Happy Aquarius season! Free-spirited, friendly Aquarians are known for their unique, independent and inquisitive outlook on life. Creative, kindhearted, wonderfully inventive Aquarians are a joy to shop for.
"People born under the zodiac sign of Aquarius are natural innovators and future thinkers," says astrologer Babs Cheung. "As the third and final air element, they are gifted with a deep compassion for humanity at large and want to make meaningful impacts on the world. Aquarius people often have issues fitting in because of their different way of thinking and usually prefer to embrace their uniqueness rather than dulling themselves to fit in. As a result, they live their lives fully embodied, following their own unique path and making like-minded friends along the way."
With birthdays from Jan. 20 to Feb. 18, the sign of Aquarius rules technology, space, astrology and the human collective. They'll appreciate thoughtful, surprising gifts and will especially love presents that support a small or local business or that give back in some way.
Ahead, with the help of Cheung and other experts, we rounded up the best gift ideas for the Aquarius in your life.
As one of the most community-oriented signs, Aquarians are likely to be aware of their carbon footprint and concerned with making considered decisions about their purchases, like investing in a smart notebook instead of a paper journal.
When buying anything for an Aquarius, it's important to consider its origins. Look for organic and fair trade products, like Explorer's cold brew and flavored syrup bundle that also have a charitable element to them, especially relating to the Aquarian element of water — a portion of Explorer's sales goes to charity: water, the world's leading clean water organization.
"For the Aquarian in your life, both low-tech and high-tech gifts can ignite their innovative spirit," says Cheung. "Instant cameras, disposable cameras or eco-friendly options like Paper Shoot cameras enthrall their inventive mind."
Of all the zodiac signs, Aquarians are among the most likely to show an interest in astrology. Indulge their interests in the planets with a copy of "Llewellyn's Daily Planetary Guide," which is perfect for tracking what the planets are up to.
"For experiential gifts, think outside the box," says Cheung. "Treat them to an offbeat, quirky hole-in-the-wall or an exclusive city tour. Embrace their social nature by arranging a unique party at an escape room or spy-camp."
"High-tech gadgets also captivate them," says Cheung, "provided it aligns with their interests. Consider brain-sharpening apps or subscriptions to niche magazines as thoughtful options." For the Aquarian who could use a great night's sleep, the Dodow Sleep Aid Device makes a thoughtful gift.
"Aquarians excel at networking unintentionally, effortlessly connecting with diverse groups," says Cheung. "Consider a Dot.card or an eco-friendly electronic business card — ideal for their business-oriented or connector persona, offering effective networking while staying environmentally conscious."

A neon sign in the shape of the water bearer's symbol is a great gift for the Aquarian who loves to make a statement.
"Since every Aquarius is different, you'll want to really curate their gifts based on their specific niche, interests or social causes," says Cheung. "Activism is another trait that comes to mind when thinking of Aquarius. Whether it's volunteering time with your favorite Aquarius person on a cause they care about or committing to their birthday fundraiser, this would be the ideal first option."
Because of their cerebral side, Stardust says that Aquarians will enjoy gifts "that help them come to their own clarity and understanding." Meditation tools, like these sound bowls, can help to do just that.

Aquarians typically have a spiritual bent and an affinity for alternative religions and spiritual practices, and you'll see that theme in products that are designed with this sign in mind, like Magic Hour's Aquarius Visionary Goddess tea blend.
As a fixed air sign, Aquarians "are known for independent and unique thought, as those who think far outside of the box and somehow remain simultaneously of service to their community and also maintain their own opinions and beliefs," says Stardust. Clothes and accessories that bear a social message while also looking cool are a great way to play to that trait.
Anything that is a little unusual is likely to be a big hit with quirky Aquarians, like this set of pretty glass spoons.

There's a scene in the musical "Mrs. Doubtfire" in which things go comedically awry for young Christopher Hillard at his birthday party. But everything's going right for Orlando actor Axel Bernard Rimmele, who plays Chris in the national tour of the Broadway musical. "I actually got to celebrate my birthday onstage," says Axel, who turned 12 on a day he performed in the touring production, which stops at Orlando's Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts from April 23-28. "It was really cool." "Cool" seems like an understatement for the career trajectory of the sixth-grader, who already made a mark on the Central Florida theater scene before heading out on the road with "Mrs. Doubtfire," the musical comedy based on the hit Robin Williams-Sally Field film. You may have caught him cheerfully picking a pocket or two as the Artful Dodger in the musical "Oliver" at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in southw
As the "first family of goth," The Addams Family was created by cartoonist Charles "Chas" Addams as an inversion to the "ideal" American Dream. The characters premiered in a 1938 cartoon strip in The New Yorker . The family includes parents Gomez and Morticia, children Wednesday and Pugsley, in-house workers, and extended family members Thing, Grandmama, Cousin Itt, Uncle Fester, and Lurch. A TV show featuring the mysterious and spooky clan first aired in 1964, and their popularity has only continued to grow. The family's resonance with multiple generations of fans is evident in the multimedia adaptations popping up almost every decade. Each one adds something new to the Addams Family heritage while keeping in line with the lowbrow satire of the manicured lawn and white picket fence Addams captured in his original cartoon strips. Read on to see how we've ranked all The Addams Family adaptations, including animated and live-action, TV an
In Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears A Who! , Horton is the only one who can hear Whoville, a minuscule town on a speck of dust. Horton vows to protect the speck, declaring, "A person's a person, no matter how small." In this way, this popular children's book promotes a lesson of equality—one that Dr. Seuss himself had to learn. UCSD Libraries From 1941-1943, Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, drew over 400 political cartoons for the newspaper PM . Among them were racist portrayals of Japanese people with slant-eyes, pig-noses, and coke-bottle glasses. When readers complained about these depictions, Dr. Seuss wrote back saying, "But right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and warble: 'Brothers!' It is a rather flabby battlecry. If we want to win, we've got to kill Japs...We can get palsy-walsy afterward with those that are left." You can view Dr. Seuss&
Zendaya was already famous when she first auditioned for the Spider-Man franchise — but not to the movie's producers. In Vogue 's new cover story featuring the multi-hyphenate star, 27, Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal admitted to the outlet that "neither [Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige] nor I knew who she was" when Zendaya initially auditioned to play MJ in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming . "She was wearing no makeup and she was just dressed like a regular girl, and we were like, 'Oh my God, she's amazing. She has to be in the movie,' " said Pascal, who has produced the three Spider-Man films starring Zendaya's boyfriend, Tom Holland. "And then we found out she was a totally famous person, and felt really stupid." The actress and singer, of course, started acting on the Disney Channel in 2010 on the series Shake It Up. She later appeared on season 16 of Dancing with the Stars and was tapped to sta
WB's multi-franchise fighting game, MultiVersus , returns later this month and it's adding Batman's archnemesis, The Joker, to the game's large roster of characters. And the iconic character is once again being voiced by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. Tears Of The Kingdom's Newspaper Questline And The State Of Hyrulean Journalism Off English In 2022, dataminers found audio files inside the original MultiVersus beta— which ended in 2023 —that seemed to hint that DC's famous clown prince of crime, The Joker, was going to be added to the game in a future update. More excitingly, the villain was seemingly voiced by Hamill, who famously voiced the clown prince of crime in Batman: The Animated Series and the Arkham games, among other places. WB Games confirmed in a press release that Hamill is voicing The Joker. In the trailer we see Batman, voiced by the late Kevin Conroy , walking through a green mist, passing by other WB-owned characters like Bugs
