Welcome to Capricorn season! From December 22 to January 21, it’s time to spoil the hard-working sea goat in your life. Known for their down-to-business personalities, these practical-minded earth sign aren’t much for frivolity. As you shop for gifts for a Capricorn, you’ll want to consider something useful and, better yet, high quality (they have great taste!) to ensure your present doesn’t end up collecting dust.
If the Cap in your life prides themselves on crushing their goals, give them a gift that supports their ambitions—and boy, do they have ambitions. (They’re the “GOATs,” or greatest of all time, in whatever they set their mind to do, after all.) Imbued with the strict and serious energy of its ruling planet steely Saturn, and influenced by the 10th house in astrology of career, these classic high-achievers will appreciate items that bring joy to their workspace or help them slay their to-do list.
Of course, it isn’t all work for your beloved Cap—outside business hours, they know how to let loose too. “They have a fun side, it’s just that it has to be scheduled or put into a plan,” says astrologer Patty Kamson. A Capricorn’s idea of fun is shared activities such as puzzles and board games. While Caps aren’t usually associated with family-orientedness, they care deeply about their loved ones (a quality that you can credit to the paternal planet Saturn).
Kamson adds that Capricorns also love “cozy luxuries.” Astrid Bly, astrologer at California Psychics, echoes, “Most earth signs have a touch of materialism to them, so they are often interested in extremely high-quality, intricate, or unique items and activities.” And, more often than not, Capricorns prefer to invest in timeless items like “classic jewelry, everyday cashmere, [or] a great-fitting T-shirt,” according to Alex Caoila, astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc.
“However, price doesn’t have to be a barrier,” says Bly. “Capricorns will also enjoy handmade jewelry or decor for their home. Anything with thought put behind its creation will appeal to this sign’s intentional and mindful nature.” With all these in mind, check out the best gifts for Capricorn, which will be sure to impress this high-achieving zodiac sign.
