Wellness-Themed Valentine's Day Gifts Based On Their Sign
Not sure what gift to give for Valentine’s Day this year? If you’re looking to branch out beyond the traditional heart-shaped box of chocolates, we’ve compiled a list of wellness-themed gifts tailored to your loved one’s zodiac sign. Bonus: they’re affordable and easy to pull together in a short amount of time. Check out these gifts to show them you care.
Capricorn
Considering their usual composed nature, it can be hard to get Capricorns to tap into their feelings. Sure, hitting the ground running helps them crush their to-do list, but oftentimes self-care doesn’t make that list. Give them the gift of rest and restoration with an at-home spa night. You can even do it with ingredients from your kitchen, like coconut oil for a hair mask and cucumber slices on your eyes (even if it’s just for the aesthetic).
AQUARIUS
Everyone who is lucky enough to love an Aquarius knows they are one of a kind. Thankfully, their ever-flowing creativity and desire to innovate means they have a wide range of interests. Why not give them a place to draft their next revolutionary idea? Fill a section of a beautiful notebook with journal prompts for them to reflect and respond to. You can find some prompt inspiration here.
PISCES
If your partner is a Pisces, you’ve likely been on the receiving end of their supportive pep talks, been inspired by their optimism, and seen them shed a tear or two over a heartwarming commercial. Instead of a gift wrapped in a bow, give them the gift of quality time by practicing a restorative evening stretch. Light a few candles, turn on some music, and let the Pisces in your life pick a class (our Evening Ritual playlist is a great place to start).
ARIES
We’re willing to bet you were drawn to the Aries in your life because their zealous and valiant nature is magnetizing. From work meetings to friend group chats, Aries naturally finds themselves taking the lead and pushing for progress. To show them you care — not only for them, but also about their interests — find a way to volunteer together for an organization they support. That might mean making a donation in their honor or dedicating your time to take dogs from your local humane society on a walk.
TAURUS
Some may say that Earth sign Taurus has their mind fixated on the material, but don’t misconstrue this into thinking you have to spend top dollar to impress them. Instead, focus on conceptualizing their interest in the material into gifts that help them indulge in their senses. These can be as big or small as your budget and creativity allow. Some ideas to get you started include a customized essential oils blend to engage their sense of smell, a homemade body scrub to polish their skin and engage touch, or a new piece of art or framed photography for sight.
GEMINI
With a reputation to liven up any room they walk into, Geminis are packed with presence and personality. Tap into their natural inclination toward fun and creativity by surprising them with an at-home photoshoot. Not only will they love the chance to shine, but creating tangible memories they can hang around the house or post on the ‘gram will show the Gemini in your life that your love and support is here to stay. If you don’t have a high-end camera, try propping your phone up near the window with the best lighting, set the self timer, and start capturing the magic connection you share with your Gemini loved one.
CANCER
Represented by the hard-shelled crab, Cancers may put on a tough face, but internally their screws are ever-turning while they analyze the thoughts and feelings they experience in addition to the thoughts and feelings of those around them. With so much intuition, your beloved Cancer may know what you’re thinking of getting them even before you’ve hit the checkout button on your cart. How do you surprise someone who seems to already be two steps ahead? Bring them back to their roots with a blast of nostalgia! Whether it’s a physical scrapbook, a digital slideshow, or a playlist of all the songs that remind you of them, show them your emotions run just as deeply as theirs and you’ll be sure to see the Cancer in your life smile.
LEO
With the sun as their ruling planet, is it any surprise Leos find themselves in the spotlight? From first dates to grocery store trips, your fiery Leo is sure to impress. What gift can you give to the person who seems to have it all together? Something just as unique as they are! Stop by your local craft store and grab supplies to create your own customized T-shirts or hoodies. Rhinestones, patches, or a tie-dye kit can help you take a plain piece of clothing and turn it into something one of a kind, just like your lovely Leo.
VIRGO
Those who know and love a Virgo likely know that they’re constantly working through a list of projects and to-dos. You may not know this, but each zodiac sign rules a different area of the body. For Virgos, that body part is the digestive system. While you may not immediately associate the digestive system with romance, there is one way to tap into this: make the Virgo in your life a beautiful and nutritious meal. Here are four healthy and delicious recipes to help get your creative juices flowing.
LIBRA
With Venus (the planet of love) as their ruler, you may be feeling the pressure when it comes to surprising the Libra in your life. Like their air sign sisters Gemini and Aquarius, Libras are intelligent, sociable, and they have an eye for aesthetics. To start, make note of the color themes throughout your Libra’s space. You’ll want to keep them in mind when you pick out a handful of candle sticks for a DIY bendy candle night. Not only are these candles majorly on trend, but they also are completely customizable to your Libra’s liking.
Scorpio
If you’re lucky enough to love a Scorpio, you know this mutable water sign can be a little...intense. Wherever your Scorpio’s interests lie, their passion and dedication to supporting their goals know no bounds. But the constant go-go-go can often leave Scorpios feeling deflated. Surprise them with the gift of time to rest. Pull down the blinds, stack up the pillows, and turn off the lights for a restorative nap. You can even throw in a calming essential oil spray or silk eye mask for an extra dose of relaxation. If your dear Scorpio protests, show them the health benefits of napping that they’ll receive from this time offline. Afterwards, you’ll both be feeling refreshed and ready to tackle what’s ahead.
Sagittarius
One of the great things about giving a gift to a Sagittarius is that their resounding optimism and spontaneity means they’ll likely love whatever you give them because they know it reminded you of them. In past years, all it took to put a smile on their face was a plane, train, or automobile ticket to a dreamy destination. However, you’ll have to get a little more creative this year. Give them the world without having to leave your home by pulling up the Drive and Listen website, setting it to a city of your choice, and pairing your meal to match. Cruising around Paris? Grab some meat slices, cheese, and a baguette. Exploring Tokyo? Try rolling your own sushi! With dozens of cities to choose from, the list of potential pairings goes on and on.
