Ambitious, hardworking Capricorns are notorious perfectionists, meaning that they can be intimidating to shop for. But they’re also incredibly straightforward and honest, so what you see with a Capricorn is what you get: they won’t have many hidden likes or dislikes. Finding the right present for a Capricorn simply takes tuning into their daily rhythms and seeing where their established routines could use an upgrade.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which represents structure, discipline, and earned wisdom. Their mission in life is to work hard and explore life’s biggest lessons. As such, they often become so focused on their professional and intellectual pursuits that they forget to slow down and take care of themselves. Some of the most thoughtful gifts for Capricorns encourage them to take time to relax and re-ground in the present moment. They might not even realize they needed a break, and will be grateful for the reminder.
As a rule, practical Capricorns appreciate well-made objects that they can use every day. For many Capricorns, this means gifts that will integrate into their already well-structured, work-oriented lives. But practical doesn’t have to mean boring or obvious. Shake up their routines with upgraded, surprising versions of things you know they love and use. Gifts that are useful while injecting their lives with a sense of play will delight them.

Rituals to Unwind
Since Capricorns are so focused on achieving their goals, they can forget to take a moment for some self care. Help them unwind with the gorgeous Cedar & Myrrh Hinoki Bath Salt Gift Set ($38), which includes 5 sachets filled with epsom salts, Mediterranean sea salt, and Hinoki essential oil. The set comes in a beautifully designed box, and pairs nicely with their other scents if you want to build a bath set.
If you want to add a visually striking incense to your Capricorn’s wind down ritual, the Poj Studio Leaf Incense in Hinoki ($36) is stunning. Each ghostly white washi paper leaf is infused with scent, which lingers for an hour after burning. The incense leaves also come in scents like yuzu, moss, cedar, and osmanthus.
The Handcrafted Chocolate 12 Piece Assorted Box ($45) is a perfect little luxury. Give your Capricorn one of these beautiful collections of small batch chocolates and encourage them to indulge. Each bon bon is crafted by hand in chocolatier Lauren’s New Jersey confectionery. The hand painted decorations make them almost too beautiful to eat.
If you’re shopping for a skincare-loving Capricorn, the Mimi Luzon Fresh Face Hyaluronic Super Cream ($190) is one of the most soothing moisturizers I’ve tested this winter. It feels like putting on a cashmere sweater. It’s earned a place on my bedside table as my new favorite part of my relaxing bedtime ritual. A treat!
The New Power Suit
Capricorns are hardworking, ambitious, and committed: once they start a new job or project, they’ll pour themselves into seeing it through. Get them a gift that accentuates their chosen work uniform, like the Normeli Drop Earrings ($220). They’re work-appropriate but unique enough to make an impression. I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten so many compliments on a pair of earrings!
Capricorns need shoes that will be as strong of a workhorse as they are, but that doesn’t mean they want something overly practical or boring. The Franco Sarto Appia Bootie ($215) are both elegant and supportive. The sleek pointed toe and black croc patterned leather make the ankle boots the perfect shoes to wear out to drinks after a long day at work.
If you think they’ll want a bit of a chunkier, lower heel, the M.Gemi Cristina Boots ($448) are absolutely gorgeous. The M.Gemi team shared a sample with me earlier this winter and they’ve quickly become my go-to boot. Capricorns will delight in the carefully considered details: I love the subtle zip at the inside of the ankle and the slightly rounded square toe.
The Gerard Darel Minaelle Coat ($995) is a statement piece worthy of a mover-and-shaker. I’ll never stop singing the praises of my Gerard Darel coat – it’s warm, beautifully made, and timelessly chic. Capricorns appreciate a splurge more than most signs: with birthdays that overlap with the winter holidays, they’re often overlooked.
Cozy Work From Home Essentials
Capricorns spend a lot of time working, which means working from home for a lot of people. Whether you have a home office or have a makeshift WFH nook, a wool carpet can instantly elevate your workspace. I recently discovered that Quince’s rugs are as affordable and high quality as their famous sweaters. The Sullivan Hand Tufted Wool Rug ($40+) would be a great, surprising gift for a Capricorn whose home office is dying for a cozy makeover. It’s 100% wool, and you can tell – it really feels gorgeous underfoot.
A high quality cashmere wrap is another great present for anyone who works from home. They’re cozy, versatile, and easy to store. And as a bonus, they’re also great to bring on a last minute work trip. The Wraps By Tina Ellen Wrap ($298) is a gorgeous double-sided merino/cashmere option with a clever cut out so that you can easily loop the ends of your wrap together.
What’s the perfect sweater to wear to a Zoom meeting? My money’s on the ME+EM Half Zip Jumper ($275). The stretch merino is unbelievably cozy and the half zip collar adds a fun detail. Comfy enough to wear all day around the house, polished enough to wear to a Zoom meeting, plus you can zip it up into a warm turtleneck if you decide to leave the house for a snack break.
The best thing I’ve invested in as someone who works from home is a high quality milk foamer. If your Capricorn loves to have fancy little drinks throughout the day but doesn’t want to spend $20 a day going out for coffee/matcha, a foamer like the Subminimal Nanofoamer PRO ($159) makes it possible to craft barista-quality drinks at home.
