Sagittarius (22 Nov-21 Dec)
Sagittarians love adventure and spending time in the great outdoors, and they certainly have a taste for travel. This archer sign leaves no stone unturned and is always on the move, so what better gift than a luxurious camera bag to make sure each memory is captured? Also consider a passport cover or plan out your next adventurous trip together.

Capricorn (22 Dec-19 Jan)
Capricorns can be fearless, extremely persistent and practical. Cologne or eau de toilette is a practical gift that busy Capricorns will appreciate, helping them feel effortlessly put together.

Aquarius (20 Jan-18 Feb)
This water-bearing sign loves the latest tech and must-have gadgets. Their taste can be slightly eccentric so aim for a gift that’s a little offbeat, such as a stand-out speaker or pair of funky headphones.

Pisces (19 Feb-20 Mar)
This fish sign is known to be romantic, artistic and imaginative. If you need creative inspiration, look to a Pisces for a burst of ideas. Pick out everyday objects that look anything but ordinary, such as this cheese board and knife that would fit right in at an art gallery.

Aries (21 Mar-19 Apr)
Aries are bold and are sure to stand out wherever they go. They have bucket loads of energy, so to match this exuberant sign, choose something with lots of personally like an eccentric accessory or a statement gadget.

Taurus (20 Apr-20 May)
These bulls love music, appreciate the arts and have exquisite taste. Look for artistic and eye-catching jewellery or elegant home decor like bookends or silverware.

Gemini (21 May-20 Jun)
Geminis are vibrant, original and are always the conversation starter. The sign is represented by a set of twins, so honour this with a pair of products. Matching watches with advanced mechanisms are bound to start many conversations.

Cancer (21 Jun-22 Jul)
Cancers are homebodies and love spending quality time relaxing in their own space. Help these emotional individuals achieve their comfort goals with luxurious bedding, home fragrances and candles.

Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug)
These lions are confident, brave and love being the centre of attention. Leos are born entertainers and are always ensuring all eyes are on them, so why not get them a gift that will ensure they really do stand out from a crowd? An edgy pair of sunglasses will do the trick.

Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep)
Virgos are some of the most organised people you will know, and they love control and tend to be perfectionists. They pay a lot of attention to detail and are practical, so classic stationery and organisers make great, useful gifts.

Libra (23 Sep-22 Oct)
Libras tend to be social butterflies and love hosting guests. If you need a networking pro, Libras are your best bet. Treat them to a gift that speaks to their hosting skills, such as beautiful glassware.

Scorpio (23 Oct-21 Nov)
Scorpios are trendsetters and passionate about projects. Give them a bold accessory or, for men, a trendy shaving kit – because for fashionable people, grooming is a daily project in itself.
