Gift Ideas by Zodiac Sign

Have someone on your list that has you stumped in the gift department? You might want to take into account their sun sign in order to choose the perfect gift. Sun signs can be reliable guides to what gifts would be appreciated.

Aries- (March 21 - April 19) Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and they like being first at everything. They love attention and they love action. A gift that would make Aries the center of attention will be a hit. They are also daredevils and usually pretty sporty. I happen to know a certain Aries who wants the video game Rock Band, in which one gets to pretend to be a rock star. Very Aries. Tickets to a sporting event are also a good bet as a gift for Aries. As is anything that plays into a sense of adventure. Think sky diving lessons. They also tend to like the latest electronic gadgets. For an affordable gift a book of local hiking trails would be great.

Taurus- (April 20 - May 20) Taurus likes the finer things. Looking around a Taurus abode will show you they like the creature comforts very much. Gifts that are luxurious or which create a sense of comfort will go over well. Wine, gourmet goodies, jewelery, a cashmere throw, silk pillows, or fine chocolates are good gift choices. Or perhaps a beautiful robe or dressing gown and nice soft slippers. Any of these gifts will make Taurus happy. Taurus's generally appreciate music as well.

Gemini- (May 21 - June 20) Gemini is the communicator of the zodiac. They love to talk, text message, email, you name it. Any communications gadgets Gemini doesn't already have (and Gemini will have a lot) is perfect. Consider cell phone minutes or internet gadgets as well. Books are also very much appreciated for Geminis of either sex. They have a lot of interests so finding a subject shouldn't be too tough. Just look through the books they already have as a guide. Anything pertaining to travel, from tickets to travel guides is a great gift for Gemini.

Cancer- (June 21 - July 22) Cancer is the real homebody of the zodiac. Gifts for the home are very good for Cancer. Cooking related items especially. Cookbooks, kitchen equipment, gourmet ingredients would be perfect gifts. Cancer is also very sentimental, so handmade items might be appreciated gifts. Candles, silver jewelry and bath things are also nice gifts for Cancer.

Leo- (July 23 - August 22) Leos are the kings and queens of the zodiac. They are regal and have a flair for the dramatic. Theater tickets will always be popular gifts. They tend to like high quality accessories and jewelry (particularly gold). A spa getaway would be a great hit with a Leo- someplace where he or she could be pampered and treated like the star every Leo really is deep inside. Leos tend to be proud of their manes so hair accessories are a good gift idea.

Virgo- (August 23 - September 22) Virgo is the organizer of the zodiac. They are practical and neat. Anything that promotes organization is a good gift for Virgo. Seriously, organizing things is primary interest to most Virgos. Just ask the Virgo what his or her scheme is for arranging the sock drawer. There will likely be a detailed on. Don't even think about flashy either. A how to book or a book about some practical interest of Virgo's will be a nice gift. Something down-to-earth. If your Virgo gardens a book on gardening, for instance would be a thoughtful gift.

Libra-(September 23 - October 22) Poor Libra is forever trying to find balance, to make up his or her mind, to create harmony. Anything that can help create an ambiance of serenity will always be a good gift for a Libra. Elegance is of the utmost importance to Libra as well. Silk scarves, fine candle sticks, or anything that exudes a quiet beauty. Anything that smacks of exclusivity is a gift Libra will savor. The best restaurant in town, the opera or the symphony, for example.

Scorpio- (October 23 - November 21) Scorpios love mystery. Dark glasses are a great gift for this zodiac sign. Spy gadgets are also quite fascinating to Scorpios. A book about lost treasures, unsolved mysteries, or unsolved crimes would make an intriguing gift. Depending upon your relationship something sexy or sensuous might be an appropriate gift. A book on cold reading would be a great idea, or maybe tantric yoga.

Sagittarius- (November 22 - December 21) Sagittarius is fun loving, active, sporty, and an adventurer. Sports are often an interest so tickets to a sporting event, sports equipment, or fitness related things are good gifts. An adventurous outing like a hot air balloon ride might make Sagittarius' day. This zodiac sign loves travel, so travel related gifts are good. A trip to someplace far away with a very different culture would be a Sagittarius dream gift.

Capricorn- (December 22 - Januray 19) Capricorns tend to eschew the trendy. They love old things. Something both practical and beautiful will please, like an antique desk set. A fine fountain pen might also be a great gift for a Capricorn. Antique jewelry is a nice idea too, perhaps even a watch because it's practical. Above all don't bother with newfangled gadgets for a Capricorn as you will likely be wasting your money and wasting money doesn't impress Capricorn.

Aquarius- (January 20 - February 18) Anything offbeat is a gift for an Aquarian. Astronomy is a frequent interest, so Aquarians love telescopes, star charts, books on astronomy and other things space related. Try Edmund Scientifics online for gifts to thrill an Aquarian. Many Aquarians also like New Age things.

Pisces- (February 19 - March 20) Pisces rules photography and film. A camera, a DVD of a classic film would be nice. Water related gifts are also good. Bath items are perfect for Pisces. Think scented bath salts, scented oils, candles. A trip to the coast or a lake will make a Pisces happy. Pisces are some of the more sentimental people in the zodiac, so something personal is always appreciated. A romantic night out followed by a walk in the park after dark, for instance. Also, things that capture the imagination, like theater or symphony tickets.
