Okay, let’s go shopping for the signs! To begin, of course, we must start with the Aries for they would not feel they had their due unless we begin with them, would they?

I’d get my Aries friend a red T-shirt or sweat shirt. Let’s face it, they are going to use it and use it over and over again. A pink red for a light skinned Aries and a blue red for a dark skinned Aries. Remember that if your Aries friend’s hair is dyed to go for a match with the hair, instead of the skin color! If the T says something, even better, but make the statement FIRM, LOUD and STRONG.

For my Taurus friend I would buy a shawl every time. A nice, comfy wrap with material that feels good against the skin, esp. the face. Lace is also fine if you can find a soft lace and I’d make sure the shawl was washable, not a dry cleanable fabric. After all, your friend is practical and wants to wear the shawl often without worrying about have to part with it (parting with things is hard for a Taurus,) by sending it to the dry cleaner! Notice: I said SHAWL, not scarf, because…

It’s my Gemini friend who wants the scarf. A funky, colorful scarf, original and better yet, homemade! If it’s colorful and can be worn with all of their costume creations it’s a coveted item for a Gemini and can’t you just picture the “Depp,” quality they will get from it? This is for a male or a female Gemini, the male type will wear it as well so long as it attracts their attention and makes them look interesting. Accessories are a good way to go, period, when it comes to your Gemini friend but I’d choose a scarf as my first choice.

Your Cancer friend would love a necklace that hangs just about breast level. Yes, I said “breast level,” because that is the area they are most likely to show off . Best bought in a pastel color and in a “drop,” shape where the necklace has a part that drops lower than the rest of the necklace. I’d pick one that was of quality because my Cancer friend would want to know that there was a bit of investment in my choice. For a male? I’d choose slippers. That’s right, comfy slippers for his feet and I bet he hasn’t thought of buying himself the very things that make us feel cozy at home, has he? If he has, trust me, he’s worn them out! I’d get my Cancer female friend a pair of slippers as a back up also, by the way.

My Leo girlfriend would most definitely want a gift certificate to have her hair washed and styled. You KNOW your male Leo friend would like that pampering too from a nice salon. My Leo friend would get a gift certificate to a nice salon for a wash and style and I know that they would start to instruct the hairdresser BEFORE they even arrived as they plan how to tell the hairstylist what to do EXACTLY to their head! LOL. If you can afford it, a gift certificate to get their hair cut is also a good choice. If your Leo friend has gotten rid of all their hair which they often do as a statement, still give that gift, after all, they skin there must be pampered as well or it looks dry and icky!

Miss Virgo would adore a gift certificate to go out and eat at a restaurant that suits their particular diet. Now let’s be clear here:

A Virgo, male or female, is very serious about their foot intake. EVEN if they eat junk food they know which junk food is their favorite and they ADORE eating it. A Virgo may not admit it but they love to eat and a good, quality meal in their food tastes is a never miss gift. It may seems less personal than other gifts but you must trust me on this, to a Virgo, their stomach IS personal. They will feel you took the time to find a restaurant that matches them perfectly if you take the time to shop about and find one that caters to their very style of feeding themselves.

I’ve never seen a Virgo NOT particular about where they eat and they rate those restaurants every time. What goes into their tummy matters!
