Scorpios are alluring enigmas – or at least they like to be seen that way. In reality, they are one of the most loyal and sensitive signs in the Zodiac. Play into the way they want to be perceived by giving them gifts that help them maintain a sense of mystery. Anything that evokes the sultry, smoky, sensual side of life will appeal to their natural interest in hidden and mystical things.
While they cultivate an air of secrecy and often hide their emotions, they’re also deeply passionate, feeling every emotion with more intensity than most people. Meaningful, intimate gifts go a long way with this sensitive sign. Match their emotional depth and help them feel cared for with gifts that allow them to access a sense of calm amidst their emotional turmoil.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, a planet associated with death and rebirth. This means that Scorpios are capable of profound self-transformation – the alchemists of the Zodiac. Once they put their minds to achieving a goal or reinventing themselves, no obstacle can stop them. If your Scorpio is in the midst of one of these cycles of self-transformation, support them by giving them gifts that help them enter this new era.
Generic gifts won’t cut it with this individualistic sign, so read on for our very specific list of the 12 best gifts to give a Scorpio:

Mysterious Mementos
The easiest way to get the perfect gift for a Scorpio is to lean into the mysterious and/or mystical. If the Scorpio you’re shopping for is on the witchier side, each bottle of Vyrao’s Witchy Woo Eau de Parfum ($190) contains both a supercharged Herkimer diamond crystal energised by healer Louise Mita and an enigmatic scent full of frankincense, black pepper, and thorny rose.
The Baobab Collection Les Prestigieuses Encre de Chine Scented Candle ($145) is a similarly mysterious and alluring scent, inspired by rare Chinese ink. Its beautiful glass vessel appears black in some light, but when lit reveals a beautiful deep red color. Scorpios love hidden, secret things.
Give them a luxurious container for all their most secret thoughts and plans with the Smythson Chelsea Notebook with Slide in Mara Navy Leather ($250). Or keep them in suspense with one of Heywood Hill’s A Year In Books Subscriptions ($234 - $548). Each month, Heywood Hill’s expert booksellers either pick a surprise new paperback release to send to subscribers or select a book custom-tailored to the recipient’s taste. I received this a few years ago as a birthday gift and it remains one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten – imagine how fun it is to receive a beautifully wrapped surprise book every month from London’s most prestigious bookstore!
Tools for Self Transformation
While some earth signs may resist change, as fluid water signs, Scorpios understand the power of transformation. Aid their self-transformation journey with the Wilde House Weekly Planner ($28), which helps set intentions for the coming week while giving space to reflect on the week that just passed.
There’s something very Scorpio about face masks: hiding your expression behind a mask appeals to Scorpio’s desire for privacy and emerging from a treatment with new, radiant skin plays into their desire for rebirth and transformation. The Biologique Recherche Biomagic Mask ($95) helps purify and renew skin with a combination of active antioxidants. Or help them completely conceal their expression while battling dry autumnal skin with the opaque Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber Face Mask with Hyaluronic Acid ($16).
If your Scorpio’s current self-transformation project involves hitting the gym, chances are they’ve gone a little too hard too fast and need help recovering. Scorpios will love that the Hyperboot by Nike x Hyperice ($899) uses targeted heat and Normatec compression to aid in warm up and recovery while making them look like a little bit of a supervillain.
An Oasis at Home
With all of their big emotions swirling around, sometimes the best gift you can give a Scorpio is something to help them feel calm and re-center. Help them re-create the experience of a luxe spa at home with the cozy Quiet Town End Bits Bathrobe in Atlantic ($135) and a pair of luxurious Folkloore Italian Cashmere Socks ($44) in water-sign-friendly blue.
I like giving seasonally-appropriate gifts, so Moon Juice’s Cosmic Cocoa ($44) is the perfect brew for a calming autumnal birthday gift. Or give them the new Raazi Tea Fine Tea Set ($95), a selection of high quality Sencha, Oolong, and Darjeeling teas with a complimentary stainless steel strainer. Raazi has emerged as one of New York’s favorite new tea purveyors for a reason: their teas are wonderfully aromatic and come in beautifully designed packaging.
