Gemini season is finally upon us, folks, (May 20th to be exact) so chances of you needing a gift for your inquisitive, inspirational bestie are high. But before you start snagging goodies to spoil your favorite Gem, it’s important to know what kind of gifts they’ll *really* love. So on that note, a quick astrology lesson: Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is the planet of communication and intellect. An Air sign, they’re charismatic, extroverted (though not always) and persuasive, and favor lively conversation, self-expression and rambunctious social events.

How does this translate to gifting, you may ask? Look for options that pair nicely with these traits: a cocktail recipe book, a wellness journal, an eye-catching phone case, unique jewels with an emphasis on duality or a duffle bag for any of their upcoming travels. In short, anything that fulfills and satisfies their desire to uncover the unknown and host a fabulous house party. Need some help getting started? We rounded up 20 of the best gifts for Geminis you can buy RN that are truly fit for their big, impossible-to-miss energy.

Anthropologie

1. The Encyclopedia Of Cocktails

Your Gemini pals get a thrill out of learning new things—and they adore a good party, too. So what do you get the liveliest bookworm you know? An encyclopedia of cocktails, obvi. This one in particular offers deets on everything from a beginner bartender’s basics to pro-level mixology tips, and dives headfirst into the history of a vast menu of drinks, alongside recipes for each.

Anthropologie

2. Girlfriend Collective Paloma Racerback Bra and Compressive High-rise Legging

Fun fact: Geminis are represented by The Twins (whose names are Castor and Pollux in case you were wondering) so in a way, a workout set is pretty symbolic of the sign as a whole. We love Girlfriend Collective for their buttery soft, eco-friendly fitness gear that’s designed for every activity under the Sun Mercury, so we know they will, too.

Another way to gift them something that echoes those aforementioned twins? A 14k gold ring of interlocking bands made to appear as opposites but ultimately complement one another beautifully.

5. Papier Wellness Journal

A Gemini’s wheelhouse is constantly turning, so they have plenty of thoughts, and even more to say. Give them a place to jot it all down with an aesthetically pleasing (Gems are big on aesthetics, BTW) journal complete with pages for daily check-ins and noting their feelings, ideas and habits.

8. Birthdate Candle

Send them on a path of self discovery with the help of a candle that’ll clue them in on everything they need to know about the astrology behind the exact day that they were born. Scent notes include warming sandalwood with follow up fragrances of orchid, lemon and amber.

9. Apple Iphone Leather Phone Case

We’ll make it short: Geminis are social creatures and as such, they’re never going to be far away from their phones. (Consider this your cue to not take them somewhere with a lack of cell service to celebrate their special day.) This durable, leather case is the ideal accessory for their third arm.

Speaking of hands, a Gemini likely uses them to speak with, craft with, design with, etc., so they aren’t going to want to feel tied down. A fanny pack—especially lululemon’s roomy, water-resistant design—is just what an on-the-go Gem needs for helping them remain in motion.
