16 Best Aquarius Gift Ideas for the Creative and Independent Friend in Your Life
Finding the perfect Aquarius gift idea to celebrate your water bearer bestie will take some work. To truly find something worthy of their creative and eccentric personality, you’ll have to think outside of the box. For us, that means turning to their horoscope and zodiac sign, which is a great way to find some of the best astrology-inspired gifts.
So, we tapped an astrology influencer to help us create the ultimate Aquarius gift guide. “We often find Aquarius folks mulling over an obscure thought, at the front lines of a protest, or in a deep dive into their latest hobby,” says Marissa Malik. “They love watching documentaries or engaging in a debate by answering someone’s question with five more questions. They’re also known as political warriors who aren’t afraid to shift systems of governance and rule without a second thought.”
So what do you gift a teen who’s constantly questioning things and on the lookout for new adventures? Take advantage of their wide interests and select items they can use to build, create, or play around with however they please. Aquarians are generally inventive and independent, so if your best friend enjoys creating vibrant makeup looks, go for a water-activated eyeliner palette or a nail polish set. They’ll be able to create all types of cool designs using their favorite colors. Got a sibling who prefers to keep to themself? A pair of noise-canceling headphones might be your best bet. It’ll help them tune out all distractions, which can keep them feeling peaceful in their own little bubble.
From a cute (affordable) jewelry that proudly brandishes their sign, to a levitating moon lamp that will recreate the look of the night sky right on their ceiling, our gift guide has all the best ideas to impress any Aquarius in your life.
