Hi guysWhat planet/house rules what you enjoy receiving as a gift and what rules what kind of gifts you buy? I am guessing Sun sign or venus, but as both mine are in Sagittarius, it's hard to tell the difference really? I enjoy receiving plane tickets, experiences, beautiful coffee table books, floral/fruity perfumes.. jewellery - big big jewelery fetishist here IP: Logged |

Aquarius with a Capricorn Venus. I like any gift but its more special when people pay attention to the things i like. I really like books and perfumes. It could also be something about a memory we shared so that its meaningful. IP: Logged |

Of course, you may also want to look at what you have in the 2nd house.. Even if you don't have any planets there, and are just looking at the house cusp signIP: Logged |

Personally, I enjoy things that are made by the other person the most. To me, if someone gives me something THEY made, that really means a lot to me. Of course, for me, I'd like gifts like crystals, incense, candles... Aaaand.. Fresh fruit!!! LMAO. Now that I've started getting into Tarot, I think I could appreciate being given new decks lol.. And, any other types of 'esoteric' items.. (I would consider candles, crystals, and incense as part of that category) hmmm.. I guess I wouldn't mind receiving herbs as gifts, if the person knew which ones I usually take, and the ones I like.. (8th house Taurus sun, with Scorpio on the second house cusp.. Also have Pluto in the 2nd house..) But.. As I said.. Anything MADE by the person themselves is more than likely going to be cherished quite a bit. Ooo.. I'd probably also REALLY enjoy antiques.. But, I haven't gotten many of those as presents.. Oh.. Oh.. And MUSIC!!! > : D regardless of if it is an iTunes gift card, or albums.. However, if someone gave me an album from a favorite band, that I don't have a physical copy of, I would totally freak out (in a good way.. Lol) I would REALLY like getting vinyls, but I don't have a record player as of now, sadly. IP: Logged |

That's exactly how I give a gift lolol. So if I knew you long enough, you'd prolly really enjoy any gift I give you. I always try to figure out exactly what the person likes, anything we share, etc. Sometimes I'm on the edge between something that just holds a memory, or something that shares something between us, but can be of practical use, etc. vedic 4th house Leo Sun/3rd House Cancer Venus Tropical 5th house Virgo sun / 4th house Leo Venus Venus also conjuncts my IC, and trines my Moon.

Yes!! it just makes it special. Any gift that holds a meaning is nice. And you can switch it up from time to time What gifts do you like to receive?

Taurus anything is all about earthy pleasures. Good food and sex lolCapps placements appreciate valuable things. Cancer likes emotional values so especially vintage stuff. I think the Venus position says a lot. Aqua influences like a little quirk.
Scorpio placements do better with something not generic. Pretty much, everyone wants something tailoring to their taste. I typically don't know what to buy for my Virgo stellium mother so I just ask her and I buy exactly what she wants. I think earthy ppl don't care too much about the surprise elements. Moon signs matter a lot too as its where ppl feel nurtured IP: Logged |

Yeah, it definitely makes the gift more thoughtful, gives the person a "deeper" smile, shows that you actually care. And yeah, I switch it up depending on what's going on. If there's nothing person A needs at the time, then something less practical but meaningful still. I like to receive gifts in any way it can come - it could be noticing the little things I do, to buying me a chocolate bar, er, buying me a warehouse of chocolate bars* (did you want the link to the ones I buy??? haha:P), watching a sunset, supporting me in some way, or working together to help me get something done (KEYWORD WORKING TOGETHER!), intimacy (if I had a significant other), kindness.... I guess all of this is similar to you, in that its special lol. It's a little hard to describe exactly what I want... You can see my Taurus ASC shining there:P IP: Logged |

This Sag-ruled chick likes crystals, flowers, psychedelics, art supplies (even random buckets of glitter), and of course good music!

Aww, really ? Would you actually mind if someone gave you a similar type of handmade gift twice in a row, or do you think it would just ruin the surprise ? Just curious. IP: Logged | |
