So you’re not sure what to get your landlady for Xmas? Or your nephew, the one who barely says a word? Or you’re seeking the perfect gift for your new girlfriend?

Why not let the stars influence your choices this holiday season? Check out this handy little guide to learn what would thrill and delight the fiery Aries, flashy Leo or discriminating Virgo on your list.

There will never be any mystery as to what Aries wants, they’ll announce it loud and clear. But if you want to surprise them, focus on gifts that cater to their active lifestyle; such as tickets for something to do, or somewhere to go. They love things that give them shortcuts and valuable is any gift that took you time to procure, such as hard-to-get tickets to a concert or sports event. They’re probably athletic too, so why not get them some apparel or equipment to play their favorite sport. Not sure of colour? Go for any shade of red. Avoid reading materials unless they’re e-books for their tablet. Buying for the home? Try objects that shiny or metallic, like a flashy mirror or kitschy disco ball.

Taurus appreciates any gift that appeals to his or her sensual side. Massage would be a big winner. Or try something food-related like a box of high-end gourmet chocolates, truffle oil, or an evening at their favorite restaurant. They also love soft materials; like cashmere sweaters or blankets, Egyptian cotton sheets or Persian scarves or rugs. You can’t go wrong with a high-end gift; they recognize quality and deeply appreciate it, though it doesn’t necessarily require a famous brand name. Wondering about colour? Go with tasteful subtle shades, including beige, brown, olive green or pastels. They might also enjoy a gift certificate to spend in their favorite luxury boutique. Remember, quality is more important than quantity for Taurus. They like things to last.

When buying for Gemini, always consider their sizable intellect and tendency to bore quickly. A challenging book is always welcome, especially if it contains some puzzle or provides mental exercise. Being the first to get information and share it makes them very happy. How about a PDA to store their contacts and help them organize? A subscription to a magazine or satellite radio show might also be good if you know their interests. They love technology; iphones, tablets or the latest laptop - they live on the cutting edge. Don’t fret if they seem to have everything, because this sign likes to have at least 2 of each. If they write, and many Gemini’s do, consider a special personalized journal or modern fountain pen, depending on their age. Or tickets to travel somewhere, if only for a weekend.
