Looking for the best products to gift — and to get — this holiday season? Check out Underscored’s Holiday Guide here.

People use astrology for all sorts of things, from planning the day ahead of them to deciding if a potential romantic interest will be a match, and even to inform their choice of a wedding date — so why not use astrology to pick out the perfect holiday gift for your loved ones?

The AstroTwins, Tali and Ophira, are professional astrologers who have partnered with Homesick Candles to create The Astrology Collection. We enlisted them to explain the unique elements of each zodiac sign that will help you land on the perfect present for the brooding Scorpio or lively Leo on your holiday shopping list, and then used their input to pick out some truly great gift ideas for each zodiac sign.

Aries

“Trendsetting Aries like to be the first (and only) kids on the block to flaunt a new toy,” the AstroTwins say, so when buying gifts for these rams, “treat them to something tailor-made, especially in the color red. Active and strategic, they enjoy competitive games that they can master and win.”

Taurus

When shopping for the Taurus in your life, the AstroTwins say, “Practical, high-quality gifts appeal to the zodiac’s bull.” Our bullish friends are ruled by beautifying Venus, making them “appreciators of original art and high-end home goods. They also enjoy making things by hand, so buy them the kits or supplies to create their masterpieces.”

Cancer

“Sentimental Cancers love gifts with a personal touch,” according to the AstroTwins. “As the sign that rules history, they prefer a present with classic value (even an antique) above the latest, newfangled toy. Domestic creatures, they will be delighted by domestic treasures that they can entertain guests with.”

Leo

Dear readers, your zodiac gifting guide is a Leo. In consulting with friends from the other signs to ask what they might like to get as a Capricorn or as a Taurus and so on, I provided this example: “For example, as a Leo I would love to get gifts of sunglasses, something in a jungle print for my hair, really expensive nail varnish for my claws…” The AstroTwins put it this way: “Leos love glamorous gifts that they can show off to the public: Sparkly baubles, costume-y clothes, shiny cars or anything they can custom-decorate.”

Virgo

The AstroTwins tell us that “earthy, conscious Virgos like handmade gifts that have the lowest possible impact on the environment. They’re the reigning kings and queens of DIY, so a handy-dandy machine for one of their hobbies will be endlessly entertaining. With their active minds, they love to collect media from books to movies to random trivia.”

Libra

“Lavish Libras,” the AstroTwins say, “love to surround themselves with beauty and luxury. Makeup kits, perfumes, cookware, objets d’art — they want it all with a designer twist. Social butterflies by nature, no gift is complete unless it can be shared with friends or romantic partners.”

Scorpio

“Intuitive, thoughtful and deep,” the AstroTwins explain that Scorpios appreciate presents that are hand-selected and one-of-a-kind. “They enjoy their alone time so books, art supplies and software always go over well with them. With their sharp, curious minds, they love making things by hand, or picking them apart and figuring out how they work.”

“As the zodiac’s travelers,” the AstroTwins say, “Sagittarians prefer no-muss, no-fuss gifts that they can take on the road with them. They love to make a splash with bright colors and edgy flair, so troll the indie boutiques instead of the malls when shopping for them.”

Capricorn

The AstroTwins say that the “classic, elegant Capricorns appreciate items of lasting value made by respected brand names. Status-conscious, their gifts should have an air of exclusivity to them, like a membership to a social club or a limited-edition collector’s item. Athletic and entrepreneurial, sports equipment and business books also make great presents.”

With their vivid imaginations, they love music, poetry, photography and dance, preferably with an indie twist.”
