As a holiday babe myself, more often than not, I fall victim to the dreaded “birthday and holiday” combo gift. Ugh! The horror. All jokes aside, it can be difficult to find the time to shop for the perfect gift for your holiday season birthday friends amidst your routine holiday shopping for the rest of the people on your list. You want your gift to be fit for a birthday, and not like the other plethora of holiday gifts they may be receiving this season. Or maybe you already have their holiday gift picked out, and now you’re scrambling for a birthday gift you can purchase for them, too. I know all too well how it feels to use up all your energy on the perfect birthday gift, only to turn around and realize another holiday is right around the corner.
Allow me to take some stress off your holiday shopping. Below, I’ve compiled a list of 10 birthday gift ideas for your favorite Sagittarius or Capricorn. The following gift list is versatile — perfect for anyone on your list. Whether it’s shopping for a family member, a friend, a significant other, or a work colleague, these gifts are the perfect combination of cozy and chic, seasonal yet staple, and guaranteed to make their birthday special. If you stumbled upon this list and you’re not shopping for a birthday and rather just holiday shopping, feel free to use these ideas, just don’t let the Sagittarians and Capricorns in your life know — they can get a little territorial about the “birthday gift” and “holiday gift” distinction. (Not that I’m speaking from personal experience, of course.)
