Happy shopping!
It’s the holiday season, and you know that means. Along with all the fun Christmas cheer, you have to find the perfect gifts for all your friends and family. This is no easy task. Coming up with fun and even remotely original holiday gift ideas is actually pretty tough.
But fear not; Entity is here to give you the ultimate guide to holiday gift ideas…based on the zodiac sign of whoever you’re shopping for, of course.
People under the sign of Aries are known to be adventurous and curious, and definitely optimistic. We suggest an experience-based gift for the Aries in your life.
Perhaps a night of adventure at an escape the room location? Aries can quickly think on their feet, and this would be the perfect time for them to show off their skills.
Besides, an activity like escape the room would be a great way to break up all the cocktail parties of this holiday season that are starting to blend together. This may not fit the criteria for normal holiday gift ideas, but we know your Aries will be happy.
People born under the sign of Taurus are generally very ambitious and love anything aesthetically pleasing, especially when it comes to the decor of their home. Tauruses are practical and reliable people, and they know what they like and what they really really don’t like.
So maybe this is a good chance to consult the Taurus in your life about their wish list before starting to shop. But just remember, anything somewhat luxurious that looks great in a home is sure to be a winning gift.
New year, new planner. Geminis love to get creative, and they’re super expressive in conversation…even with new people they’ve never met before.
A bullet journal would be the perfect gift for the Gemini in your life. It would definitely open up their imagination, and you’ll for sure be impressed with their creativity and style. Geminis are also known for their sense of humor, so if you see some sort of funny holiday card with a pun (or as we say, a “punny” card) don’t hesitate to pick it up for them.
Get creative and make a photo book. Cancers are some of the most sentimental and emotional people out there, so a photo book will definitely make their holiday season (don’t freak out if the waterworks make an appearance too).
Cancers appreciate the small things in life, so if you put a lot of effort and care into their gift, they won’t know what to with all that appreciation. Go all out for this one, and make them the happiest this holiday season.
Give the Leo in your life a tiara. Yes, you read that correctly. It may seem crazy, but a tiara (or some sort of crowned themed coffee table object) would be the perfect accent in any Leo’s home.
Think silvers, golds, or any other metallic design that does not lack in sophistication. Leos like to be the center of attention and are always the life of the party, especially during the holiday season when social calendars are busier than ever.
So if you’re at a loss for good holiday gift ideas, we suggest you get creative and think about what can make the Leo in your life shine even brighter than they already do.
Much like Cancers, Virgos love paying attention to the smallest details in life. So when shopping for a Virgo, we suggest you find something very personal and detailed.
A monogrammed gift would be perfect for any Virgo. We have our eye on one particular customized object: a yoga mat. But of course, if your Virgo isn’t a yogi, a set of wine glasses is one of your many alternatives. But whatever trinket you choose, your Virgo will definitely appreciate the attention to detail.
Splurge for a nice candle for the Libra in your life. Libras love aesthetics and entertaining, so a candle is the perfect combination of the two.
Libras tend to be kind and super friendly, your Libra is likely to host one of the best holiday parties of the season. Besides, a candle is always a timeless and easy-to-find gift, so you won’t be too stressed finding one that both of you will enjoy.
Scorpios always have a certain air of secrecy about them. Scorpios love leaving some of their personality hidden, and it definitely takes time to fully get to know them.
While this is not at all a bad thing, it does mean Scorpios can be hard to shop for. Scorpios also tend to be creative and imaginative people, so we think the Scorpio in your life would love some sort of outlet for their creativity. A diary, polaroid camera, or a nice new set of pens is sure to knock their socks off.
People who fall under the sign of Sagittarius love to explore. They love being outside and making new memories with people they love.
We recommend giving them some sort of experience-based present, such as tickets to a show, concert, or even the opportunity for a weekend getaway. Your Sagittarius loves connecting with others, so make sure to make time for them this holiday season. Even if you’re super busy, we’re certain you won’t regret reaching out to friends you haven’t seen enough this year.
Capricorns are super sentimental while still being very determined and practical. Out of all the holiday gift ideas, we recommend getting your Capricorn a beautifully framed photo.
This gift will look good on display, and it will also play to their emotional side by reminding them of a happy memory you shared. Capricorns are very thoughtful and genuinely honest people, so they’ll be sure to appreciate a personal gift this holiday season.
People under the sign of Aquarius are super creative and innovative, but they definitely need their “me time” every so often. For this holiday season, we recommend you find a fun coloring book for the Aquarius in your life.
Urban Outfitters sells detailed coloring books that would work well, including this Bob Ross one. Aquariuses tend to be somewhat unpredictable at times, so you’ll never know how their masterpieces will turn out. But that’s half the fun!
One word: DIY. Okay, so maybe that’s not technically one word, but still. Pisces are some of the most thoughtful people ever, so they’ll definitely appreciate something crafted with personality. This shows how much you know them, rather than something more generic like a gift card. If you have trouble looking for DIY holiday gift ideas, Pinterest is always a good place to look for inspiration.
Pisces are also very friendly, so they’ll probably love whatever you make them. People with this sign also love being in new settings, so invite your Pisces friend out with you this holiday season and turn the cocktail party you were planning on skipping into the night of the year!
We hope we’ve given you at least enough inspiration to get after this year’s gift season sooner rather than later. Just remember, add your personality and stay creative, and whoever receives your gift will do so with a big smile on their face!
