Welcome to Sagittarius season!
“Sagittarius, symbolized by the half-human, half-horse Archer, is basically half intellectual, half party animal,” Claire Comstock-Gay, an astrologer (and Sagittarius!) and the author of “Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars,” says. “On the one hand, they’re motivated by a deep desire for knowledge and higher meaning in life; on the other, they’re spontaneous, adventurous and totally fun. This is a sign with a bottomless appetite for new experiences.”
With birthdays from Nov. 22 to Dec. 21, Sagittarians typically prefer spending money on experiences rather than on things, “especially if the experience involves travel,” Comstock-Gay says. “If you want to go big, splurge on a trip,” she suggests. On the other hand, Comstock-Gay points out that the Sagittarian focus on experiences over things means that “they tend to neglect their own physical surroundings a bit! Their birthday is the perfect chance for you to get them the kind of beautiful, cozy or interesting objects that they’ll love, but that they might not think to buy for themselves.”
Ahead, with the help of Comstock-Gay, we’ve picked out some incredible gift ideas to help you celebrate the Sagittarius in your life.
No matter how extensive their athleisure wardrobe may be, the sporty Sag in your life will love a new set to run around in. Opt for something fun and a little unexpected with these disco-inspired leggings that can be paired with a matching bra to complete the look.
Another way to add a lot of sparkle to a Sagittarius birthday celebration is with a sparkly bag like this zippered hobo bag that can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.

Indulge the Sagittarian love of travel by bringing the vacation to them! Hawaiian Host is Hawaii’s No. 1 consumer packaged goods company, so if a trip to the island isn't in the cards, at least they can get a taste of Hawaii.

Because of the Sagittarian love of travel, any travel gifts, including and especially practical ones, will be welcome. In their zest for life and eagerness to get on the road, it is all too common for a Sag to forget something mundane but deeply useful like a universal adapter. Be their hero and buy them one.

"Fire signs, like Sag, can suffer more than most in the darkness of winter!" Comstock-Gay says. "Get your Sag a nice candle or two to keep their spark alive. (Bonus points if you skip the regular old vanilla scents and go for something interesting and unusual.)" A cute lidded candle can provide insta-cozy vibes while traveling, and can be easily packed away once it cools.
