What to Buy for Each Zodiac Sign This Holiday Season
Ideally, your holiday gifts aren't simply thoughtful, they're also useful—and astrology has something to say about that. As we wind down 2019 and usher in a new decade, The AstroTwins predict what's in store for all 12 signs. Pull your presents from this cosmically curated list and give people what they actually need. (Even if they won't realize it until the December 26 solar eclipse.) We promise: They'll be thanking you until 2021!
After an expansive (but frenetic!) 2019, Aries need to channel their formidable energy toward one epic goal. As they rise back into boss mode, there may be missing essentials in their statement-heavy wardrobes. Bless your Ram with a chic power blazer or a structured leather bag for toting the tools of their trade. While Aries are often the first to rush into a mission, finishing the job can be tough for these distractible fire signs. Sign them up for sessions with a coach or trainer who can keep them focused. Aries on the influencer track will be catnip for fans and followers. Mobile accessories like ring lights and lavalier mics will turn them into one-Ram recording studios and help them rise like the stars they were born to be.
With their travel sector lit by a posse of planets, Tauruses are roaming onto greener pastures these days. But parting with their creature comforts during these global expeditions can be a struggle! Help them bring home on the road with an on-the-go kit of their favorite beauty essentials. Think: travel sized skin care sets and votive versions of their beloved candles. Don’t guess at brands! Trust us, the discerning Bull has curated a list of must-have products. Strategic snooping may be in order to get a master list of their favorites. Fashion-forward luggage accessories, or a hard-shell suitcase can keep your Taurus, er, runway chic, as they rack up frequent flier miles—maybe on their way to visityou!
How unexpected! The zodiac’s notorious social butterflies are craving more cocoon time in the new year, thanks to a heavenly huddle of planets occupying their private, mystical and erotic eighth house. Gift your Gemini a leather-bound journal—with plenty of pages ‘cause they can be wordy—or a deck of hand illustrated divination cards to guide them through introspective moments. Since they’re likely to be spending more time in bed in 2020, nightstand accessories will be a hit, like a Bluetooth speaker or ionic diffuser for essential oil. And if you know them intimately, refresh your Gem’s lingerie drawer with matching sets or sexy sleepwear.
Relationships have been deepening in powerful ways for Cancers, and that trend continues into the new decade. You may be ready to bestow your Crab with a significant piece of jewelry—if not a ring for that finger, maybe matching best friend necklaces, or a family heirloom that you have updated by a jeweler. The single Crabs in your life will appreciate a bit of feng shui magic. Gift them objects in pairs that they can place around their environment, which is said to symbolically attract amour. Bonus if this “twin set” comes from the home décor category: a pair of lamps, two Moroccan wedding pillows, a cocktail shaker and two highball glasses. The zodiac’s domestic doyenne loves any gift that blesses her nest!
Healthy hedonism is a thing, and Leos are out to prove it! As planets team up in their salubrious sixth house, haute workout wear will be a staple of your lion’s 2020 wardrobe. Bring on the colorful puffer jackets, printed leggings, and the ten-pack of classes at their favorite studio. Originality is a must, so limited edition sneakers or a unique hydro-flask will hit the mark. Life at the office will be busy for Leos in 2020. Keep them powered with mobile chargers and devices that make their job more efficient.
After flying under the radar for much of 2019, Virgos are back to claim their place in the limelight. (Beyoncé, we missed you!) Restore them to their glamorous element with spa certificates and home beauty products like jade rollers or glow-enhancing skin care sets. Tasteful Virgos can be clothes hounds, and are always up for a wardrobe reboot. The only catch? This discerning sign is notoriously picky. It’s easier to just get them gift certificate to shop at their favorite atelier than to figure out the perfect silhouette for a leather jacket. If you’re brave enough to make the selection, include a gift receipt on that ribbon-tied box!
Luxuriating Libras are ready for some serious nesting—and a well-appointed home is heaven for this Venus-ruled sign. The intersection of cozy and haute is the sweet spot to aim for. Think: cashmere blankets, fleece-lined slippers, Tulum-inspired caftans for their Libra-off-duty down time. These epicureans pride themselves on being food and wine connoisseurs. You can’t go wrong with a basket of gourmet cooking essentials (imported olive oil, top shelf balsamic), a special bottle from a vineyard or some fancy barware. Or help Libra getout of the house with a pair of tickets to a cultural event like a theater performance or live concert.
After a slow-moving and industrious 2019, Scorpios are feeling vivacious and flirtatious again. In fact, 2020 could be the most outgoing year they’ve had in a long time! The transition from privacy hound to social butterfly can give these introverts anxiety. Help them ease back into the world of humans with a few clever “crutches.” People-watching at coffeeshops is better than Netflix for this zodiac sign. Hook them up with a gift certificate for a month’s worth of lattes at their favorite perch—and maybe a statement skin or colorful shell for the laptop they’re always toting around for on-the-go work. With an amazing pair of wireless headphones they can self-soothe with music (a Scorpio passion) and maybe strike up a conversation about their favorite artists after they’ve recalibrated with some playlist therapy. Scorpios love intimate gatherings, so anything from the “hostess gift” category will inspire them to have people over a little more often!
Well, this is unexpected! As 2019 winds down, the zodiac’s most expansive sign is craving…simplicity? It’s true. After a year of “too much all at once,” Sagittarius wants to streamline and find a little (or a lot) more serenity. The best thing to give your Archer this holiday season might not be a thing at all. Instead, treat the Sag in your life to an experience. With the earth element showing up strong for them in 2020, head to a snowy ski lodge or an unspoiled beach town where they can have an authentic experience mingling with the locals. Practical gifts like drawer organizers or even a consultation with a closet designer will be appreciated. Pro tip: Any material objects you present to Sagittarius should be sustainably sourced and ethically produced because Archers are obsessed with their values this year.
As of December 2, 2019, there are THREE outer planets in Capricorn—bountiful Jupiter, masterful Saturn and metamorphic Pluto. Translation? This zodiac sign is on a major reinvention tour. By the end of 2020, they’ll have grown beyond any self-imposed limits. While it can be unnerving to watch people change thismuch, the best thing to do is support them in exploring. Don’t waste money on any major investment pieces. For a change, you can give your classic Capricorn fun and trendy prezzies—denim jackets, a perfume sampler, a sparkly makeup palette. An activity date would also be their jam. A lift ticket for a day on the slopes, surf lessons, skydiving. For a change, this play-it-safe sign is ready to be a daredevil!
Meditative moments are ahead for Aquarius, who will be much more introspective than usual as the year winds down. This sign is always thinking, but their imaginations will be rich and fertile in 2020. Does your Water Bearer love to paint, garden, compose music, write poetry? Sign them up for a workshop or wrap up some creative supplies so they can develop their magic at home. Healing from the inside out is a big theme for many Aquarians who would benefit from the sage wisdom of a master guide. Send them off on that yoga retreat they keep talking about (or teacher training). Gift them a session with an astrologer, bodyworker or energy healer—and maybe slip a tarot deck in their stocking so they can develop their own intuition.
How many gadgets does one Pisces need? The answer this holiday season is: More than she has now! With a trio of planets is mingling in their tech sector, Fish are ready to embrace the ease that devices and software bring to their everyday life. Can you make their home “smarter” with temperature and light sensors or a voice-activated assistant like Alexa? As music lovers, Pisces adore a special playlist—and if you want to go bigger, gift them a great pair of headphones, a mobile speaker or tickets to a festival. 2020 promises to be a social year for Pisces, and as the sign that rules the feet, they can never have too many pairs of dancing shoes—both heels and flats!
