Astrological Gift Ideas

Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas... it seems like there is one gift giving occasion after another. You spend hours - sometimes days and weeks - trying to come up with those perfect gift ideas. Just when you think your safe, along comes another gift giving event. It's true. Gift giving does come naturally to some people. For the rest of us, it can be quite overwhelming. So for a fun gift alternative, think astrology! Okay, so not everyone is superstitious or believes in planetary positioning being responsible for their bad day. But everyone does have a sun sign and most people at least occasionally glance at their horoscope. So what should you get that hard-working Capricorn or affectionate Leo? Here are some sunsational gift ideas:

Astrology Guide: Visit Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble for a wide selection of astrological guides. Most of these are printed on a monthly or yearly basis. They include forecasts that tell the recipient what to expect for the upcoming days ahead. These guides teach how to apply astrology's ancient wisdom to navigate through today's world.

Zodiac Charm Bracelet: For women, jewelry always makes a nice gift. Accordingly, Zodiac charm bracelets are ideal for young girls, teenagers and youthful adults. Find out their astrological sign and custom order one made out of sterling silver or gold. You can find these online or at local jewelry stores.

Astrology Birth Charts: Whether they believe in astrology or not, one of the most unique gifts you can give is an astrological birth chart based around the time and place that they were born. It lends unique insight into the true essence of who they are and what the future may hold for them. They are very different from everyday horoscopes, as they are built around the particulars of a person as opposed to a Zodiac sign. Makes for interesting coffee table reading!

Chinese Zodiac T-Shirt: T-shirts have universal appeal, making them a really safe gift to give just about anyone. For a one-of-a-kind gift idea, have your gift recipient's Chinese Zodiac animal screen printed onto a t-shirt or tank top. It's a fashionable and fun astrological gift.

Horoscope Wall Clock: They'll always be on time, thanks to their Zodiac sign! A gift like this creates a great conversation piece. And you'll be happy to know that big, bold wall clocks are one of the hottest decorating trends. So you're not only giving a fun, unique gift, you'll be giving a gift that's in-style.

Astrological gift giving is a terrific way to ensure that the gift you choose will be one that the other person genuinely appreciates. So don't be a lazy Libra! Start shopping for those astro-fun gifts today!
