Aries (March 21st - April 19)
Buy gifts that appeal to
the adventurously-playful side of an Aries, such as skydiving lessons,
auto-racing lessons or tickets to a sporting event. The Arian likes an experience rather
than something tangible. Most Arians love new hobbies and learning new
tasks. Hair accessories, earrings, sunglasses and stylish organizers are also popular if your Mom is an Aries. Gifts which revolve around physical and competitive
pursuits, vehicles, gadgets, and hands-on activities will bring a big smile
to your Aries face. If you'd like to do something special for her, take
her to the golf range or plan a vigorous hike.
Red is their governing
colour as it's the colour of life and energy excitement, risk and danger. Bright red flowers are
therefore a great gift for the fiery Aries Mom.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the
plant of decorative arts, therefore they are great lovers of all things
beautiful. Season tickets to the theatre or opera, a sculpture or a
piece of fine art should be on your list. A food hamper with delicious and comforting food such as chocolates, cakes and cookies is
definitely going to appeal your Taurean Mom. Sumptuous
clothing will always get a smile. A soft dressing gown or plush slippers will
make them feel pampered and special. A soft luxury cashmere sweater is a good
choice as is anything made of touchable luxury fabrics.
Gift wrapping is
very important. The packaging should be as grand and as luxury as the gift
itself. Especially for her, the tissue paper, ribbon and pattern of gift paper
is a very important part of the gift.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Hmm… when it comes to finding
the perfect gift for a Gemini it could prove to be a bit tricky to say the
least. Gemini is always on the go so travel accessories would be
popular. Gemini moms are information mongers -- they want to know the who, what and why of everything. A fancy new cell phone will keep her connected to her nearest and dearest.
A leather-bound journal may also appeal to this wordy mom, as would a hot new
best-seller. Looking for an activity? Try a trip downtown to window shop or a visit to a museum. Gemini's also love photos (especially of themselves) and they are
in their element either behind the camera or in front of it. Give them a
sterling silver photo frame or a fun photo frame and let them show
off either their artwork or themselves! A bespoke gift hamper is
absolutely ideal. Or maybe a gift such as an interesting book or Vouchers to splurge.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Cancerian is the most
sentimental and emotional sign of the zodiac therefore would really appreciate
a hand-made and personal gift that shows that you really have gone out of your
way to pick something just for them. For sentimental Cancer the gift wrap
may be more important than the gift itself and he or she may hold on to the
card forever. Cancerians love nostalgic gifts, they adore antique
shops – everything that’s linked to family or the past. Look out
for collectibles, old family photos, heirlooms and things that were available
during their childhood but are hard to find these days. Cancerian are warm and home-loving. Give them something that can be used to
decorate their home or make it feel warm and welcoming. Things like
colourful silk cushions, a warm quilt, a luxury Persian rug, table runners,
table mats, a Chinese jar and so on. You can also give your Cancerian Mom something that will allow them to collect some wonderful memories like a
digital camera or a video camera. They will also be excited with gifts like a travel memory book, a scrap book or a
photo album. Breakfast in bed is another great way to pay tribute to this born nurturer.
Leo ( July 23 - August 22)
Gift giving for a Leo needs
to be truly an occasion. When you give any gift to a Leo it needs to be
gift-wrapped beautifully and it needs to be presented dramatically!The female Leo is not one to wear
rhinestones or plastic pearls, but glittering golds and crimsons fit for
royalty. Gift her a high quality make-up, perfumes, and other
cosmetics, and she will glow with joy at the chance to be pampered. Many Leos have
artistic and culinary talents, so gifts that support an artistic hobby or are
related to cooking and baking are often good choices. Take her for a theatrical show or to a spa or saloon, something that appeals to her inner diva!
Virgo (August 24 - September 22)
Virgo Moms are practical, possessing inquiring and logical minds. And so, once it comes to giving
gifts, you'll want to present her with useful things that make their
everyday life that much easier. Let it be a food processor, vacuum cleaner of
latest model, or kitchen equipped with next year technology.
Virgos rule the house of
health, so a health-conscience gift would always be appropriate. Practical crafts, reading and research
books regarding intellectual pursuits, learning new things, sewing, taking care
of domestic pets, walking and other forms of solitary exercise, woodworking,
writing (usually non-fiction) are all great gift ideas for the Virgo. Organizers,
personal planners, a new bookshelf, any sort of container or gadget that will
help the Virgo to tidy up things will be a pleasure to receive. Also, because
Virgos tend to worry about more than they need to, relaxing gifts work well
such yogo or meditation gifts. The best of all, turn the tables and cook a meal for your Mom! :)
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Gifts associated with the
astrological sign of Libra will revolve around anything luxury, aesthetics,
intellectual and sociable pursuits, and mind-body arts such as yoga. Libra Moms enjoy dancing, anything to do with design and decoration (buildings,
interiors, or fashions). Quite the intellect Librans love a dispute but will
equally enjoy quiet mediation. never limit yourself with just one gift.
Let the curiosity heat up.
Start the day tomorrow with
waking your Libra Mom with aroma of her favourite coffee or tea and freshest
cake. Present the flowers and sweets, maybe one or two other small gifts to
keep the interest going... postpone the main gift - later,
later... Take her to a restaurant, take a walk with her in the park, give them a ride on the boat - and rest assured your effort would be fruitful or even cook the dinner yourself.
And then hand over the main gift, or better yet - gifts. The mission
accomplished, your Libra Mother will remember this day all her life.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Gifts associated with the astrological sign of Scorpio revolve around
high-intensity sports, in-depth study of favourite topics, and anything that
requires strategy. Scorpio
likes getting gifts so much that from time to time gives gifts to themselves. If your Mom is a Scorpio, she'l prefers quality over quantity, so make sure your choice is elegant and upscale
no matter what. Perfumes, fine leather bag,
purse, novels (especially mystery; crime; espionage; and non-fiction topics
such as sexuality, business strategy, and psychology). A pair of designer sunglasses will appeal to this mom's love of intrigue.A heartfelt letter of thanks will also be welcome.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius loves motion and freedom and is happy about everything that
enables her to get out of the house – a trip, day at a spa, bicycle,
rockets and a bus ticket to another city to visit a friend – all equally good
choices. If your Mom is a Sagittarius, she loves travel, so travel related gifts are good. A
trip to someplace far away with a very different culture would be a Sagittarius
dream gift.Travel equipment or
books and videos on travel to different exotic places will appeal to this sign. She would also love good quality collector edition books, especially travel guides,
photographic panoramic landscapes and of course a good philosophical
read. Sagittarians are also well known for their sense of adventure, so
an experience day voucher will be well received as they will love a fun filled
day out at a theme park, kayaking, abseiling or parachuting. Alternatively, plan out a surprise party for her! :D
She would also love sentimental pieces that remind her of You. Find a mug, belt buckle or even a
t-shirt with a Sagittarius slogan splashed across it. They will absolutely love
it! Their favourite Colour is purple and for gift wrapping, the fancier
the better!
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns like gifts, not
gaudy and expensive but practical and useful. A heartfelt message on a card, a bracelet or ring, dinner, an inscription on a bookmark in a book that you give her, or just
sharing photos of you both will tell a Capricorn Mom that she is an important
part of your life. Buy her
a silk scarf or an elegant pearl necklace. Flowers that will wilt,
chocolates that will be eaten, and exotic decorations that will be stored
neatly in the attic are not good options. Capricorn's
favourite colour is green. Like their gifts they prefer conservative and
tasteful gift wrapping with absolutely no glitter.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
People born under the sign of
Aquarius are not only charismatic but also the visionaries of the Zodiac
therefore they enjoy progress and learning new things, they are true individualists
with a unique style. If your Mother is an Aquarian, she is probably traditionalist, look for something exquisite, that emanates the
feelings of another place and another time - anything that can allow her thoughts to drift and everyday life to new and captivating
concepts, such as a piece of jewellery that
must have been worn by a beautiful woman, fiercely independent, just like the
Aquarius woman. The latest piece of technology or gadget, whatever it may
be at the time, will fit the her personality. Everything that has
something to do with universe and space, everything that is mysterious, will
make your Aquarius Mother happy.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
People born under the sign of
Pisces are usually kind, compassionate, unworldly and selfless. They love
gifts of all kinds but mystical gifts will appeal the most, anything that will
help them escape the harsh realities of life. If your Mother is a Pisces, she'll appreciate plenty of pamper
gifts such as luxury bath foam, floating bath candles, fine wine and chocolates.
Photography also has a special place for Pisces as they are also natural born
photographers. Gift her a camera or anything related to photography or
give her family photos of treasured moments, framed exquisitely of course or a
photo album. Why not delight her by surprising with
some special peppermint foot cream and a relaxing foot massage. Anything that's
soft and rejuvenating for the feet such as a foot spa is likely to be a good
gift choice. Something
that tickles her taste-buds, gives her comfort, is a treat for the eye or
helps her to escape would be perfect.
She'll appreciate all beautiful things,
from the flowers of nature to handcrafted tapestries. Pisces are children of the
ocean, so anything relating to water is welcome. Think scented bath
salts, scented oils, candles. A trip to the coast or a lake will make a your Mother really happy.
