What Graduation Gift To Buy Yourself, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Updated Published

Congratulations on graduating from college! You are an absolute boss and deserve to treat yourself before the “real world” hits you. Sit down and think about all of the hurdles you have overcome in the last four or five years. You’re done with all the essays, presentations, and exams! (For now, at least.) 

Now that you’ve reached this amazing milestone, it’s time to treat yourself. Instead of waiting for someone to buy you an amazing graduation gift — buy it for yourself! You earned it. Besides, who better to pick out a gift you’ll enjoy than yourself? And if you’re not completely sure what to treat yourself with, look no further. Here’s the top graduation gift to buy yourself, all based on your zodiac sign. 

The dates that each zodiac sign ends and starts on slightly vary yearly. The dates used are the accurate zodiac dates for 2024. If you are on the cusp of a zodiac sign end date, you should look into the dates for your specific birth year or create your birth chart to learn more!

Aries (MARCH 21-APRIL 20)

Since Aries are easily bored, they truly are the life of the party. Let yourself be party-ready wherever you may go with a portable Bluetooth speaker ($28). Here’s to calling good chaos your way!

Taurus (APRIL 21-MAY 20)

Oh, Taurus, I know you hate big changes, but this one is going to be good. After graduation, you deserve to cuddle up with a quality cup of coffee. Buying yourself a Nespresso machine ($129) will save you a trip to your local coffee shop every morning (and potentially afternoon). You’ll be living the dream of every homebody!

Gemini (MAY 21-JUNE 21)

The iconic Gemini, give your mind a break and recharge your social battery with your graduation gift. Noise-canceling headphones ($56) will make your hot girl walks so much more enjoyable. You’ll be able to zero in on your favorite podcast or music artist.

Cancer (JUNE 22-JULY 22)

Cancers constantly seek comfort. You classically take the weight of the world on your shoulders. Trade the university stress in for a weighted blanket ($36) this graduation season. Weighted blankets can range from five to 20 pounds, so you can choose the weight that makes you feel the best. 

Leo (JULY 23-AUG. 23)

Leos are known for standing out and loving good quality products (especially luxurious ones). You may already be a style icon, but do you have the best of the best? The Shark FlexStyle ($280) is a great dupe for the $600 Dyson AirWrap, and it’s the perfect graduation gift to get yourself. Get ready for all the compliments coming your way!

Virgo (AUG. 24-SEPT. 23)

Virgos need to feel useful. This also extends to the objects that fill a Virgo’s home. A 3-in-1 charging stand ($127) is sure to make a Virgo’s mouth water. It’s useful, reliable, and efficient — all the things you love and need in your life.

Libra (SEPT. 24-OCT. 23)

Libras love their hosting in their aesthetically pleasing space. What better way to welcome yourself to your new adult life than with a cute wine rack ($45)? It displays all your wine beautifully and is easily reachable when you’re trying to make a hard decision or daydreaming about life.

Scorpio (OCT. 24-NOV. 22)

I swear it’s a law that every Scorpio has to have an emo phase at some point in their life. Transfer that cool girl energy into a pair of Dr. Martens ($210). They will last you a lifetime and instantly elevate any outfit. Think about how sick you’ll look with your staple leather jacket and Dr. Martens. If you already have the classic boots, look into some of the other styles they have!

Sagittarius (NOV. 23-DEC. 21)

Sagittarians are obsessed with self-improvement. I bet you already have a graduation trip planned (or an imaginary one). It’s time to get the trip out of the group chat. To do that, you’ll need to spoil yourself with a reliable set of luggage that’ll hold up on all of your adventures. Check out the gorg Béis luggage ($218) by the one and only Shay Mitchell, and have fun celebrating in the sun!

Capricorn (DEC. 22-JAN. 20)

Capricorns are motivated by success. You deserve to show off your success once in a while. I mean, you did just graduate from college! That calls for a quality gift to yourself. Treat yourself to a pair of Mejuri Dôme Hoops ($78). The thick layer of 18k gold vermeil will have you feeling like the boss that you are.

Aquarius (JAN. 21-FEB. 19)

Every Aquarius loves personal creativity. Dive deeper into your favorite true crime or art documentary while expressing yourself with a mini projector ($90). Whether you set it up in your bedroom or living room, it will be the perfect thing to bring your night to a fun new level. 

Pisces (FEB. 20-MARCH 20)

Pisces are romantic and spiritual people. Show yourself a little self-love with a cozy knit robe ($128). With this luxe loungewear by Kim Kardashian, you’ll never want to change into real clothes. Imagine making coffee and checking your daily horoscope every morning in something so lush.
