A game definitely speaks to an Aries’ nature, but don’t forget that things can get a little too competitive, a little too quickly.

These strong-headed friends value touch and taste above the other senses, but they’re also real homebodies who love to feel snug and comfy. That, coupled with the cold weather outside, makes a comfy pair of slippers an ideal gift for the Taurus in your life.

Don’t forget that a Taurus hates feeling insecure, so while a gag gift could be fun, consider how they’ll take the joke first and whether they’ll over-analyze it.

These twins love being social and are usually up for a good time with all of their friends, but they’ve also been known to be on the move and to sometimes feel a touch restless. If you want to gift them something practical, a cute, portable charger will help keep them connected while on the go.

Of all the astrological signs, it’s the Lion that loves taking in the sights and sounds of theatre the most. They also appreciate fun with friends and bright colours, so a way to encapsulate all of that is with a ticket stub diary where they can track all of their biggest, brightest memories.

Leos don’t respond well to cheap tchotchkes and knickknacks, unless they come with a strong sentimental attachment to a memory you’ve shared together.  

If you have a Virgo in your life, then you probably already know they tend to be hard workers who are loyal and kind, but that they often forget to take care of themselves. Remind them about self-care with a relaxing candle, a bath basket or a diffuser with essential oils.

While it’s a nice thought to grab a spa or massage gift certificate for a Virgo, they probably won’t actually end up actually using it unless you book it for them.

The Libras in your life probably love the calming and healing effects of the great outdoors, and are constantly looking for serene ways to centre themselves. The solution? A portable, travel yoga mat that folds up to the size of a yoga block but is still perfectly stylish.

These truth-seekers are passionate about being right, finding the facts, and hanging with life-long besties. So it seems like Hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) was made specifically for them. The game is made to evoke cozy conversations with good friends, which all Scorpios want more of in their lives.

Hygge Game, Amazon, $25.

As much as Scorpios value their friendships, they value their privacy more. Avoid group gifts that could make them feel exposed or as though someone was forced into participating.

Embrace the optimistic, travel-loving Sagittarius in your life by gifting them with a cute passport wallet.

Anything generic, like a gift card to a chain restaurant or a confined-feeling, all-inclusive vacation. These guys want the freedom to explore, take risks, and try something new.

Speak to your Aquarius friend’s humanitarian and cause-fighting side with a thoughtful but practical gift that they’ll love.

As a bonus, they’ll also help an Aquarius do something else they love: strike up a conversation.

Reusable Cotton Bags, Amazon, $45.

Trinkets, plastic, or mass-marketed items are definitely not going to appeal to an Aquarius.
