my favorite digital flower repositories, many of which work with local florists to deliver delight directly to your door, like Urban Stems, Bouqs, Farmgirl Flowers, and Floom. Throw in this vase ($100), because I’m a Libra and have been wanting it for years now. A natural pairing with flowers? Beautiful scents, like a floral-inspired fragrance from Liis or a Diptyque candle.
Libras are known to be the reigning social butterflies of the zodiac. They’ll need some hosting essentials, like everyone’s favorite Sunny Tahini and Gohar World tablescape delights. And what to wear — perhaps a perfect Doen dress gifted by you? Or a Tekla Robe for a breakfast party? Send a curated bundle from The Waves, for three bottles of delicious natural wine selected by sommeliers, and Bilboquet Wine Glasses ($100) from Sophie Lou Jacobsen for a pour that’s almost too beautiful to drink.
Scorpio
Known for their trademark enigma and intense passion, Scorpios have particular (and dedicated) tastes, with a predilection for all things mysterious, occult, and even seductive. Gift them Birthdate’s Tarot Trio ($115), complete with three candles that burn to reveal gold-plated tarot cards that will grant insight into their past, present, and future. Add a pristine essential tee ($105) from Flore Flore or Doen’s Callia pointelle cap sleeve ($108), because a Scorpio’s basics are anything but.
You can never go wrong with gifting a Scorpio some fun, flirty lingerie – depending on your relationship to the Scorpio in question, of course. Use your best judgment. Pick out something from Else lingerie (think: lacy, mauve, or black) to make your Scorpio feel like a million bucks. Why not throw in a jar of Sex Dust?
You’ll also earn points for an olfactory gift that delivers seductive, spiced, and complex scents. Gift them a beautiful candle from AMASS that will warm up their home, like the seasonal Four Thieves scent ($48), or a bundle from P.F. Candle Co (from $24). Keep their personal preferences in mind, and consider that Scorpios are partial to musky but seductive scents.
Sagittarius
This sign is all about exploration and spontaneity – you’ll want to focus your gifting around items that support their adventurous spirit. Send them a holy grail tote from Dragon Diffusion ($434) – with a leather basket weave this chic, it’ll be hard to generously gift it to someone other than yourself. They’ll need a cosmetic bag, like this lilac dream from Saie ($35), and one of Cuyana’s pebbled leather travel cases for their jewelry organization needs.
A Sagittarius values thoughtful, quality gifts that streamline their life without sacrificing style. Pick out something they can throw on and forget about – while still looking effortlessly chic – like some breezy cotton twill from Dal the Label or a pair of timeless and sustainable straight-leg jeans from RE/DONE. Go with any of the dreamy cashmere from Guest In Residence, and this Sagittarius might just invite you on their next adventure.
If they’re in LA or New York, why not spoil them with a visit to Remedy Place? Send a gift card for your spontaneous Sag to go on a journey, from an ice bath to an infrared sauna (to hyperbaric oxygen to cryotherapy…the list goes on).
Capricorn
The Capricorn you know has their shit together: they’re ambitious, probably a perfectionist, loves a planner and a tight schedule, has a 20-year-plan. They’re often all work and no play, so they’ll truly appreciate gifts that make life not only easier, but also a little more fun. Gift them a meal kit or delivery service like Sakara, Thistle, or for the lucky L.A. resident, Organic Oren, and they’ll think of you fondly as they remember to nourish themselves along their path to professional and personal greatness.
Similarly, treats that remind them to indulge and simultaneously pack a nutritious punch – like a Honey Mama’s Variety Pack ($54), or mushroom-boosted Alice Mushrooms and so-decadent-it-can’t-be-this-healthy Dalci brownies and blondies – make for ideal stocking stuffers. (You can also use Honey Mama’s as gelt over a competitive game of dreidel. Trust me, I’ve tried it.)
For a gift that’s truly unique, and well-suited to the Capricorn who has a fondness for seasonal tree-to-table produce, send a box of Yes! Apples to their door (exclamation point necessary, because they’re that good). Flamingo Estate’s Roma Heirloom Tomato Dish Soap ($30) is the perfect add-on, considering your Capricorn can’t bear even the thought of a messy kitchen.
Aquarius
One of my favorite signs of the zodiac (don’t tell the others), Aquarians are dreamers, with brilliant creative minds. Shopping for an Aquarius is just pure fun. Brighten their whimsical kitchen with a Graza Gift Set ($42), a duo of olive oil (one for drizzling, another for sizzling). Bring a drizzle of culinary and cognitive creativity to their Sunday pancakes with Rainbo’s Forest Juice ($31), made with sweet Canadian maple sap, Lion’s Mane, and Reishi. Send this Ceramic Egg Candle ($32) designed by Collin Garrity for a countertop delight that’s as inventive and imaginative as they are.
Never one to shy away from the experimental, your Aquarius will love sipping on hemp and adaptogen sodas ($30 per 6-pack) from Recess, or sampling some delicious CBD gummies from Dad Grass. If they prefer THC, Rose Los Angeles’ Turkish Delight-style infused gummies are the caviar of edibles, made in partnership with local farms and chefs and guaranteed to bring a smile or twenty to your Aquarian’s holiday season.
Pisces
Last but certainly never least, the most intuitive and empathic water sign: Pisces. This sign is not just symbolized by the fish, but also benefits from rituals related to water (like long baths, showers, or walks by the ocean). Gift them Flamingo Estate’s The Garden Tour ($195) to elevate their bathing and at-home rituals with the beauty of the Los Angeles hills, and add on OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Trio ($110) to transform their bedtime routine into a nervous system reset. For something overtly fish-related, Fishwife has designed the perfect gift: the Tinned Fish Serving Set ($140) is the stuff of Pisces’ (and tinned-fish-lovers’) dreams.
Pisces also governs the feet: give the gift of simple luxury with a few footwear classics. Shop this ideal leather ballet flat ($128) from J. Crew, a pair of forever loafers from G.H. Bass, or a cozy Ugg they’ll wear from morning to night. Lastly, upgrade their quality of sleep (Pisces rules dreams and the subconscious) with Tekla’s immaculate collection of organic Percale (from $35), or some serotonin boosting patterns from Dusen Dusen.
That concludes our complete horoscope holiday gift guide for the year. Don’t be shy, browse around in each sign’s category – you might just become the best gift giver of the season.
