astrological gift guide

when i started thinking about creating a holiday lookbook this year, i realized that i was more excited about the idea of gifting year-round, and when i think about gifts for my dear ones, i usually am crafting something specific based on their key personality traits. so what better plan for gifting than to organize by their signs?!

this gift guide is organized irrespective of holidays or gifting occasion, so whether you’re looking for a pick-me-up for a dear one, celebrating a life milestone, or exchanging gifts around a meaningful holiday, this guide will have something for you (and them)! it’s also arranged by price point so that you can make decisions based on your budget (and potentially relationship) - up to $50, from $50-100, and $150+. they feature products, patterns, courses, and even community (in that case, i recommend grabbing your dear one a gift card so they can use their own login info).

depending on how well you know your recipient’s birth chart, you can opt for one of the big 3 (after all, we know i love a good moon sign), or go for something a little more nuanced (anniversary gifts based on a venus sign, perhaps?). keep scrolling to find the goodies recommended for each sign.

aries

aries a

let’s be honest here, aries are the OG #bosswitch (don’t tell the other signs), and their priorities will always be their passions. so you should probably get them a willow enamel pin, because c’mon, our fur babies are always our main priority!

aries b

the aries in your life might not be the absolute best at taking care of themself... help them out with a jar of knitter’s joint salve, high quality tools, and some fresh dark roast (that last one might be for the whole family...morning people, eh?).

aries c

help the aries #bosswitch in your life make their dreams a reality - sign them up for the creative coven online design course! they’ll be on their way to running their own creative biz. you can grab them some extra tools if they need as well.

taurus

taurus a

taurus are grounded, and maybe a little stubborn sometimes. give them a morning boost with some fresh coffee beans.

taurus b

spend some extra time connecting with your taurus through the magic of natural dyeing - the colours of nature and natural dyeing as practice will give a good foundation on studying local and international colour palettes.

taurus c

keep those hooves cozy with the ultimate socks bundle - a collection of sock patterns, enough sock yarn to knit all those new patterns, and a pair of blockers and sock soap bar to block and clean those babies once they’re off the needles.

gemini

gemini a

geminis can be social butterflies, so get them signed up for a few months of the creative coven community and they’ll be able to enjoy connecting online with like-minded fibre witches and makers!

gemini b

when in doubt, grab your gemini a rainbow of mini skeins like taproots or sapling to play around with until the next great idea sparks forth!

gemini c

ok, ok, ok. sometimes it’s just really hard to buy for a gemini, right? grab them a gift card (available in increments up to $500) so they can pick the perfect gift based on their own current fancies.

cancer

cancer a

cancers can be sensitive sweet peas, so gift them a jar of knitter’s joint salt soak and they’ll be able to rest their weary shells in a hot healing bath.

cancer b

sometimes we need more than the occasional hot bath for sore sensitive bodies - get them an 8oz bottle knitter’s joint massage oil. depending on your relationship, you can choose to offer your cancer an accompanying massage or not.

cancer c

give your cancer the gift of cozy armour - grab a sweater’s worth of yarn and either gift it as is or take a chance on the sweater curse (you’ve probably already decided whether they’re knit-worthy or not, right?).

leo

leo a

help the leo in your life put their best face forward - give them a tin of hedgewitch lip balm.

leo b

show off that metaphorical lion’s mane by grabbing a couple skeins of roots fingering in their favourite colour and a copy of the leo pattern to knit the perfect shawl!

leo c

get those leo paws sorted with a week’s worth of handknit socks - all-natural sock yarn will keep that extra heat regulated and an annual sock collection will give plenty of options for looking fancy af right down to their toes!

virgo

virgo a

chances are good that the virgos in your life are more attuned to natural rhythms than most of your humans, and they probably operate on a gentler (and still very strong) frequency. grab them a natural dye plant poster to adorn their home.

virgo b

ground some herbal knowledge with beautifully photographed and researched books that connect your virgo with the power of plants (and bugs).  

virgo c

treat the virgo in your life to the magic of creating colour from their local plant palette - sign them up for natural dyeing 101! maybe you’ll even receive a gift featuring their new skills in the not-so-distant future...

libra

libra a

libras aren’t always the best at staying in balance, although they might try to maintain that equalibrium in their relationships. grab them a bag of willow’s blend herbal tea to help them unwind and recentre. 

libra b

it takes a lot of pressure to maintain balance all the time - let the joint joy kit take some of the weight off your libra and recalibrate stressed out muscles and bones.

libra c

help your libra stay in perfect equalibrium with the complete sunflower knit print library.

scorpio

scorpio a

perhaps it’s a bit on the nose, but really, even if they’re not showing it on the surface you know the scorpios in your life are roiling underneath much of the time. gift them a hot bath with a relaxing salt soak to replenish. 

scorpio b

ritual can be sacred, and it can also be mundane. let your scorpio choose what they want theirs to be with the help of cwtch and its recipes and patterns.

scorpio c

embody the power and endurance of a fixed sign with a colourwork fingering weight sweater - grab a sweater’s lot of roots and some complementary skeins of taproots for soft armour.

sagittarius

sagittarius a

sagittarius are adventurous souls, so grab them a care package to help when they’re on the go - a bar of all-purpose soap, small jars of healing and knitter’s joint salves, and a tin of lip balm will serve them well!

sagittarius b

the creativity and optimism of a sagittarius knows no bounds! grab them a bouquet of taproots mini skeins to play and innovate.

sagittarius c

do you know anyone who loves to learn more than a sagittarius? give them the gift of continuous learning with an online course that they can study (ahem, binge) at their own pace. 

capricorn

capricorn a

capricorns are incredibly practical souls, so a well-curated notions case will please any goat-led fibre artist.

capricorn b

fill out your capricorn’s tool chest with a notions case complete with high-quality tools, magical stitch markers, and a square gauge ruler.

capricorn c

gift your capricorn everything they need - a sweater’s worth of yarn, blocking wires, and a pattern to add to their slow fashion wardrobe.

aquarius

aquarius a

air signs like aquarius can occasionally be swayed by some of the more intense signs (cough cough, aries and taurus), so gift them with some herbal tea to reduce the overwhelm and stay grounded in their own truths. 

aquarius b

aquarius love to step to the beat of their own drum, so give them the gift of the creative coven community and its 24/7 creative coven challenge  - they’ll swatch out those unique ideas and connect with like-minded knitters while they’re at it!

aquarius c

aquarius can really embody #bosswitch mode, don’t you think? gift them the power to be their own boss with the creative coven online design course (and toss in a square gauge ruler so they can enjoy taking perfect gauge measurements).

pisces

pisces a

pisces are the most sensitive of the zodiac (and dear to my own heart). gift them some calming herbal tea to help settle their nervous system as needed.

pisces b

pisces will often take care of others and forget about themselves - remind them about the importance of self-care with a joint joy kit and salt soak.

pisces c

the magic of a pisces runs deep! gift them the magic of a protective shawl with a copy of cwtch, 4 skeins of pasture dk to knit any of the shawls in the book, and blocking wires for the perfect finishing touch.
