Leo Gift Guide: The Best Gifts For This Month, According To The Stars

Our team is dedicated to finding and telling you more about the web’s best products. If you purchase through our links, we may receive a commission. Our editorial team is independent and only endorses products we believe in.

Leos, much like the radiant, powerful Sun that marks their season, are the stars of the Zodiac. As the summer reaches its peak, it’s appropriately high time to celebrate your Leo. Known for their magnetic quality and natural ease as leaders in their social and professional lives, Leos appreciate gifts that celebrate (and amplify) their shine. Birthdays are a big deal for Leos: they’re dramatic, passionate, and love nothing more than their special month. You’re going to want to take this gifting process seriously. Study up, and make the Leos you love feel just as special as they already believe themselves to be. ;)

Skin Essentials For An Out-Of-This-World Glow

Credit: Moon Juice and Glossier

All Leos have a natural radiance – it’s just kind of what they do. Don’t question it, but DO highlight it – pun intended – with some skincare and beauty products that will let them know that you know about their extra-special glow. Moon Juice’s vitamin C and glutathione G Pack ($68) delivers an instant near-blinding, brightening effect. For an uber-juiced up gift, send the G Jelly Stack ($115) and your Leo will feel forever young; or, in the words of the Moon Juice gospel, “age is biological, not chronological.”

For some similar glow-inducing skincare with a less significant investment, shop Merit’s Great Skin instant glow serum ($38) and Living Libations’ Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, which does multi-purpose work as a cleanser, moisturizing oil, and full body oil and wash (from $31).

Most Leo’s can get down with a full makeup look. Amp up their airbrushed luminosity with the Jones Road Shimmer Face Oil ($34) and Glossier’s pearlescent Lidstar ($18).

Setting The Table For A Dramatic Celebration

Credit: Misette and Gohar World

If you aren’t throwing at least one dinner party for your Leo’s birthday, something has gone terribly wrong. At the very least, you’ll want to gift them some tableware and linens for their own soiree-oriented inclinations. Shop Misette’s beautiful linens – everyone needs a set of forever napkins ($160), and why not throw in these adorable embroidered placemats ($220) while you’re at it? Gohar World’s tablewares are ridiculously beautiful and perfect, and not nearly as expensive as they look. Pick anything and you won’t go wrong – but you’ll go extra right with a Mother of Pearl Bow Knife ($38) or this anthropomorphic Lemon Squeezer ($30).

For Their Nightstand: A Bespoke Book And Candle, $125

Credit: @birthdateco

Most Leos are – to put it plainly – in love with themselves. As they should be! Naturally, there’s nothing they’ll adore more than a custom gift that (1) allows them to read all about their personality and (2) emphasizes their best qualities every time they light a lovely, fragrant candle. Birthdate’s customized Book and Candle Bundle ($130) is as bespoke as it gets. Each candle takes into account numerology, astrology, and tarot to create a label that tells a story about their personality – the delicious custom natural fragrance and reusable glass vessel are just added bonuses. The book, meanwhile, is made-to-order and fabric-bound, with illustrations of your Leo’s unique birth chart and over 70 pages of detailed astrological analysis. Take it to the next level with a custom birthday message on the dedication page. You just officially became the best gift giver – thank me later.

For A Leo Who’s Dodging The Paparazzi And The Sun, from $45

Credit: Le Specs and Crap Eyewear

Whether they’re lounging in a string bikini at the beach or shading out paparazzi and fans with some shades at night, your Leo will love a pair of sunnies that look sleek and vintage, but feel brand new. Shop from Le Specs’ chic collection of eyewear, all of which look like they’d fit right in along the South of France or Amalfi coast. These oval tortoiseshells ($75) were made to perch on the bridge of a Leo’s nose. For the Leo who veers off the beaten path with their personal style, shop AKILA’s RAW collection (from $130), featuring sunglasses crafted from unpolished acetate for a subtle textured finish. And for a classically Malibu look, snag any pair from Crap eyewear (they’re all sexy and most are under $100, don’t overthink it).

If The Shoe Fits: Picks For A Princess

Credit: Carel and Hereu

By now we’ve acknowledged how much a Leo loves to be (and inevitably is) the celebrity within their social ecosystem. What better way to honor their star power than with a pair of shoes they can show off as they make an entrance? I’ve compiled a few different options for every type of Leo:

For the one who leans classic: a pair of patent Mary Janes from Carel ($495, perhaps your Leo needs a bright cherry red) or heeled ballet flats ($425) from Repetto.

For the bold utilitarian: structured loafers from Labucq ($340) or Hereu ($928).

For the Leo whose legs take center stage: knee high boots ($370) from Alohas (these do the job for non Leos too – take it from a Libra who loves her Alohas.)

Edible Indulgences That Will Make Them Feel Like A Billion Bucks

Credit: Spring and Mulberry and Alice Mushrooms

Is any birthday complete without a sweet treat? That’s a rhetorical question, we all know the answer! A Leo will love gifts that are as beautiful and well-branded as they are delicious. Send them some super-shroom charged Alice bars ($29) for a more delicious morning and bedtime ritual, Honey Mama’s nourishing superfood truffles, and stunning Spring & Mulberry chocolate ($15) that looks like it belongs in a museum of edible art.

Get to gifting – and I’ll meet you back here next month to coach you through the process of pleasing a Virgo (A.K.A. finding them something they actually won’t return).
