Make it personal
Add a handwritten note of the traits their sign is known for, or the date of the full moon nearest their birthday. UK delivery is £3.95, free on orders over £40, and usually takes 2–5 working days.
Gifts for cusp birthdays
If a birthday falls within a day or two of a sign change, choose a gift that suits both signs, such as a birthstone, or check their sign online with their exact birth time.
Beyond the sun sign
If you know their birth time, look up their moon and rising signs too. A gift that suits their moon sign, the sign astrologers link with feelings and home, can feel especially personal.
Gifts by element
If you are unsure of the exact sign, the element is a good guide. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) tend to like bold colours and candles. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) like natural stones, plants and useful objects. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) like books, cards and things to talk about. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) like moon pieces, bath items and anything sentimental.
Gifts for a whole family
Look up everyone's sign and give each person their stone in a matching pouch: a lovely Christmas or Yule tradition that also works for a new baby's family.
