A unique sign deserves a unique gift.
Secure the Title of “Favorite Friend” With This Aquarius Gift Guide
So, you’re already behind on shopping for your favorite Aquarius' bday and you're totally stuck on what to give your water-bearer friend/family member/S.O. (Not to be confused with water sign—Aquarius is an air sign, and you better not get it twisted.) But have no fear, I’m here to present you with a handy Aquarius gift guide. Hold your applause, please.
In case you need a refresher on what those born between January 21 and February 19 are all about, Aquarians are assertive, analytical, and independent. A triple threat of strength! They’re also a bit stubborn, but they don’t sweat the small stuff, so they’ll only reveal that side of their personality if you push their buttons. As sociable air signs, they love to be with their friends, but beware when their social battery runs out. Aquarians are extremely interested in exploring, whether it be through trying new food or visiting a place they’ve never been before. Basically, they’re a balance of fierce/independent and easygoing/open-minded, which sounds confusing until you know them. They're truly one of a kind—in fact, Aquarius is sometimes called the "weirdo" of the zodiac. That's a good thing, promise.
Aquarius is associated with science and technology, creativity, and humanitarianism, so your Aquarius friend likely has wide-ranging interests, from creating makeup looks to inventing new social media platforms to fundraising for causes close to their hearts. See, Aquariuses are pretty easy to shop for thanks to their many different moods and various interests. Lucky you! Here, you’ll find fun tech toys, like a selfie light, plus items that’ll help them relax, like a metallic bath bomb. Read on for some bday gift ideas Aquarius will love.
