Welcome to Aquarius season! Set between the dates of January 20 to February 18, the season is all about positive energy… and the birthdays of your Aquarius loved ones. In fact, Aquarians share birthdays with some of the world’s most iconic celebs—the names FKA Twigs, Harry Styles, Kate Moss, and Alicia Keys are among the few that come to mind—and there is a reason for that. Known for their unwavering authenticity and easy-going temperament, the Aquarius sign marches to the beat of their own drum and lives their life on their own terms.
That’s why it’s so easy to shop for them. In the case of the Aquarian, simply asking, “What would you like for your birthday?”, goes a very long way. More often than not, the upfront personality will give you a straight answer, rather than throwing subtle hints in your general direction. They’ll tell you exactly what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. There is, however, a caveat to this method—namely, sometimes they just don’t know!
In these cases, it’s important to break out the big guns. Gifting holds particular significance to this sign; in their eyes, it is a measure of your intentions and your feelings. A great gift balances practicality with sentimentality, fulfilling both their wants and needs. Unsure of what this means? Fret not: We’ve got you covered. Ahead, find the best beauty gifts for your fellow Aquarian friends and loved ones, from top-of-the-line hair tools to moisture-boosting essentials.
GHD
Glide™ Hair Gift Set, RM795
If there is one way to describe this sign, it’s easy-going. While the average Aquarian always has lofty “big picture” goals on the back burner (read: a five-year plan that they are still yet to stray from), the day-to-day stuff is generally less structured. As a result, they often find themselves rushing out to last-minute plans—something that has taught them a strong appreciation for the practical things in life. Oh, and did we mention that this sign is big on futuristic tech, too?
Treat your Aquarian to the ultimate time-saver, also known as the GHD Hot Brush, which offers efficient and frizz-free styling thanks to it’s top-of-the-line technology. You’re welcome.
