Gifts Inspired by Astrology

Aries
March 21 – April 19

Aries are not good spectators.  They like to get in on the action – they’re adventurous, active and outgoing.  The world is a magical place and Aries loves to travel and escape.  

Because of their active nature, Aries produces many great athletes.  They are great candidates for extreme sports equipment, or gifts of travel to exotic locations.  They love to stand out from the pack so gadgety toys, status symbols and the latest trends are good bet for your Aries.

Taurus
April 20 – May 20

Taurus is a gourmand with a taste for the finer things in life.  They have a well-earned reputation as socializers, but are discretely guarded and generally come off as cool, calm and collected.

Taurus loves gifts that stimulate the senses:  gourmet foods, comfort and luxury items for the home, music, and women appreciate necklaces.

Gemini
May 21 – June 20

Gemini is thirsty for new experience: for them, variety is the spice of life.  They are multi-facetted and are happy to know a little about everything and not a lot about any one thing before they move on to the next.  They are notorious talkers and are often gifted writers and strong in languages.

Gemini is the sign of the twins.  They are happy to receive anything in pairs, but thrive on mental stimulation:  the latest novel or a magazine subscription, documentary videos, cellular phones, and internet and travel accessories will satisfy Gemini’s thirst for stimulation.

Cancer
June 21 – July 22

Cancer is a bundle of contradictions:  like the crab, their hard exteriors protect their soft, sensitive interiors.  They are very attached to their families and their homes.

Cancer loves to be pampered: they enjoy gift baskets packed with their favourite goodies, candle lit dinners, cookbooks, wine, and handmade or personal gifts.

Leo
July 23 – August 22

Leo lives royally!  They are charismatic and positive thinking: they enjoy bountiful friendships and opportunities, and survive stormy times with good humor and style.  Flattery gets you everywhere with Leo:  pride is their weakness.

Luxury is key for these kings (and queens!): designer watches and gold jewellery, pens, gourmet foods, and champagne, or pamper them with gift certificates for a massage or facial.

Virgo
August 24 – September 23

Virgo is practical and enjoys finding ways to make things work more efficiently.  They are wonderfully kind-hearted and have an amazing ability to find faith in others, even though their kindness is often taken advantage of.

Virgo loves organization: think leather briefcase, organizers, PDA’s and accessories, or a tool kit.  They are also fastidious about their homes – a new cleaning gadget, or a home décor item will be appreciated.

Libra
September 24 – October 23

Libra is happy go lucky and charming.  They are ruled by Venus (the planet of love and beauty) and are prone to fantasizing about their perfect prince or princess.  They strive for harmony and balance in their lives and they love beauty.

Libra appreciates tasteful and elegant:  ornaments for the home, candlestick holders, a silver frame, or artifacts like a carved door-knocker or sculpted mirror.

Scorpio
October 24 – November 22

Scorpio is dark and mysterious and wise beyond their years.  They make extremely loyal friends, although they also find it next to impossible to forgive should you ever cross them.

Scorpio is known for their passion in relationships so lingerie is appreciated.  They also enjoy dark glasses or hats – anything to conceal their dark nature.  Scorpio likes to know things:  books and videos on little known subjects will inspire.

Sagittarius
November 23 – December 21

Sagittarius is spontaneous and open-minded and possesses boundless optimism: they are able to visualize a goal and make it theirs with no trouble. Sagittarius doesn’t want baggage, but when they find their true love, they are big-hearted, fun-loving and generous companions.

Sagittarius loves travel and adventure so look to for travel bags, suitcases or books and movies on exotic locations.  They are also active and appreciate sports equipment or gym memberships.  Sagittarius loves animals so a gift geared towards their pets will always go over well!

Capricorn
December 22 – January 20

Capricorn is ambitious and practical with a great sense of humour.  They are consistent and conscientious workers and borderline workaholics who need to find a balance between work and play.  They are motivated by success, money, status and love and they make strong and sympathetic friends.

Capricorn loves history and tradition.  They would appreciate antiques, family heirlooms or anything with status attached.  They also enjoy entertaining so cutlery, crockery, placemats, napkins, etc. are a source of great pleasure for them.

Aquarius
January 21 – February 19/p>

Aquarius is inventive and in true non-conformist fashion, is known for marching to the beat of a different drum.  They are outgoing, amiable and extremely loyal.  They are uniquely objective and don’t often let their emotions get in the way.  Many Aquarians suffer from insomnia as they never stop thinking.

Since Aquarius is non-conformist, they are impressed by unconventional gifts: new age and astronomy fascinates them so books, DVD’s and gift certificates relating to both are good gifts.  They are also impressed by unique personal gifts but are equally as happy to open up the latest iPod, laptop or DVD.

Pisces
February 20 – March 20

Pisces is romantic and passionate.  They are dreamers who live in a world of beautiful fantasies.  They are sensitive and kind, and tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves.  Most are extremely talented and gifted, and are trendsetters in fashion and art.

Pisces, the fish, loves the water so anything to do with swimming or surfing will be appreciated.  Because of their dreamy romantic nature, they are also suckers for luxury bath oils, candles, love songs, scrap books, photo frames and photographic equipment.
