Plane tickets and hotel vouchers are the safest bet for adventurous Sagittarius, while GoPro cameras and vintage Polaroids are top picks for romantic signs like Aries and Pisces.

ARIES (21 MARCH – 19 APRIL)
Extroverted Aries doesn’t care what you give them, as long as it’s not old, practical or something that requires them to grow up.
‘Aries gets excited like a small child at Christmas, so whatever you get them, make sure it’s wrapped brightly with a big red bow,’ Kelli said.
For the Aries woman: An elite gym membership.
‘The competitive Aries woman needs to burn off excess energy and always takes pride in her physical appearance, making membership to an elite gym or training studio the perfect gift,’ said Kelli.
For the Aries man: A GoPro camera.
‘An Aries man not only needs to be on the go, he needs to have the bragging rights, too,’ she said.
‘After all, who can admire him for all the daring things he does if no one can see them?’
TAURUS (20 APRIL – 20 MAY)
The ultimate gift receiver, luxury-loving Taurus appreciates the finer things in life.
The Bull is not afraid to make a long and detailed list of what they expect to see under the tree on Christmas morning, so bigger is generally best for this materialistic earth sign.
For the Taurus woman: A designer bag.
‘While the Taurus woman in your life may not spend her own money on high-end accessories, she definitely knows what she wants – and it’s going to set you back some serious coin!’ Kelli said.
For the Taurus man: A robot vacuum cleaner.
At his core, a Taurus man only wants to work as hard as he must, and if someone else or a machine will do it, he’s fine delegating the task.
‘A robot vacuum cleaner frees up precious time for Netflix and reading,’ she said.

GEMINI (21 MAY – 20 JUNE)
Switched on Gemini needs to be in the know about everything, so the latest tech gadget is typically top of their wish list at Christmas.
‘This air sign is usually glued to their phone or computer, so anything technology related is a safe bet,’ Kelli said.
For the Gemini woman: A smart watch.
‘If she must be away from her mobile phone, a smart watch will let curious Gemini know who texted, called, emailed or posted, no matter where she is or what she’s doing,’ she said.
For the Gemini man: A tablet.
‘A small, portable computer is just what a Gemini man needs to make sure he’s never missing anything,’ said Kelli.
‘Even if he already has a phone and laptop, this is an in-between gadget he can carry easily, to keep up with the latest news on the go.’
CANCER (21 JUNE – 22 JULY)
Sentimental Cancer is the consummate gift giver who makes Christmas special for everyone else, without asking for anything in return.
‘The caring Crab most appreciates gifts that make them feel understood, valued and loved,’ Kelli said.
For the Cancer woman: An Etsy gift certificate.
‘Cancer cherishes anything heartfelt or handmade specially for them, which makes a voucher for personalisation site Etsy the ideal Christmas gift,’ said Kelli.
For the Cancer man: A smart television.
‘Homebody Cancer is tired of going to someone else’s house to binge watch on a big screen, so a new TV is just the ticket to help him become a happy hermit on his own sofa,’ Kelli said.

LEO (23 JULY – 22 AUGUST)
Limelight-loving Leo appreciates things that are loud, attention grabbing and larger than life.
The newest and trendiest trinkets are always top of their list, but underneath it all the Lion truly appreciates the time and energy that go into their gifts.
For the Leo woman: iPhone 11 Pro.
‘What better way to take all those selfies than with that triple camera? Even more important, people will ask if she has an IPhone 11 Pro, and you can’t put a price tag on that kind of attention,’ said Kelli.
For the Leo man: Portable speakers.
‘Filling the world with music on high-quality speakers is Leo’s way of bringing the party wherever he goes,’ Kelli said.
VIRGO (23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER)
Perfectionist Virgo doesn’t want you to make a fuss, but you need to help them overcome that attitude.
More comfortable giving than receiving, the Virgin often has trouble letting people know what they want, because they put everyone else first.
For the Virgo woman: An at-home gel manicure station.
‘Virgo is a detail-oriented woman who can be self-conscious of her appearance down to the last detail,’ Kelli said.
‘A home manicure set is the perfect gift for this pragmatic and practical earth sign.’
For the Virgo man: A fitness tracker.
‘Health-conscious Virgo would be in his element with a fitness tracker to help him micromanage his diet, exercise and overall well being to the enth degree,’ said Kelli.
LIBRA (23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER)
Libra will tell you that you shouldn’t have, when in reality – you absolutely should.
This harmonious air sign has a weakness for aesthetic pleasure, so whatever gift you decide on, make sure it comes with a tasteful and thoughtful card – looks matter a great deal to Libra.
For the Libra woman: A day at the spa, together.
‘Libra likes pretty things and pampering, but she likes attention more,’ said Kelli.
‘It’s one thing to give her something, but it’s another to give her your time, too.’
For the Libra man: Cashmere clothing.
‘The Libra man knows the importance of presentation, so high-end clothing is an easy win for this luxury-loving sign,’ she said.
‘A classic cashmere sweater will keep him effortlessly stylish while inviting hugs and admiration for his nice sweater – a winner all round.’

SCORPIO (23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER)
Intense Scorpio is notoriously hard to please, but your safest bet is to give them something that makes them feel mysterious and sexy, in keeping with their passionate personality.
For the Scorpio woman: Perfume.
‘A scent that leaves a lasting impression without the wearer having to say a single word is perfect for seductive Scorpio,’ Kelli said.
For the Scorpio man: Cologne.
‘Cologne and aftershave does for men what perfume does for women. Something strong and sexy, and not too common is best, since the Scorpio man likes to be unique and aloof,’ she said.
SAGITTARIUS (22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER)
Anything that expands the mind of this explorer, philosopher and adventurer will be greatly appreciated.
Sagittarius is open-minded and willing to try nearly anything once, so get creative and don’t be afraid of thinking a little outside the box.
For the Sagittarius woman: Plane tickets.
‘The Sagittarius woman prefers experiences to things, specifically overseas trips,’ Kelli said.
‘She lives to discover all that life has to offer, and while she’s not afraid to go alone, she’d love the company of a like-minded friend – so consider taking yourself along with her!’
For the Sagittarius man: Hotel vouchers or event tickets.
‘Just like the woman, the Sagittarius man doesn’t respond well to material gifts,’ she said.
‘Sporting events, plane tickets, rodeo tickets, zip lining – it doesn’t really matter, so long as it’s exciting and new.’

CAPRICORN (22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY)
Capricorn has a hard time asking for things, but they’re one of the easiest signs to shop for because of their practical, reliable and straightforward nature.
For the Capricorn woman: Cold hard cash.
‘The Capricorn woman is a realist, not a romantic,’ Kelli said.
‘Jewels are nice, but investments are better. In the end, you can both be saved a lot of trouble by just giving her money so she can go out and get what she wants.’
For the Capricorn man: A classic watch.
‘Nothing says success in an subtle way like wearing a nice watch,’ she said.
‘With all his work and commitments, the Capricorn man can use a watch to schedule a few minutes to thank you for this thoughtful gift.’
AQUARIUS (20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY)
The top tech gifts are either on every Aquarius’ list, or not at all, because they’re already too mainstream for this future-looking sign.
But above all, Aquarius appreciates any effort to give them something that nobody else already has.
For the Aquarius woman: A smart speaker or home assistant.
‘The Aquarius woman doesn’t discriminate between virtual or real assistants, or between AI and humans,’ Kelli said.
‘A smart speaker, like the Amazon Alexa, can give her any information she wants, at the touch of a button.’
For the Aquarius man: Virtual reality headset.
‘Idealistic Aquarius wants to take the world and reshape it into a vision of their own making,’ she said.
‘While everyone else knows this is impossible, he will get some satisfaction by shaping a virtual world of his own making.’

PISCES (19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH)
Pisces asks for nothing but love, but you’re always welcome to give love in gift form.
The Fish turns into a wide-eyed child at Christmas, getting completely wrapped up in festive spirit.
For the Pisces woman: A vintage camera.
‘Pisces has an eye for finding beauty, and a phone doesn’t quite measure up to what a real camera can do,’ Kelli said.
‘Try something quirky like a vintage Polaroid film camera.’
For the Pisces man: Noise-cancelling headphones.
‘Tender, sensitive Pisces has two main loves: hiding from the world, and music,’ she said.
‘Give him the best of both with noise-cancelling headphones, letting him wrap himself up in the world of his own imagination wherever he goes.’
