It might not even be crisp yet in Los Angeles, but we’re already gearing up for Scorpio season. Known for their trademark enigma and passion that borders on obsessive, Scorpios have particular (and dedicated) tastes. It’s notoriously difficult to penetrate their guarded exterior, which makes anticipating their wishlist – and selecting the perfect gift – a little tricky.
As a fixed water sign, they’re famously intense, and are drawn to all things mysterious, occult, and even seductive. But this intensity is one of their best qualities. Once you’ve earned their love, you’ve also earned their steadfast loyalty and protection. Because I have both been wronged by Scorpio men (haven’t we all) and have Scorpio friends near and dear to me, I’m a certified expert on the subject. Have no fear of your Scorpio’s sting. Read on to read their mind.

Sets And Bold Hues For A Striking And Streamlined Beauty Routine
Scorpios love looking beautiful as much as the next sign – who doesn’t – but they’ll particularly appreciate skin and beauty rituals that deliver bold looks and efficiency in equal parts. Who has time for a million products spread across a countertop? A Libra, maybe. But certainly not a Scorpio.
Start with Saie and Merit, two brands that prioritize minimalist makeup with products that range from subtle to striking. From Saie, send the Slip Tint ($36) for a tinted moisturizer that delivers simultaneous sun protection and a glowing complexion, along with the Lip Blur ($24) in the shade that vibes with your Scorpio (I’d guess the terracotta Dada or cherry red Classic). From Merit, gift the Five Minute Morning ($176) or Eye Set ($83) for a pre-assembled routine that will have them ready for the day (or night) ahead with just a few swipes.
As if I’d forgotten about the haircare. Send your Scorpio Crown Affair’s heaven-scented Renewal Mask ($58) and Dry Shampoo ($36), and they’ll be singing your praises in the shower. Gift The Set ($220) if you really love them. Otherwise, throw in some hair clips ($54) for when updo inspiration strikes – Scorpios have a predilection for transformation.
Seductive Tools For The Sex-Positive Scorpio
If you feel close enough to your Scorpio, there’s no better gift than a little something provocative for the sign that’s often labeled the representation of “sex, death, and magic.” Lucky for you, there’s a litany of DTC brands churning out great toys and accoutrement.
For a fail-proof option, turn to chic sexual wellness company maude, which offers a few beautifully-bundled sets. The vibe + shine set ($62) is an ideal addition to your Scorpio’s self-intimacy routine. You can’t go wrong with some very chic and natural condoms, because we love safety. Tack on the tub kit no. 1 to enhance their entire evening ritual, complete with mineral salts and a skin-soothing coconut milk bath soak.
If your Scorpio prefers to work from the inside out, send SuperMush’s weirdly addictive and delicious Sex Gummies, or Moon Juice’s Sex Dust, both of which boast adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs that boost vitality, blood flow, and hormonal balance. For better sex, from drive to longevity.
Dialed-In Nourishment
Scorpios believe in growth and self-improvement. They’re ambitious, and are often thinking three (or ten) steps ahead to keep their life optimized – and their goals on track. While they might yearn to have their diet and health micromanaged to the minute, they’re only human, and there are only so many hours in the day! Do some of the work for them: gift a meal delivery service and some biohacking beverages to have them feeling 100, at least for their birthday month.
For the Scorpio who loves to eat well but often turns to takeout for the sake of time and convenience, you’ll earn the lifetime achievement award by gifting a premium meal delivery service. Go with Sakara for the vegan, Organic Oren for the LA-based Erewhon lover, and Thistle for the Scorpio across the country.
Amp up their morning and afternoon beverage ritual with some adaptogens and electrolytes. Gift The Bestsellers Kit from Clevr, LMNT in bulk for some supercharged hydration, and Wooden Spoon Herbs’ Herbal Coffee for the Scorpio whose intensity does better with a caffeine-free lifestyle.

AMASS Four Thieves Candle, $48 (Throw in their delicious Four Thieves Hand Sanitizer, while you’re at it – Scorpios err on the side of “won’t be caught dead without a stock supply of disinfecting agents.”)
