Are friends, family members and significant others passing you festive wish lists for

the Christmas shopping season? Are you stressing about office Secret Santa gifts that you don’t want to mess up? Besides considering the recipient’s interests, I look to the stars for inspiration and gift ideas. You never know, some of these suggestions may do the trick!

Fire Signs

Aries , Leo , Sagittarius

For the fiery and never boring fire signs that love to mingle, consider mini statement pieces and accessories that they can wear straight away, like this fluffy and easy-to-style hat perfect for winter. They’re also keen on eye-catching visuals, so a colorfully patterned cardigan is a good place to start! If you’re contemplating a baguette bag for a fire sign, opt for one with extra details like a croc grain design, or go for one in a bolder color!

At a cozy sleepover, a celestially embroidered T-shirt, fluffy PJs and a pair of food-themed socks can boost their festive mood without compromising on comfort. Or keep their competitive spirits up with a friendly game of mini mahjong!

At a friend’s:

Earth Signs

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth signs tend to be enamored with material objects, particularly the finer things in life. They’re also super hard workers, so one approach is to select gifts that pamper and de-stress! A quick-drying hair towel is a thoughtful essential that allows them to free up time to relax in their silky pajamas and furry slippers. Add a sleeping eye mask so they can enjoy some much needed beauty sleep!

When it comes to gatherings, earth signs are always impeccably and effortlessly dressed. These comfy, versatile and uber-cool Mary Janes would elevate their simple outfits, and this luscious satin slip is already party-ready! For the more reserved or those sensitive to the cold, consider gifting a classic turtleneck or a sophisticated long coat.

Simple luxuries:

Party with class:

Air Signs

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs are the chameleons in any social setting. Adept in both deep convos and small talk, they have a knack for getting the party rolling and a keen eye for aesthetics. Give quirky hair accessories a shot, like these gummy candy-shaped barrettes. Or impress them with a stylish and cool ensemble that combines trends with classics, like a trendy slipdress and a retro-futuristic pleather jacket that oozes Matrix vibes. Do encourage them to keep a roll-on perfume at hand – no outfit is complete without a designated scent!

For the air signs who value their downtime more, surprise them with an unusual glass milk carton adorned with kawaii motifs. It can be used for hot and cold beverages! Other cozy gift ideas: a pastel knitted cardigan, a teddy bear iPad pouch or these adorable and fuzzy socks that come in cute packaging.

Social butterflies:

Happily homebound:

Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Waters signs are all about vibes, and they usually make their preferences obvious (look to their desks, homes or social media feeds). Instead of adding things to their already carefully coordinated spaces, treat them to an at-home spa from head to toe. Start with a scalp massage during their hair wash, followed by a fragrant body scrub to reveal smoother and softer skin. Finish the pampering session with a soy milk bubble bath and a foot mask!

Satisfy water signs in the clothing department with pieces that are pretty, comfy and functional, like this acrylic butterfly hair claw. A shearling jacket not only looks and feels like a giant teddy bear, but should keep them warm too! Tap into their dreamy and escapist needs with a romantic floral number or, for the edgier water signs, a butterfly-motif crop top.
