Gift Ideas for Aries
Keywords: Active, Exciting
Aries are bold, demanding, and energetic. They love to take charge and that’s why you should give them a gift that allows them to do so.
While a gift card may be a turn off for some other signs, it’s perfect for the Aries who likes taking charge of how the money is spent. Plus, there’s always that little thrill that comes from retail therapy and Aries love excitement.
Many Aries spend a lot of time doing outdoor activities and like fast, instant results. So the fast absorbing and (easily spreadable) Dr. Ceuracle Cica Regen Vegan Sun Cream for the outdoors or a fast-acting two-step sheet mask like The Pure Lotus: Lotus Leaf Mask are also good ideas. Always think ‘action oriented’ when shopping for an Aries.
Gift Ideas for Taurus
Keywords: Soft Things
Tauruses like soft things. That’s all you need to know. Fine—I’ll explain: Tauruses are very sensual because they have heightened senses. So anything pleasurable that really indulges the five senses should be on your list. Especially if it’s soft.
Tauruses love good food too, so why not go for something that engages three senses in one? This A by BOM Honey Cica Mask Set leaves your skin super supple and soft afterwards AND smells like real honey! Okay, they won’t get to really eat the honey but still… Or how about a beautifully fruit and herbal scented Sulwhasoo Essential Lip Serum that leaves your lips soft as ever?
Tauruses are also very fixed in their ways so their #skincareroutine probably does not change much. Get something that is a staple in their routine or can become a staple, like the 107 Everyday Plump Hydro Cream. It not only feels great but is a staple in so many skincare lovers’ routines!
Gift Ideas for Gemini
Keywords: Variety, Play
Mercury, the planet of intellect, the mind, and thoughts, rules this dual sign. As a result, Geminis are curious and love variety since they change their minds often. A variety of smaller gifts would be a good idea for this sign.
Engage a Gemini’s need for variety and new things with the BMK Sheet Mask Sampler Set! They will love trying something new and learning something different about each mask too. Even better—you can pique their curiosity by wrapping the sheet masks individually so they can be surprised each time.
Geminis also like to engage their mind through play so also consider the novel Aqulabo Jelly Mist. It’s intriguing and the concept of ‘jelly to mist’ is pretty mind blowing and playful.
Gemini is not only associated with the curious mind but also the hands! They are often attracted to things they can play with that engage their hands so check out the My Soft Grain Scrub by Sioris. It’s a DIY K-beauty exfoliator that you get to mix yourself!
Gift Ideas for Cancer
Keywords: Cozy, Nurturing
Cancers are creatures of comfort and love nurturing—whether it’s their friends, lover, home, plant, or pet. Find a gift that allows them to nurture themselves too and bring a sense of comfort.
Every Cancer coworker I have ever known always smelled great and used scented hand creams that they kept at their desk. Coincidence? I think not.
Since Cancers love the home and staying indoors, they’re more sensitive to the outside environment, making them prone to want to take care of themselves while braving the outside world. It’s not like you can cook or do skincare at your desk at work… so hand cream it is. This A by BOM hand cream is nourishing and deeply hydrating, with a beautiful floral scent. They’ll be able to take care of their lips too since this cream comes as a set with a moisturizing tinted lip balm with SPF.
Or, look for something cozy to appeal to a Cancer. A Huxley candle or the Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask are viable options for your Cancer to get some rejuvenation while cozying up in their homes.
Cancers are also sentimental so make sure to include a handwritten note or homemade card (or cookies). They will cherish that. Skip giving money as a gift to a Cancer. It’s heartless.
Gift Ideas for Leo
Keywords: Pamper, Shiny
Leos are symbolized by the sun. And like the sun, Leos shine bright and love being at the center of attention. Even if your Leo says they don’t—they probably still end up at the center of attention somehow and like things that make them look good at least.
This luxurious spa-grade Lux Bride Modeling Mask by A by BOM will leave a Leo’s skin looking radiant as they are. Leos love being pampered as they’re the sign of royalty. So let them know how adored they are with something extravagant and royal like gold. This modeling mask happens to be formulated with real gold, silver, and pearl powder. The A by BOM Ultra Royal Leaf sheet mask also has 24k gold too.
Alternatively, you can pamper and make your Leo look good with something fancy like a silicone cleansing brush or an Etude House LED Mirror. Whatever you end up buying, tell a Leo that the gift made you think specifically of them and throw in a compliment for good measure.
Gift Ideas for Virgo
Keywords: Natural, Details
Virgo is the sign most likely to tell you what they want since they can be particular and specific in their tastes. Be detailed and get them what they say they want unless you have some secret scheme to annoy a Virgo.
Most Virgos are health conscious and enjoy nature as they’re the sign symbolized by purity. And is there anything purer than nature? The practical and vegan The Pure Lotus Jeju Botanical Sun Cream would play into their health conscious side (SPF is a health precaution!). Don’t forget to include the informational card that has all of the health benefits of the botanical ingredients.
It’s too bad hand sanitizer is not considered skincare because I would definitely include that. Virgos are notorious for hating germs and wanting things clean and organized—it all goes back to the purity theme. How’s the Hyggee Soft Reset Green Cleansing Balm as an alternative? This cleansing balm cleans deep down into the pores, leaving your pores purified and looking clean.
Gift Ideas for Libra
Keywords: Beautiful, Balance
Libras love stylish and beautiful things as it gives them a sense of harmony and balance. It’s no surprise that Be Mused Korea is a Libra and everything on the site is beautiful and stylish!
Packaging and aesthetics are important for a Libra. They’ll want something that looks pretty and refined on their vanity or bathroom shelf. The BONAIR Blue Smoother Set has beautiful packaging with a gorgeous shade of blue. It doesn’t just look luxurious but feels luxurious on the skin as well, leaving skin with a beautiful glow. Libra is also the sign of partnership and balance so they’ll like that this gift is a duo set that looks great together on their dresser.
Oloa Microalgae Duo Set is another option for similar reasons stated above. For more great packaging, check out Dear Dahlia products; the Paradise Moisture Veil Lip Glaze is just stunning.
Make sure your gift is wrapped nicely! They’ll appreciate the aesthetics.
Gift Ideas for Scorpio
Keywords: Mystery, Transformation
Scorpios are deep, secretive, and sensitive. They’re ruled by Pluto, the planet that symbolizes darkness, deep transformation, and rebirth. Thus, Scorpios are often drawn to such themes in life, including healing and restoration.
You can appeal to a Scorpio with the A by BOM Ultra Time Return Eye Cream since it is a restorative eye cream that regenerates vitality and firmness back to the eye area. Or give them a gift voucher for a “Vampire Facial” aka a transformative PRP treatment that uses your own blood plasma to restore life into your skin. Dark, transformative, and rebirth all in one. Read all about PRP Vampire facials here.
Scorpios are also attracted to darker and deeper colors as they give off an air of mystery. So go for products with packaging like the BONAIR Rose Illuminator Oil Drop, A by BOM Ultra Time Return Eye Serum, or Femmue Lumiere Vital C — three luxe K-beauty products with a rich, darker glass bottle.
Above all, notice something about them and find a gift to match. It might be tougher than you think—they’re secretive, remember? This passionate and sensitive sign will love that you noticed them and put the time and thought into buying them a gift.
Don’t forget to wrap the gift! They like the mystery and intrigue.
Gift Ideas for Sagittarius
Keywords: Fun, Adventurous
Sagittariuses are fun, freedom-loving, and adventurous. The obvious gift for a Sagittarius would be a travel skincare kit, cleansing stick, or travel sized sunscreen since many of them love seeing the world and travel often. But don’t forget that you can also appeal to their fun and philosophical sides too!
The Aqulabo Jelly Mist is a fitting gift for a Sagittarius because the product itself is so innovative and fun! How cool is a skincare toner/mist that looks like jelly but sprays like a mist? Sagittariuses are adventurous and love trying new things too, especially if it’s foreign. Lastly, it’s travel friendly! Instead of packing a liquid toner, this jelly mist can dual as a leak-free toner and it’s so easy to just spray and go. And we all know Sagittariuses are always on the go.
Some other no frills Korean skincare gift ideas that are also fun are the Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask and Etude House Cherry Lip Gel Patch.
Gift Ideas for Capricorn
Keywords: Practical, Classic
Capricorns are all about goals. Even if they don’t seem to have goals or be reaching their goals, they always have thoughts of goals running through their mind. So either gift something practical that helps your Capricorn reach their goals… or something that can help them relax from working so hard at—or thinking about—their goals (ex. a spa voucher).
But what about skincare goals? Capricorns are ruled by Saturn, the planet that symbolizes hard work and time. That’s why they’ll like a classic skincare product that works and give results—and thereby stands the tests of time, gimmicks, and fads. This Atoclassic Real Tonic Soothing First Toner is a great choice as it’s formulated with hanbang, traditional Korean herbal medicine, which is about as classic as it gets.
Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum is another timeless and high quality option that also uses traditional Korean hanbang ingredients! And it’s well known to deliver results—just like a Capricorn.
Gift Ideas for Aquarius
Keywords: Unique, New
Aquariuses love unique or different things as they themselves are quite offbeat and unique.
That’s why the A by BOM Ultra Time Return Eye Serum would be a fitting skincare gift for an Aquarius. Eye creams and eye patches are of abundance in the skincare world… but how often do you hear of an eye serum? This A by BOM eye serum is not only unique but actually effective for antiaging and brightening.
Check out the 107 Chaga Jelly Low pH Cleanser for another unique K-beauty product. I mean, when’s the last time you saw a cleanser made of both Chaga mushroom extract and fermented vinegar?
Aquariuses tend to lean towards new technology, scientific, or futuristic concepts so skincare gadgets like a silicone cleansing brush or a skin analyzer device that can connect to your smartphone are also possible gifts for an Aquarius.
An Aquarius probably won’t mind how you wrap your gift. Or if you wrap it for that matter.
Gift Ideas for Pisces
Keywords: Soothing, Escape
Pisces are the most sensitive sign of the zodiac. The harshness of reality and the world can really weigh down on their energy so they’ll appreciate any gift that will help them self-soothe or escape the world (bubble bath soap, diffusers, essential oils, wine…).
But if we’re talking skincare, the BMK Soothe & Hydrate Set will soothe your Pisces’ skin while he/she relaxes and gets lost in art, music, or daydreams. The A by BOM Blue Cica Azulene Dew Soothing Hydration Cream can also do the same if you apply extra to use as a face mask. Plus, it looks magical and Pisces are often drawn to the mystical aspect of life.
Many Pisces also like to sleep to escape and recharge so you could also give them a sleeping pack like the Hanyul Moonlight Citron Sleeping Mask. Allure best described it as “a cup of healing yuzu tea.” Healing tea powers in a sleeping pack might just be what your Pisces needs. They often get drained from playing the healer role to others since they are the most empathetic and compassionate sign.
