What do the stars have to say about how you express your love towards others? Apparently, quite a lot! When we refer to astrology, the first thing that comes to mind is a person’s Sun sign, which describes their overall personality traits. And believe it or not, you can use this form of star sleuthing to get your romantic partner the perfect gift.
ARIES
(21st March – 19th April)
You’re the headstrong ram of the zodiac, possessing an energy like no other. In love, you can be quite flirtatious, and others will have a hard time resisting your charms. It’s all about the thrill of the chase with you! But once you meet the love of your life, you’re ready to settle down and plant roots with them. If you manage to take control of your impulsive nature, your love will blossom.
Want to surprise your Aries partner with something they’d really appreciate? Plan a surprise adventure such as a romantic picnic – they will love your intrigue and spontaneity.
TAURUS
(20th April – 20th May)
The bull of the zodiac is all about creating a sense of stability and security in their lives. While you may be a bit stubborn at times, you’re incredibly loyal to your loved ones and will do anything to keep them safe. Be careful not to get too stuck in your daily routines; switch things up occasionally and your love life could take an exciting turn!
Make your Taurus partner happy by giving them something practical – maybe a gift for the home, a voucher, or even a pet!
GEMINI
(21st May – 21st June)
These twins are all over the place in the best possible way! If you’re a Gemini, you’ve got a million thoughts buzzing through your head, as well as the gift of the gab to put your ideas into words. You can be a bit flaky in your approach to love as there’s a tendency to get bored quickly, hopping onto the next exciting project. If you can learn to ground yourself (and if your partner can keep up with you), they’ll find that you’re a bubbly, kind, and sociable person.
Geminis love a good joke, so get your partner something that’ll amuse them, even if it’ll only be for a few seconds!
CANCER
(22nd June – 22nd July)
This crab has a tough exterior but is immensely soft on the inside. As a Cancer, you’re compassionate and sensitive, but also retreat into your shell when you’re hurt. A delicate touch and an understanding persona will help you become the best version of yourself!
Get your Cancer homebody a cosy item; a scented candle or a blanket will definitely be appreciated.
LEO
(23rd July – 22nd August)
The powerful lion of the zodiac can do anything it sets its mind to. You need affection from your romantic partner above all else. You’ll give them everything, but also expect the same amount in return, which is only fair! There are times your explosive outbursts can get the better of you, but it’s only because you’re a passionate person who requires emotional validation.
Leos are no stranger to enjoying the finer things in life, so a luxury gift will go down well.
VIRGO
(23rd August – 22nd September)
Virgo is the organiser of the zodiac. If you’re a Virgo, you’re a super practical individual who likes things to always be ‘just right’. Sometimes, you can get stuck inside your own melancholy thoughts, but the idea of perfecting different aspects of your life gives you purpose. You also enjoy using these talents to help others.
Get your Virgo partner something they can actually use, like some fancy stationery or even top-of-the-range home appliances.
LIBRA
(23rd September – 23rd October)
The scales of the zodiac are preoccupied with balance and harmony. As a Libra, you’re a great mediator, capable of resolving conflict in seconds, so your relationship is one that’s very level-headed – you won’t be rushing into anything without thinking about it first. While you’re a wonderful listener, it’s important to be authentic with your partner and be honest about your feelings.
Libras appreciate beauty, so delight their eyes with some unique art.
SCORPIO
(24th October – 21st November)
The solitary scorpion of the zodiac knows what you’re thinking without you having to say anything. Your Scorpio energy gives you a unique empathy that can help you understand your partner on a deeply emotional level. You’re not quick to open up, but once you do, you’re loyal and protective. When you feel like reacting out of spite, take a step back to maintain a healthy relationship!
Scorpios are attracted to the mysterious things in life, so get them something unusual.
SAGITTARIUS
(22nd November – 21st December)
If you’re the mythological archer of the zodiac, then you love to travel. You’re incredibly principled and it’s very difficult for anyone to pin you down. Your partner will have to adapt to your nervous energy that’s always pushing you to be on the move. An exciting and adventurous life awaits!
A Sagittarius loves to learn about different cultures, so a book on pretty much any subject would be ideal.
CAPRICORN
(22nd December – 19th January)
If you’re a Capricorn, it wouldn’t be a surprise if you’re already the CEO of a booming business. Your ambitions are larger than life, and you’re always looking to succeed at the next big thing. Your partner won’t be left in the dust, however; they can be the rock to your lofty foundations.
Get your Capricorn partner something that looks professional and smart – cool but serious!
AQUARIUS
(20th January – 18th February)
The water bearer of the zodiac feels it’s their solemn duty to help everyone on a grand scale. When you’re not multitasking as the manager of a large company, you can be found volunteering at a number of local charities. Luckily, your partner will be there to prevent you from getting ahead of yourself and suffering from burnout.
If you want to make an Aquarius happy on Valentine’s Day, then give to charity – We Are Not A Shop is entirely non-profit. Every single cent spent on purchasing our products will go straight to charitable causes.
PISCES
(19th February – 20th March)
The dreamy fish of the zodiac is the most difficult to define out of all the signs. As a Pisces, you’re generous to a fault, so you’ll need to set some strict boundaries. You’re also an incredibly creative person, tapping into your own form of spirituality. Your partner may not always understand you, but you’ll always have their back.
Allow a Pisces to release their artistic potential by gifting them with something creative they can lose themselves in.
