#99. A Zodiac Gift Guide
50 gift ideas... plus, the best gift of all!
Hi friends,
Before we dive in, I want to share the news that my most special gift of all arrived last Sunday, November 16th. My son, Wesley Lou, entered our world and we are completely and fully smitten with him.
As I’ve been in the newborn trenches, I’m going to combine my monthly Everything about November and December post together, and instead focus on writing out my birth story, which will be accessible for paid subscribers.
For now, I present you with the annual zodiac gift guide.
Water Signs - Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio.
They’re intuitive, sentimental, romantic, and a little mysterious, which means they adore gifts that help them sink deeper into comfort, creativity, or emotion. Gift them something comforting, tactile, cozy, or perhaps something that can bring a little magic into their day.
this cult fav hair towel — because water signs love a soft, sensory ritual
this hand soap — because who doesn’t want their bathroom to smell like a luxe boutique hotel (code KAROLINACOOK10 for 10% off)
the viral body stone — because they like it smooth, silky, and soothing
these boots — because they’re made for walking… in the rain, the fog, and every moody weather pattern water signs secretly adore
this lip gloss — because they know dewy lips are enchanting
these scorpio cocktail picks — because even in the kitchen, water signs love a touch of mystery and aesthetic flair
this personalized tortoise shell comb — because beauty rituals are sacred, and a personalized touch feels deeply sentimental
this weighted blanket — for ultimate comfort, grounding, and cocoon-level coziness
this stripped robe — because water signs deserve to float around their home in something cozy yet slightly dramatic
ballet wrap top — because they still wanna look hot while working out
this chunky cup and saucer — because slow mornings, warm drinks, and emotional reflection are their love language
Earth Signs - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth signs crave grounding and beauty they can actually use. Practical, well-made, and intentional gifts speak to their love of quality, routine, and calm. They appreciate things that last, things that display craftsmanship, and things that elevate the everyday. Gift them something that helps them stay organized, an over-the-top basic, or anything personalized.
the coziest clogs on the market — walking on a cloud while still being chic
these babyknot earings — impactful enough for a party but small enough to wear on an average day
this gua sha stone — because it’s best in class, or busts, and this stone is crème de la crème (code KAROLINACOOK10 for 10% off)
rhode glazing milk — because if anyone can master the “glazed donut” glow, it’s an earth sign with impeccable routines
these cocquette champagne glasses — because even their stemware should feel a little romantic, delicate, and thoughtful
these serving utensils — because they love pieces that are timeless, practical, and beautifully mad
nodpod sleep mask — because restorative sleep and weighted anything = instant calm
norba one piece — for the movers, shakers, and quiet trendsetters
this over-the-top soap dish — because even a soap dish should always be cute, curated, and just a touch extra
custom stationary cards — because they’re so darn polite and thoughtful
striped plush towels — because nothing makes them happier than everyday essentials that feel spa-worthy
new works table lamp — because lighting matters, and good design should be functional, warm, and quietly stunning
Air Signs - Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
Air signs live in the realm of ideas. They love novelty, aesthetics, conversation, and anything that sparks curiosity. Gift them something clever, stylish, or conversation-worthy — something that makes their brain light up or their space feel a bit more “them.”
this sweet and delicate print — as well as the entire Sofia Lind collection (I adore all 3 bestsellers)
this modern chess set — for the intellectuals of the zodiac
matisse playing cards — … and the artists of the zodiac
water colour pocket set — see above
this self tanner — because they’re not above ensuring they look good (code: KAROLINA10 for 10% off)
these toothbrush holders — would make the perfect stocking stuffers
this beaded phone necklace — because they always have to stand out with a statement piece
this daschund eye mask — quirky but cute
this capsule container — because they would have an aesthetic pill organizer
this fruit tray — because they always pick the good produce
this wavy and whimsical tray — perfect for creating a beautiful display
this whatever-you-want holder — go ahead and add some Greek aesthetics to your bathroom
this rice paper lamp — because you wouldn’t catch them dead with overhead lighting
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
To call someone “fiery” is both a compliment and an insult, and that’s the line that these signs must balance. Fire signs want excitement, expression, and a little drama. They love gifts that fuel their passion, their confidence, or their sense of adventure. Gift them something bold, fun, playful, or luxurious — anything that makes them feel alive and unstoppable.
these ballet flats — because who says you can’t be sporty and posh?
this darling matchbox — because if anyone’s going to light up a room, it’s them
these gym socks — because even their basics need to shout main character energy
this gemstoned lighter — because they love a spark
this creatine monohydrate — because fire signs go hard, and they want to feel strong doing it
this book — of course It Girl Jane Birkin was a fire sign
this lip care kit — because their charisma deserves a soft, glossy finish
this jumpsuit — to match the ballet flats of course
this card game — for those who like it fast, chaotic, and wildly competitive
these shearling mittens — because fire signs burn bright, but their hands deserve to stay warm during their next adventure
this blush — because no one makes you red in the face like a fire sign
this snake hoodie — because they were likely team Rob Rausch
this beach wrap skirt — for when they bring the heat… or book a last-minute flight somewhere hot
