Virgo season is here – and with it, cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and a sudden urge to color code your calendar and closet. Virgos know exactly what they want, and likely won’t feign love for something they don’t. Surprising them with the perfect gift is intimidating, to say the least.
Fortunately for you, I’m here to help. While a Virgo’s particular tastes might be daunting, these qualities mean that the Virgo in your life will cherish a gift they’ll use and appreciate every day. As a sign that’s often “all business” – serious, driven, maybe even a bit neurotic – Virgos also deserve to be reminded of pleasure, rest, and even inspiration around their special day. Read on for some gifts that strike the perfect balance.

Elevate Their Capsule Wardrobe, From Pilates To Errands, from $48
Virgos are typically type A. Their athleisure might be meticulously folded and filed by activity and color – but that doesn’t mean they don’t love looking fabulous. Elevate their capsule wardrobe to make getting dressed (and feeling hot) ten times easier, whether they’re hitting a 7AM pilates sculpt or their weekly excursion to the farmer’s market.
First, some timeless essentials they’ll wear on repeat, like the chic, carpenter-esque, unisex, and string-tie adjustable Lou Pant from Gil Rodriguez; a crop tank (or three) from ARQ; and the quintessential 90s tee from Pretties Venice. Virgos usually lean towards solid, bold colors – but you know them best.
Shop bright colors and sets from Girlfriend Collective for the Virgo who packs in pilates before brunch, and Ciao Lucia’s Tennis collection for the girl who’s got a standing date on the courts before she’s off to work.
And no Virgo would be caught dead in the sun without some proper protection. Send them some shades from Le Specs – the UNREAL! shape screams intimidating-but-alluring Virgo. For THE hat to end all hats, gift the Janessa Leone Felix Bucket ($237). Know that I am not a Virgo, but this is #1 on my wishlist. It will likely show up on our Libra gift guide. You’ve been warned.

For The Virgo Who Really Needs To Chill TF Out, $36
While a Virgo’s perfectionist tendencies can be one of their greatest strengths, this can often manifest as…a neurotic need for control that perhaps creates unnecessary suffering? Select a few soothing tinctures from Wooden Spoon Herbs, 69 Herbs, and Snakeroot Apothecary – because a daily sense of calm is the best gift ever, full stop. They’ll likely get the most potent benefits from 69’s Bestseller Trio, Snakeroot’s Chill Vibes tonic, and WSH’s Anxiety Ally, all of which are formulated thoughtfully with powerful herbs that promote calm, nourish the nervous system, and help the body and mind adapt to daily stressors. (Maybe get yourself some, while you’re at it…)
Home Gardening For An Ambitious Earth Sign With A Verdant Thumb, from $100
Virgos, in addition to being preternaturally eager to pick up new projects and hobbies, are also Earth signs – inclined towards all things involving green thumbs, from indoor plants to self-sustaining gardens. For a Virgo you love and want to invest in (or maybe a Virgo you live with, because you might as well reap some benefits), buy a Lettuce Grow Farmstand Nook ($699), enabling them to grow their favorite greens in their living room. For something a little less financially daunting, send the AeroGarden ($99.95). Don’t forget to claim some foraging rights. You were the gift-giver, after all.
Dialed-In Beverages For Every Hour Of The Day
The Virgo you know is geared towards optimization, and probably already has their morning routine down to a science. Infuse their caffeination and wind-down rituals with pleasure and joy, from kicking off their morning with some extra hydration vis-a-vis Moon Juice’s new Mini Dew, to lifting their afternoon with some precious Ceremonial Matcha or a Rejuvenating set from Art Of Tea. And if they’re really a beverage fiend, why not throw in some Olipop or Ghia for cracking open any time liquid inspiration strikes?
Organize Their Life – From Their Shower To Their Stationery
If you don’t already get the gist – or if you haven’t noticed from your own experience in relation to a Virgo – this sign loves order. They might cry tears of joy if you send them a monogram Papier notebook or set of stationery. Their bathroom is likely always immaculate, but you can take it to the next level with a Buffing Bar and designated Soap Home from Soft Services. A custom home for their new favorite bar of soap? It doesn’t get better than this.
Virgos Deserve A Little (Or A Lot) Of Sparkle
You don’t have to be a Virgo to love beautiful fine jewelry. For the Virgo you just started dating, send a delicate piece they’ll layer on repeat. You can’t go wrong with the Satellite Necklace or Sapphire Choker from Mejuri, or a customized piece from The M Jewelers. For the Virgo you really, really love, select a piece from Dorsey’s vintage-inspired, lab-grown gemstone collection. If your Virgo leans more toward understated and unconventional elegance, pick out a Heart ID necklace (from $490), rendered in Sterling Silver on a paperclip chain. Why not engrave it? And for Virgos born in September, you can shop Dorsey’s White Sapphire pieces to bestow them with a very special birthstone necklace or bracelet.
Finally, you can give a Virgo a meaningful birthday gift they’ll actually use...and love. Get to shopping – and check back here next month for our complete guide to gifting a Libra.
