their interests. They love technology; iphones, tablets or the latest laptop - they live on the cutting edge. Don’t fret if they seem to have everything, because this sign likes to have at least 2 of each. If they write, and many Gemini’s do, consider a special personalized journal or modern fountain pen, depending on their age. Or tickets to travel somewhere, if only for a weekend.

Cancer loves gifts that have personal meaning. Handmade items will often charm them, especially if there’s some reference to home, family or history. Their colours are silver or opal, so a delicate piece of jewelry would also be lovely. They are often budding photographers, or at least deeply value the photos they’ve accumulated, so consider monogrammed picture frames. Specialty food items would also delight them such as imported cigars, coffee beans or ice wine. Or consider a fancy cappuccino maker or set of matching teapot and cups; they love the feeling of playing house and entertaining family. Every Cancer is a secret collector of something; find out what that is and add to it. Or buy them romantically personalized storage boxes, as many of them are also packrats.

Leo’s are the most flamboyant of the zodiac. Whatever you give them should be flashy or “big” in some way. Depending on your Leo, it might a costume boa, rhinestone earrings or gold metallic clothing. They probably love to play dress-up and will stand out in any crowd as a fashion trendsetter. In fact, a certificate for a glamour shoot might be an exciting idea. The Lioness is particularly proud of her hair, so think of accessories or ornaments (even tiaras!) that would enhance it. Focus on sequins, jewels and anything bestowing an image of magnificence. And focus on colours of the Sun - red, orange, gold and yellow. Lastly, every Leo has a passion for theatre and music, so consider tickets to a Broadway show or any high-profile event; even a visit to the Casino would be fun.

Virgo loves practical gifts so avoid those that will just sit and collect dust. This may be cleaning tools to keep their home functioning efficiently, like high-tech vacuum cleaners or antimicrobial products. Most Virgo’s are also very tuned into organic and non-GMO food, so anything pure will capture their interest. Focus on colours like white and burlap beige. They likely practice beauty and good grooming but have a preference for soaps, lotions or shampoos made by environmentally friendly companies. Or how about a bread-making machine? This guarantees they know what they’re eating. As well, Virgo’s are usually readers; and the kind of books they like focus on improving systems and streamlining. But be sure to keep the receipt, as Virgo’s are often quite particular and will want to ensure they can use the gift or exchange it.
