Boxed chocolate is basic and lingerie can be yummy but typical. But think about how Cupid might really excite or move the air, fire, water or earth sign in your life if you showered them with a gift that is tailored to match their energy?
How’bout some Valentine’s gifting that’s built around Bae’s Zodiac sign? We took the bore out of having to choose from yet another regular-degular-smegular gift and put some real thought into sourcing a gift that is based on the inner workings of your lover’s sun, moon and rising sign.
The moon sign is the intimate part of someone that only those close to a person get to see. Shopping for Bae’s moon sign will make them feel seen.
Get into these unique Valentine’s Day gift ideas for each Zodiac sign:
Aquarius
Your Aquarius is different, marches to the beat of their own drum and proud of it. They’re visually creative and love a funky craft. For that reason, we think they’ll love some whimsical, non-traditional jewelry from HOME by Areeayl. This designer’s jewelry transcends your usual diamond studs and chunky bangles. It’s just the kind of outside-the-box creativity an Aquarius loves.
Pisces
You know your Pisces wants to be pampered with their Valentine’s Day gift. They want to literally drip with a feeling of decadence and pure bliss. That’s why we recommend you smother them in some dewy products from SkinBUTTR. They make scrubs, lotions and skincare, all with a base of whipped shea that will leave your honey smelling sweet enough to devour.
Aries
Ah the firey Aries. You can read their emotions like a book and they’re proud of it. They’re adventurous, bold and loving. An Aires will adore you for planning something that is exciting and allows for quality time, so think on that (a little V-day skydiving?). But if you want to give them something they can hold, help them get ready for a night out with a beauty box from KEE Essential Beauty. Then tell them you have a reservation on some rooftop restaurant – Aries love a good rooftop experience.
Taurus
If you know anything about this effortlessly chill sign, then you know not to spring any big activities on them for V-day. The biggest gift you can give them is relaxation. This spa day relaxation box can get them started. It’s been curated with products from Black and minority-owned businesses including a non-alcoholic cocktail, a raw juice sheet mask, ultra-fuzzy socks and handcrafted scented wax melts.
Gemini

You know your Gemini loves to get lost in a good art project or philosophy book. These cerebral Air sign creatures enjoy mental stimulation, but in a way that’s peaceful. And they don’t mind a little solitude. Gift your genius Gemini this introspective book, Purposeful Perspectives: Empowering Black Women Towards Spiritual Alignment, Self-Mastery & Joy, by Nichomi Higgins, LMFT. They’ll love that you wanted to nurture their mind.
Cancer
Cancers are very gentle and nurturing. They’re caretakers and, TBH, can be people pleasers. You can really pull at a Cancer’s heartstrings by coddling them on Valentine’s Day. Maybe draw them a bath, get a nice bottle of wine and make dinner. If you’re not much of a chef, you can download the Black and Mobile app, which is like a GrubHub that only delivers from Black-owned restaurants.
Leo
This fire sign has no problem standing out. They like to celebrate their love of life and firey personality through their look. So dazzle your loving Leo with something that sparkles and shines – like they do. If you have a little cash to invest in this present, we highly recommend checking out Brandon Blackwood’s line of bold accessories.
Virgo
Virgos are planners. You can bet that they’ve already planned out your whole Valentine’s Day, so maybe leave that to them. But you can appeal to their organizational side – the side that loves to de-clutter – with a beautiful jewelry box. Pristine Boxes is a Black-owned brand making beautiful, customized jewelry boxes for your loved one to organize all their shiny things in. Plus, if you get them jewelry, now they have something to put that other Valentine’s Day gift in.
Libra
Libras are earthy and romantic. They like rich experiences, sensual textures and connection with nature. If your Libra has a sense of humor, you could combine their undoubted love of crystals and romance with this crystal penis from this Black-owned crystal brand based out of Orlando.
Scorpio
Scorpios are sensual, mysterious beings. They don’t just enjoy fucking – they savor love.
They take their time in the art of seduction and they like to be rewarded. So gift your sexy Scorpio some classic, red roses—and a happy ending. The kind that will leave them breathless and remembering years to come. Send your Scorpio lover DoorDash’s Self-Love Bouquet. It comes with “11 fresh flowers and one Rose,” the infamous sex toy that is creating waves across social media. DoorDash takes the labor out of delivery with an in app option. And the Self-Love Bouquet campaign is the gift that keeps giving beyond Valentine’s Day: enjoy 40% off any purchase of flowers (up to $25 off) using code 40VDAY** at checkout.
Sagittarius
A Sagittarius is an explorer. They want to see the world and experience new things. They’re vibrant and vivacious with infectious energy. Something that will open up their mind will make a Sagittarius happy. If you can’t plan a trip for them, you can expand their mind with some great artwork. This will let them mentally escape, when they’re at home. We love the colorful and imaginative pieces from Brooklyn artist Kristen Woollery. Each piece represents a part of her own self-discovery while honoring her roots.
