Virgo season has arrived – and with it (the notion of) cooler temperatures and a compulsion to color code your calendar and closet. Virgos know exactly what they want, so finding the perfect gift can be stress-inducing. I’m here to help, because you’re better than an envelope of cold hard birthday cash that says “I love you, but I don’t know you well enough to please you.”
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 between indulgence and utility.

Build Their Perfect Capsule Wardrobe
Virgos are typically type A. Their athleisure is meticulously folded and filed by activity and color, their outfits set aside the night before for quick-changing from pilates to the office. Make no mistake: they’re still one of the most stylish people you know, and won’t leave the house in anything less-than-perfectly tailored or pressed. Add some new items to their capsule wardrobe to make getting dressed (and feeling hot) ten times easier, whether they’re running to 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 baby tee or long-sleeve from Flore Flore (you can’t go wrong with anything on their site); and a beautiful bra from Araks that’ll make them feel like a million bucks under anything they’re wearing. Virgos usually lean towards solid, bold colors – but you know them best.
Shop athleisure from Girlfriend Collective for the Virgo who packs in pilates before brunch. Pick from Jenni Kayne’s cashmere pullovers and cardigans for the Virgo you really adore – the price point is reflective of the quality, I promise. Nothing says it’s fall (and it’s your birthday) like a cashmere sweater they’ll never take off. And because all Virgos love a uniform, you’d be wise to shop from LESET’s world of matching pairs. Pointelle for easy weekends filled with errands and housework; cotton or satin for their day-to-night ensemble. Best of luck resisting a purchase for your own wardrobe.
For The Virgo Who Really Needs To Chill TF Out
While a Virgo’s perfectionist tendencies can be one of their greatest strengths, this often manifests as…a neurotic need for control that perhaps creates unnecessary suffering? Don’t shoot the messenger. Select a few soothing tinctures from Wooden Spoon Herbs and pills and potions from Moon Juice – because a daily sense of calm is the best gift ever, full stop. They’ll likely get the most potent benefits from WSH’s Tranquility Tonic and Moon Juice’s Spirit Dust or SuperYou, all of which are formulated with powerful (science-backed) herbs and adaptogens that promote calm, nourish the nervous system, and help the body and mind adapt to daily stressors. And everyone could use a little Magnesi-Om for some extra restful sleep. Go ahead, restock your supply, too.
And what I personally believe to be the best birthday gift for any sign, but is particularly suited for a high-stress Virgo: send them a gift card from THE NOW, which they can redeem for an incredibly relaxing massage that will melt away their worries and might even melt them onto the massage table.

Organize Their Life – From Their Countertop To Their Carry-All
If you don’t already get the gist – or if you haven’t noticed from your own experience – 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 set of non-toxic cleaning supplies from Branch Basics that’ll replace all of their other cleaning supplies with one streamlined system. (The words streamline and system alone are every Virgo’s dream.)
While I, as a Libra, am likely to be found with an assortment of items and lip products jumbled alongside my laptop and notebooks in a massive tote, a Virgo shudders at the thought of such disorder. Every item has its designated place in a Virgo’s life; why not upgrade their go-to carriers? For the weekend or date night, a shoulder bag from Charles & Keith will do the trick (and won’t require significant financial investment on your part). For organizing every piece of produce or beach day essentials, the Agnes Baddoo leather and canvas Market Sac is the stuff of fantasy; the brand’s leather pieces make for the perfect carry-all work bag.
Virgos Deserve A Little (Or A Lot) Of Sparkle
You don’t have to be a Virgo to love fine jewelry. For the Virgo you just started dating, send a delicate piece they’ll layer on repeat. Perhaps the Satellite Necklace or Sapphire Choker from Mejuri, or an earring set from Flaire & Co. For the Virgo you really, really adore, 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, rendered in Sterling Silver on a paperclip chain. Kinn Studio’s Tennis Bracelets scream Virgo energy – in a hushed tone fit for a Country Club court.
Objects Of Beauty To Simplify Their Morning (Or Date Night) Routine
The Virgo you know is geared towards optimization and simplification, and probably has their morning routine down to a science. Enhance their ten-minute (and never ten-step) regimen with some heavy hitters from MERIT and Saie. MERIT’s Great Skin Serum and brand new paired Moisturizer will set them up for a stellar glow from morning to night. Send Saie’s Do It All Duo to perfect their complexion and ILIA’s Multi-Stick for a kiss of color on the lips and cheeks. They’ll be out the door in no time. Maison Louis Marie’s Perfume Oil Discovery Set is just the cherry on top, an ideal present for keeping a Virgo smelling (and feeling) great at any hour of their very busy day.
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.
