Whether you and your partner like to stick to homemade gifts, or you tend to use holidays as a time to really ball out, it's natural to wonder about the best Valentine’s Day gift for your partner. While there's no wrong time to give someone you love a super special present, Feb. 14 can be the right time to really hit it out of the park. It is Cupid's birthday, after all — no pressure or anything.
While the zodiac can't literally dictate anything, if you're struggling to lock down the perfect present for your special someone, knowing their sign may give you some added insight on their tastes and needs. From sending your Aquarius boo on a super thoughtful scavenger hunt to finally getting around to doing the chore you've promised your Virgo SO you'd do for a month, the zodiac can help you pick out the perfect present for your lover. Like all things in this century, you can consider astrology to be your not-so-secret shortcut, leading you to the right the answers.
If you're stressed about shopping and overwhelmed with options, here is the perfect present to get for your boo for V-Day, based on their zodiac sign.
On any given day, Leo likes the limelight. So when Feb. 14 comes around, it's safe to say this lion expects the works. While you could ball out on a fancy dinner and a limo ride (and trust me, they'd love every minute of it), Leo just wants to feel special. They'll love to read a nice card full of the reasons their boo loves them, along with a bouquet of flowers.
Virgo is all about actions over words. That bookshelf you said you'd fix. That book you promised to give back, to put on said bookshelf. That other little thing they've been mentioning for weeks now that you've been putting off. Consider V-Day a time to show them that you've been listening to them and care about their needs.
Lovely Libra is all about fantasy and imagination. The sign of love and beauty, they like to treat themselves and their boos to the finer things in life. This V-Day, the scales will love fancy bath products, like shampoos and soaps from Aesop, along with the promise of a steamy shower together. Bonus points for creating something intricate and roleplaying a situation for later in the night.
Maybe you express your feelings to them by reading them a poem about love. Maybe you give them the spare key to your place. While you don't have to literally unfollow all of your exes in front of them, doing something to show your commitment to them and only them is the V-Day present of this water sign's dreams.
In an ideal world, where money isn't real and no one needs to go to work, the ideal V-Day present for a Sag would probably be an impromptu trip or exotic vacation. However, in the real world, simply trying a new restaurant, getting them a book they haven't read, or going seeing an art show they've expressed interest in will really make them happy.
For V-Day, this goat will love a present that's multifunctional and durable, and most importantly, that they can use personally and professionally. Something like a Speck backpack that's good for work and travel says, "I love how hard you work, and I also I think it would be fun to take a vacation together someday." Aw.
Quirky Aquarius loves to solve problems. Not one for traditional dinner dates, they'll love to run all over town looking for riddles and clues. A Valentine's Day scavenger hunt will keep this water beater on their toes and make their heart skip a beat.
Intuitive Pisces love to connect to the natural world around them. They'll love natural body products or herbal tinctures (and, like, literally everything else from dreamy shops like Fat and the Moon). Tender and nurturing, these fish needed to reminded to take care of themselves and will love something with healing properties and light scents.
