Libra season (September 23 to October 22) is upon us, and if you’re lucky enough to have a Libra in your life, you already know they’re the connoisseurs of charm, balance, and probably too many houseplants. These air signs are equal parts indecisive and refined, aka, really hard to shop for. Finding the best gifts for Libras can be a delicate balance, kinda like the scales that symbolize this compassionate sign.
A gift that speaks to their strong eye for aesthetics is a sure bet. “They’re highly attuned to style and also to balance in all senses,” says Alex Caiola, astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc. If not something beautiful, some of the best gifts for Libras will help them balance their daily routines. Specifically, anything that gives them a moment of self-care will make a great present—and if it indulges their tastes for the finer things, then all the better. As the zodiac is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and money, they enjoy life’s luxuries. A gift that speaks to their ideals of harmony and beauty is sure to leave a lasting impression, says Caiola.
That said, getting a Libra as a gift for their birthday is no small gesture. Relationships are paramount to them, given that they’re associated with the seventh house of partnerships. Any gift that comes from the heart will hit the mark. As the zodiac’s hopeless romantics, they make thoughtful partners and friends, and, coupled with their excellent taste, great gift-givers.
If you want to return the love, below are some of the best gifts for Libras.

Ever the aesthete, a Libra who loves to entertain will flip for a cute addition to their bar cart like this wine glass set.
