Sarah Khan 14 Nov 2016

1/12
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries sees itself as a trendsetter. They value individuality and are partial to things or trends that nobody else might have. Anything unique, bold or custom-made like a chic pillow or quirky wall art would be something they would appreciate.
The active, thrill-seeking Aries is also always looking for ways to stay in shape, so athletic equipment or sportswear might be a gift idea you want to consider. It is also worth noting that people born under this sign are fond of the colour red, so anything in a cranberry or scarlet hue would typically be something they would like.
For Her: Urban Outfitters Lips Mirror, SGD120
For Him: Nike Stefan Janoski Max Skateboarding Shoes (via Zalora), SGD189
2/12
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Taurus would appreciate any gift that appeals to their sensual side. It's definitely quality over quantity for this sign, which favours luxurious, lasting products. Consider a box of gourmet chocolates, a cozy throw or even a great cologne for the Taurus man in your life.
For Him/Her: Awfully Chocolate Christmas Hamper Set, SGD188
For Him: Burberry Brit Rhythm Men EDT 90ml (via Sephora), SGD130
3/12
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Witty and intellectual Geminis enjoy gifts that stimulate them mentally. A great read is always welcome, like the 2016 bestselling short stories collection by Helen Oyeyemi.
This is the sign that rules the hand, so a statement ring or even a scented hand lotion would also make for a neat gift.
For Her: Shantal Jewelry Cubic Zirconia Full Finger Ring (via Zalora), SGD96.90
For Him/Her: What is Not Yours is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi (via Kinokuniya), SGD39.35

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Cancers are the sentimental, comfort-seeking homebodies of the zodiac sign. Consider handmade items, a fancy coffee maker, a great bottle of wine, or beauty products that will appeal to their vanity.
For Her: The Body Shop Spa of the World Japanese Camellia Cream, SGD59.90
For Him/Her: Electrolux Coffee Maker (via Harvey Norman), SGD59
5/12
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The image-conscious Leo loves gifts that make them look and feel terrific. Grooming items, trendy items of clothing or cosmetics are generally great gift ideas for this star sign. As Leos adore a bit of attention and lots of drama, opt for bold gifts like a trendy printed blazer for a Leo man, or a great makeup kit for the Leo lady in your life.
For Her: Zoeva Rose Golden Palette (via Sephora), SGD36
For Him: ASOS Super Skinny Blazer with Floral Design, SGD150
6/12
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos love practical gifts, so avoid giving trinkets or decorative items they might not have any use for. They are also known to value and pride themselves on their impeccable appearances, so a great, well-designed watch or a scented lotion by an organic or eco-friendly label would make a perfect gift for this sign.
For Her: FJORD Finn Watch (via Zalora), SGD208

7/12
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libras are into beauty, aesthetics, and great art and fashion. As this star sign particularly loves playing host to parties or dinners, decorative home pieces will make for a great gift. Consider a designer candle or even a piece of wall art to spruce up their home interior.
For Her: Yankee Candle Shimmering Star Large Tea Light Candle Holder, SGD29.99
For Him/Her: IKEA PJÄTTERYD Picture, SGD24.90
8/12
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
Scorpios are slightly secretive by nature and enjoy gifts that somewhat obscure their appearance, like a great pair of designer sunglasses or even a slouchy hat or fedora.
This musically-minded sign also loves a good beat, so a new record player to support their vinyl habit would make for a gift they would love. Touted as the most sexual sign of the zodiac, we are also confident the Scorpio in your life would not say no to a set of seductive lingerie.
For Her: La Senza Strappy Push Up Merrywidow, SGD70
For Him: Fossil Leather Black Sunglasses (via Zalora),SGD172.90
For Him/Her: Crosley X UO Cruiser Metallic Bluetooth Record Player (via UrbanOutfitters), SGD140
9/12
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The adventurous, philosophical archer will be the first to tell you outright if they do not like a gift they received, so be sure to get it right. Feed this travel-hungry sign's wanderlust with an atlas, or a world map wall blackboard, like the one pictured left.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The ambitious, career-oriented Capricorn would appreciate any gift that boosts their job status, so a leather laptop carrier, daily organizer or an iPad case would make for a perfect gift. This star sign isn't just all work and no play, however; with their wicked sense of humour opt for a fun, playful print like the Kate Spade case pictured left.

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

The unpredictable Aquarian is also always up for hosting a fun games night, whether it involves poker, Taboo, charades, or a witty game of Cards Against Humanity.

For Him/Her: Game of Thrones: The Board Game (2nd Edition), SGD84.90

Pisces
Pisces are the ultimate dreamers, so a daily journal to document their thoughts and thoughts would make for a great gift.
