Star shopping

ARIES: This is the intrepid sign of the zodiac. They need to test themselves mentally and physically. Good gifts include things that will push them out of their comfort zone, such as helicopter joy flight, a weekend trip to and exciting destination, or a gym or sporting club membership. For the less adventurous, buy something they can use to expand their enterprising spirit, such as tools for a new project.

TAURUS: Taureans love beautiful things and enjoy working towards long-lasting projects. They love the tangible, which can be experienced with their five senses. Any quality food produce is perfect, especially fine chocolate or a good bottle of wine. For the more artistically inclined, a CD by their fave band or tickets to a good film are presents they’re sure to enjoy.

GEMINI: Communication is where it’s at for the twins. Mobile phones, IPod’s or electronic toys are a great choice. Geminis love learning new subjects, so a book on a topic that interests them is an excellent choice as is a magazine subscription. Fun is high on their list too, so a night out on the town will also be a hit.

CANCER: Cancerians are the touch-feely soft centers of the zodiac. They want their home to be a place where everyone feels welcome. They enjoy things that give them comfort and soothe their soul, which means they will love aromatic oils, cushions, soft furnishings and lamps. They adore food, so quality products or kitchen utensils are good. A romantic dinner in a quiet restaurant is another present they will love.

LEO:  Lions love glamour, even if they don’t like to admit it! They’re not so worried about practicality or value for money. They appreciate generosity and lovely things for their aesthetic value. Make your Lion feel special with a beauty treatment, haircut, clothes and accessories. Perfume, watches, jewellery and art for their homes will also be treasured. For something more original give them tickets for a play or an artistic event.

VIRGO: Very practical, they like any object that will make their life easier. If they enjoy cooking, give them something useful for the kitchen. If it’s gardening then the tools of the trade. The secret is to find out how they like to spend their time and buy them something to make it even more enjoyable. Most Virgo’s love reading and like having their life organised, so books, and lush stationary are excellent for their efficient side.

LIBRA: The keepers of the peace, they enjoy sharing belongings and experiences with like-minded souls. Give a Libran something they can use with others. They also value beautiful objects of desire and have expensive tastes. So if you’ve found the perfect handbag with matching wallet and shoes then they should probably be gifted to your nearest Libran friend!

SCORPIO: The deepest, most turbulent sign of the zodiac, Scorpions enjoy unexplored subjects, mystery and the occult. They also like books on the esoterica and psychology. Whatever you choose, make sure it has a meaning behind it. Think tribal bowl with carvings or crystal jewllery or a sacred tour.

SAGITTARIUS: Young-at-heart, they like things they can play with. Buy something they can amuse themselves with, whether it’s a camera or new project. Sagg’s love travelling and learning, so a book on a subject that they enjoy or a surprise outing are fantastic ideas. They also love anything foreign. Exotic decorations for their home or a coffee-table book about far off places are gifts to cherish.

CAPRICORN:  Goats don’t really like surprises or change but they do love luxury. A good bottle of wine, anything connoisseur, academic, artisan and downright designer is up their gift alley. Caps are thrilled if you put thought into your choice and a good gift for their souls is a massage to help relieve all of the tension tend to carry in their backs.

AQUARIUS: Aquarians love unusual things! A rare book, artefact or toy that gets people thinking will be appreciated. They will then take great pride in telling everyone the wonderful story behind the item. Aquarians enjoy all kinds of electronic gadgets too, but be sure to get them the latest model! They’ll love tix for rare events. The secret here is to bypass the mainstream and search out the singular.

PISCES: Dreamy Pisceans live in a wonderful fantasy world and often can’t find their car keys so don’t buy them practical presents. They like to be transported to magical places and books, music and films of this kind. They find pleasure in colourful and mystical and artistic events. Buy them a water feature, a weekend retreat or a night in a classy hotel!
