The 12 Best Gifts For Virgos That Will Meet Their, Er, *Particular* Standards
Virgo season is upon us, and from August 22 to September 22, this analytical earth sign is the star of the show. If you’re celebrating a Virgo in your life, chances are you want to find a gift that meets their, ahem, particular standards. Known for their meticulous, methodical approach to life, finding the best gifts for Virgos can be intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be!
“Virgo’s tagline is ‘I analyze,’” says Celeste Brooks, astrologer and host of the podcast Celestial Insights. So much so, they’ve earned the stereotype of being fussbudgets, but it’s only because they care. If you’re lucky to know a Virgo, it’s likely they’ve put a lot of thought into finding you a perfect gift. In turn, a gift created specifically for them will go a long way.

As the singular earth sign ruled by planet Mercury, Virgos also possess a strong sense of “practicality,” says astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc. Alex Caiola. They’re pragmatic and adept at creating routines, which they manage to uphold even amidst chaos (hello, Mercury retrograde). “Virgos are concerned with rituals, routines, and working diligently toward a goal with a level of dedication and organization often tied to perfectionism,” says Caiola.

Given this, one of the best gifts you can give a Virgo is something that will optimize their everyday routines. If not, something that will quell overthinking. “A lot of Virgos can be in their head, overanalyzing on how to make things better,” says Brooks. With this in mind, consider giving them something, “that helps get them out of their mind and into their body and into more relaxation,” she says. Because if there’s one sign that could really use some pampering, it’s our always-preserving Virgos.

This necklace comes with a pendant that you can customize with your recipient’s constellation, making for a thoughtful present that will your favorite Virgo just how much you care about them. It’s available in sterling silver, gold fill, or 14-karat gold, and the accompanying chain comes in 17- to 21-inch lengths. The result makes for a treasured keepsake that anyone—including a hard-to-impress Virgo—will love.
Virgos have an“inner discipline and an appreciation for neatness at home,” says Caiola. If the Virgo in your life is a stickler for organization, this desktop organizer will tame the chaos in their office and keep everything in its place. It can store workspace essentials and knick-knacks that don’t have a home, allowing the Virgo to create an orderly station for all their most taxing work endeavors.
As an earth sign, it’s really no surprise that Virgos have a penchant for greenery. As Caiola mentioned in a previous interview, “They’re usually really good with plants.” This indoor garden kit will encourage a beloved Virgo’s green thumb. It’s self-watering and has built-in grow light, creating the perfect environment for plants to thrive. What’s more? The water-based growing system requires no soil, so Virgos don’t have to get their hands (or space) dirty.
Virgos rule the digestive system, and one way to their heart is through their stomach. You’ll only want to best for Virgo’s discerning palate, such as the Sunbasket meal delivery kit. The kits include only USDA-certified organic and sustainable ingredients to make flavorful recipes that will appeal to particular eaters. Each kit comes with several meals’ worth of ingredients to make recipes of their choosing. Plus, it’ll help take the guesswork out of meal planning, which a busybody Virgo is sure to appreciate.
For the Virgo in your life who likes their coffee to their exact specifications, this high-tech, WiFi-enabled coffee maker fits the bill. Its smart-device capabilities allow for a voice-to-brew function, so they can simply say their order aloud to the machine—including a number of cups to brew, and at which strength, temperature, and time—and know it’ll come out just right.
If you know a Virgo who likes to keep their hands (and minds) busy, the Sculpd Pottery Starter Kit will keep them happily preoccupied. The kit, which comes with air-dry clay, allows your recipient to craft mugs, bowls, or small ceramic projects at home.
It’s an easy win: Sculpting clay is nothing if not detail-driven and aligned to a particular end goal—just like Virgos themselves. “They tend to be crafty and love a project that involves time and care to create a polished result,” says Caiola. Oh, and not to mention, playing with clay falls into that category of crafts with major mental health benefits—like serving as a tech-free diversion and boosting levels of happiness hormone serotonin—which aligns this gift with Virgo’s overall focus on wellness.
Adopting a new skill that involves consistent effort to master is right up Virgo’s alley, whose intellect-driven mindset leads them to enjoy learning in a class setting, too. Enter: the gift of a Skillshare subscription, which will give them access for three months to a wide array of classes on everything from graphic design to business analytics.
When it comes to gifts, laundry products aren’t usually the first thing to come to mind. However, what this kit lacks in sex appeal, it makes up for in practicality—something a Virgo will adore. “Virgos are very oriented about cleanliness,” explains Brooks. The kit comes with laundry detergent, laundry booster, and wool dryer balls, for cleaner and fresher-smelling clothes. A bonus: it’s all made from natural ingredients, which is sure to please any earth-minded Virgos.
Virgos have a sense of witty neuroticism, says Caiola, which can turn into anxious or spiraling thoughts on the journey toward a goal. She recommends this therapist-created journal as a helpful modality for Virgos looking to channel and process these thoughts as they arise. Its methodology is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the guided entries designed to help its user identify and improve negative thought patterns and develop a greater sense of self-awareness.

“A lot of Virgos are health-oriented,” says Brooks—a sentiment echoed by astrologer Stefanie Iris Weiss. “Virgos are all about the mind-body connection,” she previously shared. If the Virgo in your life is looking to prioritize their well-being, a wearable tracker like the Fitbit Charge 6 will offer them detailed information to keep them in tune with their body. It’s Bluetooth compatible and water resistant, and it has easy-to-use features, including a heart-rate monitor, an accelerometer, plus built-in GPS to track runs and bike rides.
If your always-striving Virgo could use some R&R, a massage may be the best gift you can give them, says Brooks. This massage gun will give their body serious relief, and it comes in a compact package so they can use it anytime, anywhere. And don’t let its size fool you. It offers powerful percussion, plus comes with several attachments and speed settings for extra comfort.
Virgos are all about acts of service, says Brooks, and a gift that pays it forward will speak to their compassionate side. “If a Virgo has everything, you can think about making a donation to a charity,” she says. This eGift card allows them to select from over 1,000 charities and donate the funds to up to three charities of their choice.
