What To Get Your BFF For The Holidays, Based, On Their Zodiac Sign

Finding the perfect gift for your bestie is hard. So instead of stressing out over it, this year just refer to their astrological sign to find the most cosmically appropriate gift there is. Yes, I'm really suggesting gift ideas for your best friend based on their zodiac sign — it's essentially letting the universe choose the gift. And if you tell your bestie you picked their gift based off their sign, they're bound to love the gift — who wants to disagree with the universe?

Shopping for someone you love is hard. You want to get them something that will make them feel good, something that they'll actually use and appreciate, and also something that's personal — and that's a lot of criteria. So much so, it makes the entire gift shopping process seriously overwhelming. So don't start out your holiday shopping marathon with a vague goal. Narrow it down by using your best friend's sign to guide you. Each sign has some pretty obvious personality traits, and you'll surely know which ones your bestie possesses. Use that trait to help you pick a gift, or check out this list of zodiac driven gifts that cater to each sign's most powerful traits:

Aries

Urban Outfitters

12-Piece Electroplated Flatware, $69, Urban Outfitters

If there's anyone whose going to pull off a metallic, rainbow flatware set, it's your Aries bestie. She's bold, she's bright, she loves entertaining, and she's psyched about anything funky.

Pisces

One of the lesser-known attributes of the Pisces is that they love to be home. While they're very creative and love to explore, their happiest place is at home. So get them this homesick candle to remind them of their favorite place.
