Aries
The ~stars~ are making Aries hyperfocused on career and self-image right now (get yours, girl), so practical gifts—like a new coffee machine that will jolt them awake during the weekdays or some profesh-looking red booties—will get the biggest (and most sincere) thank-yous.
Taurus
Our Taurean friends are ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty. So it’s in everyone’s best interest to give them pretty things, including but not limited to chic bags, delish-smelling spritzes, and silk pillowcases that’ll keep their hair and skin on point. Plus, this year, they’re focusing on their career and rep, so give ’em a planner to help them keep all their meetings straight!
Gemini
Y’all know our sweet Gems, with all their diverse interests, are not the easiest to shop for—but they do love learning, so books or movies are always a good bet. Plus, right now, they’re focused on education and travel (when that’s a thing again), so indulge their brainy, road-tripper side.
Cancer
Shouting for the people in the back: A generic gift won’t cut it for Cancers. But if you just can’t think of a cute inside-joke prezzie, go for home decor. Nothing’s more important to a crab than feeling nice and nested. BTW: This year, they’re getting into the ~occult~, so give ’em all the tarot decks and astro books you can find.
Leo
Leos were born to be ~stars~ so give ’em anything sparkly or shiny. But this year, they’re focusing on their relationships rather than standing solo in the spotlight, so anything they can share with their boo or BFF is also a great choice.
Virgo
Honestly, just knowing that you thought of them is gift enough for Virgos. But with Jupiter sitting in their 6th house of health and work this year, they’ll especially appreciate you if you help them level up their self-care routine or give them some pretty but practical office accessories.
Libra
Libras are probably the most stylish sign of the zodiac, so get them anything pretty! If you need more inspo, Jupiter is currently in their 5th house of romance, sex, creativity, and fun, so they’ll appreciate anything they can use to help them experiment with their ~look~, have a blast with their S.O., or get deeper into art/music/movies/books.
Scorpio
Scorpios are naturally ~deep~, and right now, Jupiter is in their 4th house of home/family/the past, so your Scorpy friend is getting even more nostalgic and sentimental than usual. Give ’em something from the heart, paired with a sweet note about how much they mean to you—or something to help them cozy up their home. Of course, anything that contributes to their notoriously sexy, vampy look is a plus too.
Sagittarius
You adventurous friend called: They want all this fun outdoorsy winter stuff this year, and yeah, they’re taking up skiing, so those goggles are absolutely necessary. They’re also making new connections, so give them something they can use with their friends.
Capricorn
Caps have an eye for quality, and this year, they’re especially focused on their status and reputation. You don’t need to spend $3,000 on a designer bag for them (although they wouldn’t turn it down), but give them clothes/jewelry/decor in a classic style—something they can wear to their next Zoom job interview.
Aquarius
Aquarius is the weirdo of the zodiac (that’s a compliment!), so get them anything that caters to their strange hobbies to show them you love them. Right now, Jupiter is in their 1st house of appearance and self-expression, so anything that helps them change up their look or experiment with a new communication style is a good move.
Pisces
Our fave fishies always love anything sweet and cozy, but this year, Jupiter’s in their house of isolation so they’re taking plenty of me-time. Give them art supplies, coloring books, and self-care products and you’ll be their favorite friend.
