Though Mercury will be in retrograde for much of holiday shopping season (beware, Dec. 3 through 23!), don't be afraid — there's a way to make such purchases drama-free. Since you plan everything from your career path to your love life around the zodiac calendar, you can take the same approach for gifting this year.
Ahead, we've found what you should get everyone on your list, according to their birthday. Read on to see what the stars say you should shop.
Aquarius
If your progressive Aquarius friend attends protests and rallies every other weekend, reward your favorite humanitarian with a socially-minded gift she'll really love. Founded by a father who wanted to empower his young daughter, RealHer is a beauty brand that sells makeup in feminist packaging. We love the Lip Kits ($48), which come embossed with affirmations such as "I Am a Fighter," and "I Am Tough."
Pisces
Your homebody Pisces friend is known for taking three-hour-long naps and forgoing happy hour for bedtime, so enable her laziness with a product that works while she sleeps. This Sarah Chapman Sunday Night Facial ($89) is a luxe collection that includes a creamy cleanser, hydrating mask, exfoliator, and yes, night cream that will make a Pisces pretty while she snores.
Aries
Your Aries friend prioritizes comfort and was probably a legging-lover long before athleisurewear was a thing, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to reap the more glamorous rewards of a beauty routine. Luckily, Commodity Gold ($105) is a no-brainer fragrance that will make her smell crazy-fancy every day. And considering this warm perfume contains notes of universally popular scents such as amber, vanilla, and musk, most everyone — even girls with super sensitive noses — loves it.
Taurus
Strong, headstrong, determined — you know the drill with Tauruses. After she comes home from a long, hard day of being an absolute boss, she needs a luxe body cream to wind down with. Look no further than Oribe Côte d'Azur Restorative Body Crème ($65) to do the trick. Made with almond, shea butter, olive, and jojoba oil, this creamy indulgence will smooth and prep skin so your stubborn little star can have a moment of me time.
Gemini
Geminis are the talkers of the zodiac, so chances are your friend really, really loves it when strangers come up and ask about her makeup look. That's why you should gift her the Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duo in Lola ($25), a liquid glitter lippie that racks in the compliments like nobody's business. When she really wants to party, she can smear on the super-pigmented shimmer shade, but its twin metallic bronze hue is also subdued enough to wear on casual Friday.
Cancer
Truth be told, anyone, no matter their birth date, would treasure this celestial Dipyque Forét Givrée Scented Candle ($70), which gives the unicorn trend a chic upgrade. But we think it's especially perfect for Cancers, as the sign is known for being artful and imaginative. Plus, it smells like fir needles, wood, and mint, which will remind the sign of its favorite place Earth — nature.
Leo
Since Leos are some of the most extra people around, gift your out-there friend the physical embodiment of her sparkling pink soul with this Sisley L'Orchidée Blush Highlighter ($110). Three pearlescent, light-reflecting colors live in this compact, which Leos can swipe on to shine something fierce. It doesn't hurt that the butterfly design of the pan is worthy of Barbie's Dream House vanity.
Virgo
Can we all just agree that Virgos are some of the best people out there? They're loyal, kind, hardworking, and love animals (which means they're the saints that flood our Instagram feeds with adorable puppy pictures). Virgos truly deserve all the TLC we can give, so that's why we suggest this Herbivore Rose Quartz Facial Roller ($45, pre-order for Nov. 21). This tool utilizes the trendy stone to ease tension, calm, and soothe skin. If the Virgo you love has any unwanted puffiness or redness on her face (such as those pesky undereye circles!) this roller helps to improve blood circulation and kick that pigmentation to the curb.
Libra
Libras are queens of living a no-fuss, lowkey lifestyle, and this Kora Organics Noni Glow Body Balm ($34) is the perfect vessel for a subtle, but sexy highlight. At first glance, your friend might mistake this stick for a deodorant, but don't let her spread it under her pits. Instead, tell her to swipe it on her arms and legs for an effortless glow that won't quit. It's a must for party season, as it makes legs look firm, toned, and quite frankly, gosh darn amazing.
Scorpio
Cool, calm, and fierce, Scorpios are known for having their sh*t together. But even a composed goddess needs a touch-up every once and a while. So gift her a purse-friendly, mini Huda Beauty Obsessions Eye Shadow Palette in Warm Brown ($27), a brand new nine-pan bundle she can stash wherever, whenever she needs to glow-up on the fly.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius love the outdoors, so we're sure that your friend keeps a sunscreen stashed in her travel bag. But we doubt she'd treat herself to this ultra-luxurious Clé de Peau Beauté Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ ($80), which is why you should sneak it under her Christmas tree.
Capricorn
Capricorns are a generally responsible bunch, so your friend might be "that girl" who's always lugging around a clunky waterbottle to ensure she gets her daily eight ounces of hydration. But does she give her face the same caring treatment? If not, take the holidays as an opportunity to give her this H20+ Beauty Drink It Up Oasis Mini Favorites Set ($23), which hydrates skin just in time for Winter.
