Think of Libras as the ultimate dinner party hosts: social, welcoming, diplomatic, and guaranteed to craft a beautiful tablescape. The sign is ruled by Venus, the planet of sensuality and beauty, which makes them especially appreciative of well-designed objects. They’re visually represented by The Scales, symbolizing their fair-minded and inclusive nature. They listen closely and with an open mind, making them instinctive diplomats and peace-keepers. As Venus-ruled air signs, Libras are both naturally communicative and romantic at heart. All of this makes Libras excellent friends and partners – and especially deserving of a beautiful, thoughtful gift.
But before you take their diplomatic and relaxed nature as license to coast when choosing a gift, a word of warning: Libras may seem easygoing, but they’re actually one of the hardest signs in the Zodiac to buy gifts for. Their admirable peacemaking tendencies make them notorious people-pleasers, so it can be difficult to suss out whether they honestly like a gift. Combine that with their exacting aesthetic tastes, and you get a surprisingly tricky group. But fear not – we’ve cracked the code. Gifting for Libras is all about indulging their appreciation for luxurious, beautifully-designed objects with their passion for bringing people together for group experiences.
I’m lucky to have a lot of Libras in my life, so this is a tried-and-true, extensively tested list. Read on for my guide to the 12 best gifts to give a Libra:
Listening Party

Libras are known to be good listeners as well as lovers of beautifully designed objects (the sign is ruled by Venus after all). Whether they’re listening to records alone or throwing on an LP to soundtrack a dinner party, a turntable set up is an excellent Libra gift. If you’re looking to spoil your Libra, I’d recommend getting them the Sonos Essential Turntable Set ($652). The beautifully-designed set is essentially an upgraded plug-and-play system – all you need to connect the set’s Pro-ject T1 Phono SB Turntable to the Era 100 Speaker is a standard aux cable, which you can easily order online.
Aesthetically-attuned Libras appreciate the beauty of a well-designed record cover, so you could pair their new turntable system with a cute “now playing” vinyl display stand. This sleek model from Selektor ($40) can be freestanding or wall-mounted. I also recently tested the Sonos Roam 2 Portable Smart Speaker ($179), which would also make a great gift for a music-loving Libra if you’re looking to spend under $200. Its quality is impressive for its small size and I love that it can be used as a portable speaker on its own or integrated into a larger Sonos system. If your Libra is more of a headphones person, Apple just launched the Airpods Pro 3 ($249), whose stunning new Live Translation tech was just profiled in the New York Times – the perfect gift for an ultra-communicative air sign.
Great Entertainers

Libras are natural hosts who love bringing eclectic groups of people together in beautiful environments, so aesthetically-pleasing entertaining gifts are a must. Atelier Saucier’s Mix-And-Match Chroma Napkins (Set of 6) ($128) are made from high quality linen and feature a range of colors that reflect Libra’s eclectic social tastes. Jonathan Anderson (fashion’s busiest man) has recently re-launched his namesake brand JW Anderson with a range of beautifully-curated home goods. Anderson, a longtime champion of Irish and British ceramics, collaborated with Irish ceramics studio Nicholas Mosse on a range of unique, hand-crafted ceramics for the home. I particularly love the Nicholas Mosse Serving Plate ($135), which would make a perfect gift for any Libra who loves to host.
If you want a serving tray with a sleeker look, the beautifully-crafted Christofle Graphik Silver Plated Tray ($420) is perfect for serving coffee or using as a trinket tray. I’ve also got my eye on the Christofle Babylone Small Silver Plated Bowl ($565), which rests on a striking braided silver base.
Balanced Fragrances

Libras are famously balanced, represented in the Zodiac by the scales. Accordingly, they love subtle, balanced scents like the Carrière Frères Tea Plant Candle ($69), which combines woody aromatics with subtle sweetness. The Loewe Verbena Outdoor Candle ($275) is similarly well-balanced and comes in a beautifully-crafted ceramic vessel.
Given Libras’ people-pleasing tendencies, it can be difficult for them to speak up when they don’t like a gifted scent. You can avoid that issue by giving them options: a perfume discovery set like the Liberty Scent With Love Kit ($145) features 12 travel and full size perfumes from luxury brands like Comme Des Garçons, Ex Nihilio, and Liberty’s own LBTY fragrance label. Or you could opt for a Zodiac specific sampler like the Scentbird Air Sign Discovery Set ($25).
