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

Honed Nutrition

Scorpios are growth-oriented. 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! They might prioritize work and relationships over their health, leaving them in a cycle of wishing they felt better, and yet never having the time to accomplish a complicated meal prep on Sunday afternoons. 

Start by amping up their beverage options with some adaptogens and electrolytes. Gift The Starter Kit of adaptogenic blends from Clevr, LMNT in bulk for some supercharged hydration, and Táche’s Pistachio Milk Latte for indulgent caffeine on the go.

Gift a meal delivery service and some biohacking beverages for an amazing birthday month (and a precursor to what will surely be a busy holiday season). 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 Purple Carrot for the plant-forward Scorpio, Organic Oren for the LA-based Erewhon lover, and Provenance Meals for the gluten and dairy-free health optimizer. 

A Streamlined Beauty Routine

Scorpios love looking beautiful as much as the next sign, 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 for a tinted moisturizer that delivers simultaneous sun protection and a glowing complexion, along with a lipliner and gloss set to complete their look in just a few swipes. From Merit, gift the Five Minute Morning for a pre-assembled routine that will have them ready for the day (or night) ahead, no additional materials required.

As if I’d forgotten about the haircare. Send your Scorpio Crown Affair’s Hair Refresh Set and a few clips for when updo inspiration strikes – Scorpios have a predilection for transformation and revamping their look in five minutes or less. To elevate their at-home self-care ritual, throw in ROZ’s Foundation Mask and Willow Glen Treatment Oil.

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.” 

For a fail-proof option, turn to maude, which offers a few beautifully-bundled sets. The vibe + shine set is an ideal addition to your Scorpio’s self-intimacy routine. And what about some very chic natural condoms, because we love safety, and a condom that can be described as chic. Tack on OSEA’s Total Body Glow Trio for some head-to-toe self-love.

If your Scorpio prefers to enhance their libido from the inside out, send Moon Juice’s Sex Dust, which packs adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs that boost vitality, blood flow, and hormonal balance, and mix seamlessly into your morning coffee. Throw in a bottle of SuperYou for daily stress relief and cortisol regulation. Better sex, energy, and mood with just a few pills and potions.

Pamper Them Properly

Chances are, your Scorpio might just want a day completely to themselves, spent luxuriating in a spa or turning up the heat in a sauna. Gift them a cutting edge treatment from Le Jolie Spa in LA or, if they’re based in California or Canada, send them a gift card for a luxurious and tech-driven facial from Formula Fig. The OSEA Skincare Studio in Venice is also not to be missed. If they’re more the bodywork type, gift a massage from The NOW or a month-long membership to their favorite movement studio. (My picks: Silver Springs in LA, Sky Ting in New York or Sky Ting TV from anywhere.)

Every Scorpio could use a chill pill (don’t take that the wrong way, Scorpio readers). Send a bottle of Full Spectrum CBD Gummies from Cornbread to help them chill out – which just so happens to pair very well with a massage or facial.

Footwear For Their Fall Wardrobe

Shoes may be a daring gift, but high risks yield high rewards (especially when it comes to Scorpios). Pick your poison:

For the professional or the prep: Jamie Haller or Freda Salvador Loafers

For the ballet flat devotee: M. Gemi’s buttery soft Una or Bibi Lou’s feminine Ballet Pump

For a feminine autumnal energy: Christy Dawn’s Yoko Boot

For the GORP-oriented: Salomon’s XT-6

Sweet And Spicy Scents To Match Their Energy

Match your Scorpio’s intensity – and sweetness beneath their protective exterior – with some fragrances that will infuse their home with all things depth and complexity. These candles contain multitudes:

Le Feu De L’eau Cardamom

P.F. Candle Co. Vanilla & Ghost Pepper

Diptyque Feu de Bois (Wood Fire)

LOEWE Wasabi or Tuberose Candles
