Not that we expected anything less, but 2020 is poised to go out with a bang — why? Two words: Sagittarius season. And even though we've found ourselves smack dab in the middle of Cyber Week sale mayhem, you're likely on the lookout for a gift that really goes above and beyond for the Sag(s) in your life.
"Sagittariuses are known for their free spirit, mindfulness, and positive vibes, which is why they’ll love gifts with bright colors and meaning," astro expert Lisa Stardust tells Refinery29. "The archer is fun and full of surprises, but due to their blunt nature, they require a present that speaks to their independent, headstrong qualities."
Luckily, you've come to the right place. We've rounded up 19 gift ideas that any Sagittarius would be thrilled to receive. (We even consulted with the R29 Shopping Team's resident fashion guru/fellow Sag, Emily Ruane, on a handful of A+ additions.) Plus, lucky for the gift-givers out there, the optimistic archer isn't afraid to let their emotions show. Translation: When you nail it, they'll make sure you hear how happy and grateful they are. Score.

Beaded Bracelet
"Known for their blunt nature, the archer often puts their foot in their mouth," explains Stardust. "All the more reason to give them a gift like this bracelet (or three) that helps them find the right words to express themselves."
Papier Boho 2021 Planner
"COVID-19 has denied many Sags the pleasure of exercising their greatest talent: Double- and triple-booking their calendars," says Ruane. "However, if this were a normal Sag season, you'd better believe that we'd be filling our dance cards to the nines, and we might benefit from a cool planner that would help us keep all of our obligations organized. As to whether or not we'd actually use it..."
Apple Airpods Pro
"Speaking of dance cards: life is hard without warehouse raves at 3 a.m.!" says Ruane. "You can help the Sagittarius in your life re-create their favorite pastime with a really nice set of headphones, so they can dance like no one is watching (even if they're filming themselves for TikTok)."
Thule Ridealong Child Bike Seat
"Sags are notoriously active, and in typical Sag fashion, I love going for looooong bike rides," says Ruane. "This child seat will enable me to safely strap my daughter (an Aquarius) in and bring her on rides with me!"
Milk Makeup Here for the Party Mini Face Set
If your Sag friend is more into makeup than skincare, consider this Milk kit, which includes adorable minis of the brand's top-selling mascara, primer, serum stick, eyeliner, brow gel, and moisturizer. "[It] is the perfect match for effortless, easy, and on-the-go applications," says astrologist Didi Daze. "The can-be-low-key, can-be-intense vibe is just right for a Sag."
Birthdate Candle
"Going the extra mile with an extremely personalized gift will make a Sagittarius' heart warm," Daze says. We suggest these candles, which are tailored to a person's actual birth date. Yep, there are 365 versions, each with a scent based on astrology, numerology, and tarot to match the recipient's "inner spirit".
Wreck This Journal
"Satisfy a Sag’s lofty creativity and brutal honesty with a gonzo journal that encourages destruction — in a good way," says Ruane.
Baggu Go Pouch Set
"This pouch set will keep negative energies away from good-vibes-only Sag," says Stardust of Baggu's IG-friendly bag set. "They’ll use it 24/7."
Madewell x Free & Easy® Tie-Dye Hoodie Sweatshirt
2020 will forever be known as the year that loungewear evolved from off-duty to on-repeat. "A tie-dye hoodie will become their go-to comfy gear for the upcoming chilly months," says Stardust.
Half Moon 4" Planter
"This planter will inspire your feisty BFF to change up their home decor and embrace some worldly, eco-friendly sentiments," says Stardust.
Mejuri Sagittarius Ring
If you like the idea of gifting jewelry but are on a tighter budget, this Mejuri zodiac stamp ring is another great option. The bold-but-subtle ring shows off the Sag constellation. (There are versions for the other signs too.)
Cosabella Allure Bralette
Not every sign cares as much about what's underneath their clothes as the passionate Archer. Whether you're the treat-yourself Sag or gifting your best GF, a super-soft lace bralette is the perfect upgrade to any Sagittarius' lingerie drawer.
Crave Vesper
Is it jewelry or a sex toy? "Sagittarius will never outright ask for attention," says Six the Sextrologist. But that's not to say they don't want it, and this statement necklace is sure to draw some second glances.
Polaroid Originals Now I-Type Instant Camera
"A Polaroid camera will allow your Sag bestie to share their memories and show off their socially-distanced adventures," says Stardust.
Urban Decay On The Run Mini Eyeshadow Palette
"Sags are notoriously edgy, which is why this red color palette is perfect for them," Stardust suggests. "It’ll help them vibe up their look."
Bearaby Cotton Napper
"A soft and lush blanket in their lucky color — purple — will warm the heart of your Sag bestie," says Stardust.
Blondie Metallic Short Sleeve Graphic T-Shirt
"As lovers of music, they’ll love a cool vintage-inspired tee, — preferably one of a kick-ass artist," says Stardust.
Everlane Transit Bag
"As the wisdom-seeking travelers of the zodiac, Sagittarians love to travel light and be on the move," says astrologer Emmalea Russo. "This lightweight sling bag ensures maximum mobility."
