 | Capricorn Birthdays: December 22nd - January 20th Slow and steady wins the race - and slow and steady sums up the Capricorn personality to a T. These are the patient, thoughtful and serious people of the world: the ones who love spending time with their families and setting up their homes. |
 | Capricorns are perhaps the most serious and down-to-earth signs of the zodiac, so no joke presents or novelty items for them! They'd much prefer a gift as thoughtful as they are: something that shows you've put a bit of time and effort into getting it just right. So what to choose? |
Well, those born under the sign of Capricorn tend to be very family-oriented, so a personalised gift focusing on the family and the other people they love could be a good choice. There are so many different types of personalised gifts available nowadays that it can be difficult to know what to pick, but methodical Capricorn may appreciate a personalised calendar, with a family picture for each month. It'll not only allow them to feel close to family members even while at work, it'll also help them stay organised - and being organised is very important to Capricorns! |
That methodical nature and need to be organised at all times can sometimes earn Capricorn the reputation of being a nit-picker, but actually, they just crave security, and like to feel that their lives are running to plan. A good quality personal organiser would make a good gift for a Capricorn, or you could help them make sure that there's a place for everything and everything in its place with a home décor item. |
Although sometimes thought of as the homemakers of the world, don't dismiss Capricorn at work, either: they're actually very ambition, and while they may not actively seek out the attention of their bosses and colleagues, they tend to get it anyway, through their sheer hard work and reliability. If the Capricorn you're buying for is an ambitious one, some executive toys or other office-oriented gifts such as laptop bags, desk diaries and coffee mugs will help them through their day. |
If, on the other hand, your Capricorn is working just a bit too hard, how about some bath indulgences and sizzlers to help them slow down and unwind at the end of a long, hard day? |
They're ambitious in the office, but Capricorns also tend to be high-achievers in the rest of their lives too. Lovers of sports and exercise (especially those sports they can excel at!), they'll love a gym subscription or some sports equipment, but will be equally happy to curl up at home with their loved ones, so stock up on chocolate and gift baskets to indulge them at home. |
Capricorn's birthstone is garnet, so jewellery containing their favourite stone is a good gift choice: think <actinic:variable name="LINKFOR" /> women and cufflinks and signet rings for men. Remember that serious Capricorn is not a flashy dresser, so stylish and classic should be your watchwords if buying clothing or jewellery as a gift for them.
