The Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Your Mom Based On Her Zodiac Sign

We're officially in the midst of May, meaning the weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and there's a certain upcoming holiday you can't forget to prepare for. Before you think we're talking about Memorial Day and all your cookout and pool day must-haves, know that we're actually referring to Mother's Day. That's right—the one day a year when moms get to finally experience some recognition for how amazing they are and for all that they do.

If you've forgotten to secure the perfect gift for your mom in advance, don't worry—there's still time to find one and cement your status as the "favorite child" once and for all. To ensure you get your mom the kind of gift she'll truly love, we pulled in a little help from astrology. After all, zodiac signs can say a lot about someone and what they like, so why not use them to give your mom something special? As long as you know your mom's birthday, you can find the perfect gift for her from this list of the best Mother's Day gifts for your mom based on her zodiac sign:

Aries (March 21-April 19)

As the feistiest of fire signs, Aries moms are the ones who are always in the front row, ready to cheer their kids on with passion. That's why we recommend getting them the kind of gift that's as bold and brilliant as they are, like any of these picks:

• These fiery red sunglasses from Otra that are anything but shy: $65
• This Candier candle that speaks volumes and smells downright delightful: $34
• This ultra-sleek Play Henry pickleball paddle for the Aries mom who doesn't play around (unless she's playing pickleball, that is): $125

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus is an earth sign that's somehow known for being both luxurious and lazy. While we'd say they're more relaxed and fond of pampering than anything else, any Taurus mom is still worthy of being celebrated to the max with:

• These ever-so-elevated Famolare sandals handcrafted in reliable factories with renewable components: $168
• This innovative anti-wrinkle HERB + FLORA silk pillowcase that promotes beauty sleep like your mom has never had before: $80
• This waterproof bangle bracelet from BYOU that's as effortlessly stylish as your mom is: $42

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Geminis get a bad reputation for being a bit chaotic, but we think they're just great at finding the fun in everything. This air sign is super adaptable, which makes gifts that strike a balance ideal for Gemini moms. We recommend:

• These gorgeous water-resistant gold hoops from Flaire & Co. that will have your mom seeing double in the best way: $14
• This Coral Crush eyeshadow palette from Catrice with a diverse range of shades to match any Gemini's many moods: $10
• This Nailboo DIY gel nail kit that lets your mom change up her nail look as often as she changes her mind: $80

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Cancers are known for their softness and sentimentality, which is why your Cancer mom is probably always pulling out old photo albums or getting sad when you and your siblings aren't getting along. Show her a little extra love this Mother's Day with extra-special gifts like:

• These vegan-friendly MyKirei by KAO soothing mineral bath soak tablets that promote relaxation and rejuvenation: $12.80
• This deck of Mind Brain Emotion cards that will empower your mom and promote positivity while showing her how grateful you are: $25
• This customizable photo and video book from Heirloom that transports your mom back to her favorite moments whenever she opens it: $49+

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Leos are known for being larger than life, but they're also incredibly loyal, generous and bright as the sun (Leo is the only sign ruled by the sun, after all). They also know their worth, which makes finding the perfect gift a bit tougher for a Leo mom than for one with a sign that's slightly easier to please. Thankfully, you can still ensure that you leave your mom impressed with gifts like:

• This Barbie pink workout set from Emma Lou the Label that's perfect for the Leo mom who rocks athleisure that's anything but basic: $144
  
• This timelessly street chic vegan leather Bernardo jacket that will keep your mom warm (while looking cool) in even the chilliest of weather: $79
• This five-in-one Wavytalk curling wand set to help any Leo keep her hair (mane) styled to perfection at all times: $42.48

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)

If your mom is a Virgo, you may not realize just how lucky you are. Virgos are incredibly hardworking and organized, which means that as mothers, they often focus much of their time helping others rather than focusing on themselves. That's why we suggest the kind of gifts that reward them for all that they do and help them relax, which is exactly what you'll find with:

• This handmade (and mama-made) milky aquamarine luxe necklace from Soulku that helps reduce your Virgo mom's stress: $39
• This mini ban.do notebook that says how your mom is feeling before she can: $12
• This fresh-as-spring Osmosis enzyme mask that will have your mom looking and feeling radiant in no time: $50

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23)

Ruled by Venus, Libra is all about love, beauty and balance. They're often ahead of the latest trends as well, whether it comes to home decor or fashion, so there's hardly a chance of you being able to "borrow" something from your Libra mom's closet without her noticing. It'll be tough not to want to borrow these great gifts:

• This award-winning four-in-one radiant Solawave skincare wand set that will take your mom's skincare routine to the next level: $189
• This timelessly breezy butterfly-sleeve maxi dress from Forever 21: $35
• This Sidney Byron crossbody clutch hybrid that says it all for you: $50

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

It can be difficult to determine exactly what will make a Scorpio's day, especially as this water sign is known for being both mysterious and serious. However, Scorpio is also one of the most loyal signs out there, and they even have a hidden sweet side that comes out to the right people at the right times. You've probably seen this side of your Scorpio mom sneak out before, so make sure you find it again by giving her something along the lines of:

• This chic and sophisticated box of eye-catching, ever-lasting black roses from The Million Roses: $160
• This black cat pizza cutter that's cute enough to make any Scorpio smile: $19.95
• This tough-yet-delicate tides cuff bangle bracelet from Hello Adorn: $74

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Represented by the wild and free centaur, Sagittarius is a fire sign that thrives in chaos and loves a bit of adventure. Sagittarius moms are the kind that hardly ever slow down and are always ready to book the next family trip. Keep your mom grounded this Mother's Day with gifts like:

• This Offero signature patented theft deterrent handbag that's as gorgeous as it is protective (perfect for Sag moms who love to travel): $445
• This Denman detangler brush that works on hair that's wet or dry for touch-ups on the go: $10
• This London-themed color-your-own travel journal from Simon & Schuster that's almost as good as an actual trip across the pond: $17

(via Offero)

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Regarded for their work ethic and go-getter nature, Capricorns are not exactly the "go with the flow" type. Your Capricorn mom is likely the one always making sure you've done your homework, eaten dinner and called your grandma all while she herself probably stayed late at work to finish some projects that no one else could complete efficiently. Give her a much-needed break with the type of gift that works as hard as she does or that makes her life even just a little bit easier. We recommend:

• These versatile must-have drawstring wide-leg pants that are perfect combination of stylish, comfortable and efficient: $10.14
• This hardworking (and rechargeable) Bitvae cordless water flosser: $35
• This portable Pocket Tripod universal kit that's as small as it is useful: $35
• This best-selling KORRES brightening cream that's powered by real natural ingredients and that works its hardest overnight: $50

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarians are lovers of all things that are slightly out of the ordinary, which can make gift shopping for an Aquarius an intricate adventure. It's not impossible to get it right, though, at least when you look for gifts like:

• This whimsical Lolita Lempicka perfume that looks as beautiful as it smells: $42.60
• This uniquely wavy and colorful ban.do rainbow mug: $16.95
• These soft-as-a-cloud Vitality seafoam workout pants that are anything but shy: $92

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Dreamy Pisces may be the last sign of the zodiac, but they surely aren't the least. Known for being in tune with their emotions and having an overtly caring nature, Pisceans appreciate cozy gifts that display some extra sentimentality. Any of these are sure to please your Pisces parent:

• This adorable and original mama Nessie ladle from Ototo that will quickly become your mom's new favorite kitchen utensil: $16.95
• This organic Jade Leaf matcha mix for perfectly sweet, café-style lattes from the comfort of home: $9.95
• This perfectly Pisces koi fish waterproof necklace from Flaire & Co. (pro tip: buy yourself the other side of the duo for a matching moment your mom will love): $25
