Taurus Gift Guide: The Best Gifts For Birthdays This Month According To The Stars

Because They Like Beauty, Afterall

Not to bring myself up again as a Virgo… but us Earth signs savor a good routine that is organized, predictable, and predictably project managed. “What do you mean you play your morning by ear?!” we all cry out.

However, although fixed in their ways, Taureans strike a really incredible balance (“balance” being the operative word) between fun, playfulness, and established order—especially when it comes to their beauty regimens. So, why not curate a head-to-toe self-care ritual for our most loyal supporters? After all, if they don’t put their (face) masks on first, how can they make sure we’re surviving?

Given body care is becoming as important as regular skincare, a sensorial body wash like David Mallet Hair + Body Wash will bring them back to heart’s center in the shower (while maybe singing Meek Mill’s Ride for You). Follow this up with the Uni 24-Hour Serum, which doubles as a naturally exfoliating serum and hydrating moisturizer. But since our bulls love really nice things, a luxuriously unnecessary (but also necessary) body oil like Costa Brazil’s Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil delivers more sensuous, earth-bound brilliance on the nights where they need to say “I’ve given all I can give today. This one’s just for me.”

Now, now…let’s not forget our Taureans are tactile beings, who want to feel mechanically tied to whatever they’re doing. That means we must give them unique processes by which to strengthen and enhance their skin because—as a reminder—they’re obsessed with resilience. The EVE LOM Cleansing Oil combine a Taurus’ love of practicality with their shared adoration for optimized indulgence and beauty while the SEKKISEI Glass Skin Set gives them something new to try (without overemphasizing that it’s a new thing, since they find new, surprising things off-putting).

Church California Neroli Water can be utilized as their not-so-secret skin weapon for all on-the-go moments to make them feel a little less like a martyr as they hack at their to-do lists. Once the day is done, no one knows better than a Taurus that beauty sleep is imperative (“but who has the time?!), so something like LANATIV’s Concentrated Sleeping Cream will soothe the hectic day away with ingredients that are so highly concentrated (and gentle), that you won’t even find water on the list.

To Strengthen Their Already-Stretched-Thin Capacity

There is no question that strength and endurance requires a lot of energy…and no one—and I mean no one—understands this better than a Taurus. With so much capacity to give, tend to, nurture, love, and account for, our bby Taurus crew can feel really spent or “at capacity.”

To support their need to restore, let’s tackle it from all angles.

Remember when I said a Taurus wants to feel more mechanically tied to their routines? Wellness-y tools and gadgets that deliver passive forms of active recovery are ideal for a Taurus, who wants to know they’re doing right by themselves and others without necessarily adding another thing to their plate.

The Heat Healer PEMF, Infrared & Red LED Light Body Belt is as pragmatic as a Taurus themselves. With infrared heat, LED light, and PEMF, this heat wrap is the ultimate multi-tasking healing tool your Taurus can use while still tidying up their mess (and yours). The Somavedic Rosalin is yet another passive-active powerhouse that 1) looks chic and intriguing 2) blocks EMF radiation from naughty things like your phone, and 3) has been specifically crafted to help support women’s hormonal health. If that doesn’t scream “Taurus Energy,” then I don’t know what does. 

To encourage more of an active wind-down routine, focus on items that handle the internal—and therefore external by proxy. Agent Nateur’s (holi) radiance panders directly to the bold and beautiful nature of a Taurus (growing hair, radiant skin, etc.) while the Rebalance Dream Sleep Lozenge encourages Taureans to just let go of the earth for a little while (only eight hours, objectively), and dream a little dream. 

For the Host That Lives Within

When I think of a Taurus, I basically envision Diane Keaton in The Family Stone mixed with Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated—sensuous women (I know male Taurus’ exist too!) surrounding a rustic table, slicing into boule bread, wearing an apron that pairs perfectly with a cashmere turtleneck while asking their 75 children (who still love them) how their lives are going. 

While my fantasy may not be a total reality, it exists because Taureans love to create a sense of home while caring for others.

Help them gather round their own proverbial rustic table with hosting prompts that will redefine the meaning of hearth. ENZO’s Table Il Mercato Box has genuinely everything one could ever need to keep people busy with aperitivo while one is roasting a spatchcocked chicken in the oven. If they want to ditch the oven and go for an “all in one,” the Our Place Dream Cooker is stun-ning to look at (which a Taurus appreciates) and happily sit on the counter while creating soups, stews, and other cozy things without any of the mess (which a Taurus also appreciates).

For the table, elevate your beloved Taurus’ need to go for the overly practical with something like Trudon’s Taper Candles, which will have everyone pulling out their wallets while saying, “Let there be light!” It’s only fair that even their glassware is sturdy, practical, artisanal, and also unique (“Just like me,” says a Taurus), so consider Created Cove Glasswear, which is double-walled for extra strength (“Just like me,” also says a Taurus).
