Shopping with the stars
Are you wondering what to buy to make someone in your life happy? The answer may be in the stars.
A Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians are usually very modern and like to receive gifts which are out of the ordinary. It is not a good idea to buy an Aquarian an antique. They will be far more impressed with the latest piece of technology or an up-to-the-minute gadget. They love it when people give them electronic machines or equipment they can use in their unusual hobbies. Almost every Aquarian is an inventor at heart and they love anything connected to the future. If you still need ideas, don't forget that all Aquarians like original, one-of-a-kind items. Why not surprise and delight the Aquarian in your life with a hand-printed shirt, or an interesting piece of modern art.
B Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Pisceans are gentle and sensitive so they are truly happy with any gift you decide to give them. In their eyes, the fact that you remembered to buy them a present is more important than the present itself. However, if you really want to buy a Piscean something which will suit his or her personality, you can be sure that they will be overjoyed to receive theatre tickets, a CD or a video or their favourite film. Every Piscean has an interest in the arts, and most are very creative, so perhaps you could buy them a gift which will help them to express themselves through dance, painting or writing. Pisceans are water signs, so they will also be charmed by an aquarium full of colourful tropical fish.
C Aries (March 21 - April 19)
When it comes to presents, Ariens are like energetic children. They adore receiving lots of gifts, but they are not keen on unwrapping anything practical. Aries people are adventurous and lull of energy, and they want their gifts to reflect that. They are not domestic characters, so it is not a good idea to buy them items for use in the home. If you do have to give them a house-warming present, the safest option is red glassware, as Ariens love the colour red. To truly impress your Arien friends, however, you can do nothing better than offer them eternal fame. How about having their name put on a plaque in a public place? You can be sure they will be thrilled, as all Ariens long to be recognised and remembered.
D Gemini (May 21 • June 21)
Gemini people have very short attention spans, and they lose interest in things extremely quickly. They hate nothing more than boredom. You would be wise to remember this when choosing a gift for your Gemini friends! A game or a craft kit is an excellent idea for a Gemini, as it will keep them entertained and challenge them at the same time. They also love reading, but the book you buy them had better be short and easy to pick up and put down whenever they feel like it! Geminis love to socialise, so two tickets to anything is an ideal present. As most people born under the sign of the twins are rather talkative, they will also be pleased to receive a mobile phone.
E Leo (July 23-August 22)
There is nothing a Leo likes more than receiving gifts. It doesn't even matter that much what the gift is, as long as it is beautifully wrapped and looks special. However, they will not he impressed with jewellery or sparkly trinkets unless they arc the real thing! Leos believe that they deserve the best, and anything less than gold would he an insult to them. The king-like Leo loves to be spoilt, so why not treat them like royalty and hire a limousine for the evening, or arrange for them to be the star guest at a special event or party.
F Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios enjoy playing at being detective, so they will adore the challenge of finding hidden presents or being sent a present in secret. They like to discover new things and solve mysteries, so crime novels and horror stories arc an excellent idea for all ages. Chemistry sets will also please young Scorpios. People born under this sign are keen on life's luxuries, so you can be sure that they will be happy with a gift of exotic perfume or satin sheets. If you buy them something personal, though, be careful not to show how well you know them. Scorpios love to think that they are mysterious!
