This month I feel like I can speak with some real authority: I’m a Taurus myself, and I live with two fellow Tauruses (what can I say, we tend to stick together). And shopping for a Taurus is a real joy, if I do say so myself.
Call us materialists, call us “aesthetically-minded”; however you frame it, we love nice things. Tauruses are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty. While Tauruses tend to be practical, centered, and patient, they’re also hopeless romantics. We love gifts that celebrate the senses and offer us a chance to indulge. Whether it’s the perfect set of silk lounge pants or an impeccably crafted incense holder, Tauruses love anything that brings us tactile, tangible pleasure.
As Earth signs, Tauruses are particularly connected to natural materials. When shopping for a Taurus, skip the synthetics and find gifts that add a sense of grounded ritual to your Taurus’s life. While a Taurus’s love of luxury is often misconstrued as a love for designer goods, true luxury for a Taurus can be as simple as a beautiful handmade vase to hold spring blooms, or a decadent small batch perfume.
Read on for our Taurus-approved guide to the 12 best gifts to give a Taurus this spring:

Sensual Silks
The first stop in shopping for a Taurus is thinking about sensual textures – silks, velvets, anything that feels decadent to the touch. Silks make great gifts for homebody Tauruses, especially if you’ve been trying to coax them out of the house more: they make lounging on the couch feel decadent and make going out feel cozy. The LESET Barb Wide Leg Pants ($260) are beautifully tailored, incredibly silky, and come in several gorgeous colors, from basic black to jewel-toned malbec. The Intimissimi Silk Slip With Lace Insert Detail ($109) is similarly well-constructed and comes in a huge variety of colors. I love the delicate, spring-appropriate “quartz lilac” colorway. FALKE does make some undeniably decadent mulberry silk tights, but I can’t bring myself to recommend a pair of stockings that cost nearly $300 – especially since the FALKE Seidenglatt 15 DEN Women’s Tights ($31) are the silkiest, sexiest, most durable tights I’ve ever worn. And if you’re looking to complete your all-silk-ensemble, the soft leather soles of the Ancient Greek Sandals The Slipper ($370) make them the perfect satin shoe to lounge around in or wear out to dinner. Get them for your Taurus in the earth-sign-approved green khaki colorway.
Sentimental Scents
Touch isn’t the only sense that turns on a Taurus: as sentimental sensualists, they’re very sensitive to the memories and emotions that scents hold. I’m usually shy about overdoing it on floral fragrances but am currently completely enamoured by D’Orsay Une rose au paradis R.B. ($165 for 50ML). Perfumer Caroline Dumur’s romantic rose and freesia heart notes are magically anchored by sandalwood and brightened by pink pepper. Or celebrate subtly-scented spring blooms with BYREDO Tulipmania Hand Lotion ($85). If your Taurus prefers home scents, indulge in the woody, handmade ISSH Incense kyo wo totonoeru ($28) (translation: “organize today’s memory”), and pair it with the Brancuzi-esque APFR Brass Incense Holder ($165).
Stay At Home Spa Day
The greatest gift you can give a Taurus is an excuse to stay home. Help them craft an at home spa day with the delicately fragrant & beautifully packaged Santa Maria Novella Magnolia Bath Gel ($70). The Kate McLeod The Face Gua Sha ($80) is crafted entirely from marbled, earth toned stone, which makes it a much more tactile, grounding wellness tool than similar versions in metal or plastic. Or you could add a little springtime whimsy to your Taurus’s bathroom candle collection with the Eternal Blossom Glass Candleholder in Teal/Yellow ($50) and colorful, all-natural DAIYO Rice Wax Japanese Candles in Earth Colors ($23).
Get to gifting – and I’ll meet you back here next month to guide you through the do’s and don’ts of shopping for a mesmerizing Gemini.
