8 Types of Gifts Any Aries Will LOVE

Today, March 21, marks the official start of Aries season. It lasts until April 19, which means that if you're not already thinking about how to celebrate the Aries in your life for their upcoming birthdays, it's time to start now.

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries have a reputation for being active, impulsive and bold. They're outgoing and friendly, despite their quick tempers, and are rarely afraid to jump to any challenge and embark on exciting new endeavors. In case you're struggling to come up with the perfect gift, these traits can give you some hints. Below, we've shared a few gift categories that any Aries will be able to appreciate.

Sporty Gear

If there's one sign of the zodiac that has a reputation for being athletic, it's Aries, so chances are that the person you're shopping for has at least one favorite sporty activity. In this case, it's a good idea to avoid the surprise gift and actually have a conversation with the recipient to find out what they want and need in these areas. Start with what you already know about their hobbies and work from there. What would be helpful for enhancing their love of what they're already doing? The gift could wind up being a high-end basketball, a slick new workout outfit, nice sneakers, an insulated water bottle they can bring to the gym or anything in between.

 

A Thrill-Seeking Experience

Fearless Aries are also known for being daredevils. If you've got a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie in your life, consider gifting them an adventurous experience, like skydiving, bungee jumping or off-road RVing. Perhaps you want to try something slightly tamer but still active, like an indoor skydive experience or even a visit to the trampoline park. Whatever the case, they'll probably get an even bigger kick out of the gift if you also decide to also join in on the fun.

A Foodie Adventure

Aries are risk-takers, and when it comes to food, they're willing to try anything once. Any Aries foodie will appreciate a more unexpected culinary gift, whether that's a visit to a food festival together or a gift card to eat something exotic or unusual. Maybe you both want to test your heat tolerance munching on spicy wings, or share a meal a hibachi grill or Korean barbecue place, combining Aries' love of food and togetherness with their ruling element, fire.

 

Anything Caffeinated

It can take a lot of work—and caffeine—to stay as energized and passionate as your average Aries, and a little help in that department doesn't hurt. While some Aries are avid drinkers of their favorite energy drinks, teas and sodas, we find that most of them find their daily pep in the form of coffee (which happens to make for an excellent gift). Whether you share your favorite delicious roast with them or the syrups, powders and creamers you swear by, they'll appreciate the personal touch. Plus, you can never go wrong with a big gift card to their favorite local coffee shop.

A Multiplayer Game

Most Aries are competitive by nature, which has its pros and cons. They love a good challenge, which is why we recommend gifting them a multiplayer game that pits them against others, allowing them to channel this passion and aggression in a healthy way. If they're a sports megafan, that makes picking the game easy, but otherwise, you can look at getting them a season pass for whatever battle royale game is currently trending, and joining them for the occasional round.

Tickets to a High-Octane Event

Live events are great for making memories that last a lifetime, and chances are that Aries will prefer something high-octane that gets the blood pumping. The most obvious choice is a sports game, but this can also include things like motorcycle or monster truck rallies, or even dance and circus performances, depending on the person. They love to see physical feats and anything that demonstrates a specialized prowess—especially when it gives them someone or something to root for.

 

A Survival Kit

Confident Aries tend to fancy themselves as people who'd survive and thrive in a disaster. Survival kits are in an unusual category because they can be jokey or vital, depending on the circumstances, but really anyone can use some non-perishable food, clean water, a first aid kit and flashlight, just in case. You may also want to gift them a book on survival skills, so they can learn about making a shelter and campfire when they've got nothing else to depend on. Solar-powered phone chargers also make for cool gifts.

Soothing Self-Care Goodies

All of that said, most Aries could stand to slow down and embrace a sense of calm every once in a while. For the Aries that could use a break from the hustle and bustle, we suggest soothing self-care items. This can include everything from aromatherapeutic candles and luxurious bath products to sheet masks, weighted blankets or even a subscription to a meditation app. Try planning an unplugged self-care day with them to show them what it's all about.
