Finding the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list may seem impossible. However, as a longtime astrology enthusiast, I’ve found that shopping with someone’s zodiac sign in mind can be an easy way to discover something that reflects their unique personality. Astrology is as fascinating as it is fun, and one way to learn more about yourself and others, which makes gifting according to the zodiac that much more enjoyable.
If you’re an astrology newbie, don’t worry — I compiled gift ideas I think will more than satisfy your favorite earth, water, air and fire signs this holiday season.

The best zodiac gift ideas in 2024
Below, you’ll find the best gift ideas for anyone across the zodiac, organized by the elements: water, air, fire and earth. I compiled this list of zodiac gift ideas using products from past coverage, including previous award winners and some NBC Select staff favorites. I also included top-rated gifts from across the web that the astro enthusiast in your life will love.
For astrology lovers
You Were Born For This by Chani Nicholas
This book is written by one of my favorite astrologers, Chani Nicholas, who breaks down the key pillars of your astrological birth chart (sun, moon and rising signs) along with lesser known but equally important features, like aspects and challenges, and how you can use your newfound knowledge to enrich your life. It’s a popular bestseller with a 4.7-star average rating from 2,793 reviews on Amazon, and its personalized learning style makes it a great gift for astrology beginners and long-time enthusiasts alike.
Personalized Birthdate Candle
This personalized candle from Birthdate goes beyond the norm of sign-inspired scents. The brand has a uniquely scented candle for each day of the year, all of which were created using astrology, numerology and tarot. Each label includes a ruling number, ruling planet, personality description and an emblematic tarot card. You can also go the extra mile by adding your giftee’s name to the label. Each candle is made from an all-natural soy and coconut wax blend with a burn time of up to 80 hours, according to the brand.
Anthropologie Zodiac Gold Necklace
One thing about astrology lovers: we love repping — or literally wearing — our zodiac signs. This necklace from Anthropologie, made from a 14 karat gold-plated brass, displays the astrological sign of your choice in script. If gold isn’t your giftee’s preference, no worries — the necklace also comes in a silver, rhodium-plated brass version.
The Astrology Deck
Made by professional astrologer Lisa Stardust, this card deck is an ideal gift for visual learners. Across the 70 cards your giftee will find information on zodiac signs, planets, retrogrades, relationships and more, according to the brand. Designed to be both easy and fun to use, the deck is highly rated with a 4.5-star average from 375 reviews on Amazon. The deck also includes an instruction booklet and an interactive birth chart, making it easy to follow along with and practice all of your new astro knowledge from the cards.
Inside Then Out Zodiac Journal
I love when my notebooks and journals have a bit of personalization to them, and this zodiac journal from Inside then Out offers a tailor-made version for each sign. Made from a black, textured vegan leather, the journal has the name and defining traits of each sign on the cover in a minimal gold script, along with 90 pages of lined paper on the inside for all of your giftee’s thoughts, feelings and reflections. If you’re worried they may struggle to start journaling, don’t be — along with an intro section for each zodiac sign, the journal also includes a card with 15 unique prompts that are based on the traits and challenges of their sun sign.
For the signs
Earth Signs
Earth signs are known for being grounded, practical and resourceful. Besides their talents for organization and never-ending determination, Tauruses, Virgos and Capricorns typically love indulging in daily rituals, delicious food and other creature comforts. Below are gifts that will help them make the most of their next cozy day indoors.
Slip x Dr. Dennis Gross ZZZ’s Bundle
Your earth sign can take their beauty sleep to the next level with this joint bundle from Dr. Dennis Gross and NBC Select Wellness Award-winning brand Slip. It includes a limited-edition silk pillowcase, which the brand says helps to improve skin texture and hydration while you sleep. From Dr. Dennis Gross — whose LED mask I recently reviewed — the bundle contains retinol products designed to boost dull skin, including one full-size Perfectly Dosed Extra Strength Retinol Peel, a travel size Advanced Retinol + Ferulic triple correction retinol eye serum, and a travel size Advanced Retinol + Ferulic intense wrinkle cream.
The Citizenry Mara Organic Waffle Robe
This 100% organic cotton robe is an NBC Select Bed & Bath Awards winner and a longtime staff favorite. It’s lightweight and soft to the touch, which makes it perfect for drying off after a long, hot shower or for lounging around the house (both of which are top-tier earth sign activities). Since it’s machine-washable, NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez loves how easy the robe is to take care of, and NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez says the robe is the perfect length and fit. It’s available in three sizes: small, medium and large.
Piecework La Dolce Vita Puzzle
When it comes to the best puzzles for adults, Pieceworks is our number one choice. Our staff love the brand for its stunning imagery and high-quality pieces — each puzzle has original artwork and random, ribbon-cut pieces for an increased challenge, according to the brand. The puzzles are also accompanied with a custom playlist to help set the mood when sitting down for a puzzling session. This option has 1,000 pieces and artwork of a table spread showing “la dolce vita”, which is Italian for “the sweet life” — the perfect puzzle for indulgent earth signs.
Marcato Atlasmotor Pasta Maker
Your earth sign giftee will love the gourmet flair this pasta maker gives their next homemade meal. It’s the automatic version of our favorite manual option from Mercato, and is great for making different pasta varieties. It has an adjustable knob with ten positions for different levels of pasta thickness and a Pastadrive motor, which secures and rolls out the pasta so you can have both hands free for feeding in and manipulating the pasta during use, according to the brand. It’s also compatible with other Marcato pasta accessories that help make specialized types and shapes of pasta.
Damson Madder Scarf
This scarf from Anthropologie will be the perfect pop of color and coziness in your earth sign’s winter wardrobe. It’s made from recycled polyester and has a soft, fluffy knit texture to keep them warm. Whether you choose the chocolate and baby blue or the bright red and pink, either one is sure to make a great statement piece.
Water Signs
As a proud water sign myself I may be a bit biased in saying this, but we’re some of the most imaginative people of the zodiac. Big dreamers with a lot of big feelings, water signs are known for constantly putting their energy into pursuing creative interests and chasing their future aspirations. That’s why I rounded up gifts to help water signs create and experience the big life they want, along with some relaxing essentials for calming down after a long day of dreaming.
Bearaby Napper Weighted Blanket
I’m a self-proclaimed “sleepy girl” and truly, there’s not much that I love more than a long afternoon nap. This weighted blanket from Bearaby is the ideal gift for the water sign in your life to achieve their calmest sleep yet. It’s made from 100% cotton for a breathable feel, but has a knit design and texture that’ll still keep your giftee cozy while they snooze. It’s available in four different weights (10 pounds, 15 pounds, 20 pounds and 25 pounds) and for the best experience, the brand recommends choosing a weight that’s about 10% of your giftee’s body weight.
Papier Rise & Shine Personalized Productivity Planner
Water signs are notorious dreamers and with all of that imagination it can sometimes be difficult to focus those ideas into a tangible plan. That’s where this productivity planner from Papier comes in — it has tools like habit trackers, monthly overviews and weekly reflections to help your giftee plan and achieve their goals. Led by Papier’s four productivity pillars, the planner also has articles and prompts to help inspire your giftee and keep them consistent in using it. You can also customize the front of the planner with your giftee’s name and one of four vibrant gradient cover designs.
Airbnb Gift Card
When it comes to wanderlust, water signs have a never-ending supply. With an Airbnb gift card, you can treat your favorite water sign to an incredible stay on their next getaway. You can choose the design and delivery date of the card, and add a personalized message. The best part? Your water sign can use this versatile gift for any getaway of their choice — whether it’s a tropical vacation or a European adventure, the possibilities are endless.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-WW Bluetooth Turntable
I got this record player as a gift over five years ago and it’s still a staple in my apartment’s decor. The player’s sleek look makes it a great addition to any room, and it has Bluetooth-compatibility that allows it to easily pair with speakers and other audio systems. Your water sign giftee will love using this gift to set the mood around their home while listening to their favorite music.
Necessaire The Body Essentials Gift Set
As a body care obsessive, my shower routine is incredibly important to me. This year, you can gift your water sign with a routine of their own from Necessaire, one of our favorite body care brands. This gift set includes three full-size products from the brand, including The Body Wash, The Body Serum, and The Body Lotion — everything your giftee will need for a soothing experience both during and after their shower. The set is also available in five fragrance options, including an unscented version.
Air Signs
Geminis, Libras and Aquarians are lifelong learners, with a natural talent for communication and connecting with others. Air signs are also known for being very curious, which is why they’re always looking to have fresh experiences and hobbies. Check out gifts below that’ll help your favorite air sign maximize their talents for trying new things.
Masterclass Subscription
Masterclass is a subscription-based service that offers access to over 2,500 classes from over 200 expert instructors. Perfect for your ever-curious air sign giftee, they can learn everything from filmmaking taught by Martin Scorcese to cooking taught by Gordon Ramsay. The subscription is available in three versions, all of which are billed annually; Standard for $120, Plus for $180, and Premium for $240.
Printworks Cloud Chess Set
Not only is chess a great way to keep your mind sharp, it’s also a lot of fun to learn and practice, especially with friends or family. With this chess set, your giftee can develop a new hobby or improve upon the skills they already have. This chess set includes blue and white wood pieces and a wooden, acrylic-topped chessboard with a beautiful blue sky design — perfect air sign representation.
Baggu Set of 3 Reusable Totes
Who says errands need to be boring? This set of totes from Baggu, an NBC Select staff favorite brand, will brighten up any running around on their to-do lists. The totes are made from a durable nylon material that’s ideal for carrying books, groceries and more, and each tote comes with a gorgeous artwork design that’s sure to grab attention in the checkout line. If your giftee isn’t a fan of bright patterns, Baggu offers the set in neutral colorways as well.
Therabody Wave Duo
When your air sign giftee wants to relax, this muscle relief device from Therabody may be just what they need. The Therabody Wave Duo is an ergonomic foam roller designed to contour to your neck, spine, and back, according to the brand. It has five vibration settings that help to relieve soreness and muscular tension, all of which can be adjusted using the Therabody app. The Wave Duo is also compact and comes with a protective carrying pouch for easy, on-the-go portability.
Annual Clear Membership
Patience is certainly a virtue, and although air signs aren’t always impatient, they do like to get where they’re going in a timely manner. That’s why this Clear membership will make a great gift for any jet-setting air signs in your life. Using biometrics rather than traditional ID, Clear allows you to pass through airport security faster using designated, expedited lanes. Memberships range from $99 for six months to $199 for a one year membership and can be used at 58 airports nationwide, according to the brand.
Fire Signs
Adventure, excitement and entertainment are some of the things that fire signs love (and embody) most. Whether it’s a vacation getaway or a dinner with friends, fire signs love socializing and leading the pack with their uplifting energy. Natural explorers, they’re at their best when they can let loose and experience things freely —these gift ideas can help your fire sign giftee keep their energetic spark alive.
Photodom i217 35mm Film Camera
With all the awesome memories your fire sign loves to make during their adventures, it only makes sense they have something to capture them on. This reusable film camera from Photodom is designed with beginners in mind, making it a great gift regardless of your giftee’s level of photography expertise. It has straightforward controls, including a motor that automatically advances and rewinds your film, and a built-in flash for shooting in low-light conditions. Film cameras are also a fun way to add a special touch of nostalgia to your photos, which makes it a great accessory for vacations, special outings and more.
Saturn Glassware Set
This chic glassware set will give your fire sign giftee the perfect excuse to host the next round of dinner and drinks (not that they need one). Each set includes four glassware designs created from dyed soda glass, with colors inspired by the elements of space, with the glass’ stems designed to resemble the rings of Saturn, according to the brand. They’re available in martini, wine and champagne-style glasses, and are also dishwasher safe on a gentle cycle (making it easier to clean up once the party’s over).
Adidas Sambas
A solid pair of everyday sneakers are a staple in any wardrobe, which is why these Sambas are an ideal gift for your on-the-go fire sign giftee. They have a low-rise design and an upper made from durable buffed leather, along with a padded collar for extra comfort and sturdy rubber soles on the bottom. I once borrowed a pair from a friend, and after trying them on I immediately understood why she wore them everyday — they’re the perfect mix of style and comfort.
Calpak Ambeur 2-Piece Luggage Set
We love Calpak at NBC Select (their Luka Duffel won one of our Travel Awards), and this luggage set is the perfect companion for their next adventure. It includes a carry-on and a larger suitcase, both with TSA-approved locks and an expandable design that adds an extra two inches of space if needed, according to the brand. The wheels also have a 360-degree spin for easy movement through the airport, and have a hardside exterior that protects from any wear and tear along the way.
Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ Perfume Sampler Set
You can also help your favorite fire sign discover their signature scent. These fragrances from Maison Margiela are inspired by familiar places and are meant to evoke memories and nostalgia while wearing them. It includes ten mini eau de toilette sprays in some of the brand’s best selling fragrance blends for every occasion, including Lazy Sunday Morning, By The Fireplace and On A Date.
