Aquarians are unpredictable and inconstant; this makes gift-giving tricky. But you’ll never go wrong with technological gadgets that are not necessarily useful, but definitely interesting and unique. What colour is best? Electric blue or anything shocking - like neon colours. The gift need not be personal, though they would still appreciate mementos of friendship such as a photo album or home-made video of some adventure shared. They’d also love gifts they can share with others, such as video games, Wii, or restaurant certificates for a group of 4. If you’re thinking of clothing, stay on the conservative side, as this sign does not necessarily seek to show more skin. They prefer eclectic styles, with a combination of sci-fi and vintage. In fact anything to do with Science fiction or the unconventional would be a hit.

Pisces is usually easy to buy for; just focus on items that touch them emotionally or allow them to escape the harsh realities of life. They are mystical by nature and drawn to anything metaphysical, like the I Ching, Tarot cards, or a box of magical gemstones. They’re attracted to dreamy underwater colours, and especially mauve or purple. Pisces would also love a pampering visit to the spa or a fantasy resort experience, champagne and role-playing included. Or even just bath salts or other bathroom luxuries for her home. They often feel like victims, so consider also encouraging and inspirational posters, books, photos or cards. Or even a book of poetry. Depending on their age, try a gift certificate to the Zoo, or a film about overcoming the injustices of life.

Save this list for next year. Make shopping all year round an easy experience.
