9 Gifts That Will *Actually* Please The Scorpio In Your Life

Views: 19

Playwright William Congreve wrote, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, and likewise, there is no more disgruntled soul in the solar system than a Scorpio presented with a thoughtless gift. Sensitive and mysterious Scorpios are intensely loyal and fun friends who are next to impossible to shop for. So, with Scorpio season well underway, we thought we’d cut to the chase and asked a Scorpio what they’d actually like to be presented with on their birthday. Read on.

Scorpios get a bad rap in terms of how they’re perceived next to their fellow star signs. As a quietly proud Scorpio, I find myself leaping to the defence of my astro ilk.  While some cliched Scorpio characteristics do ring true (‘still waters run deep’, and ‘watch out for the sting’, sure – I’ll pay both), all of the Scorpios I know – myself included – are intensely loyal, deeply empathetic and often quite souls whose understated demeanour gets misrepresented as ‘calculative’, ‘mysterious’ or sometimes straight up ‘murderous’.

Amongst other things, this duality between who we appear to be, versus who we actually are, can make your Scorpio pals incredibly hard to buy for. Listen to the internet, and you’ll be considering all sorts of weird and ‘darks arts’-inspired gifts. Trust me when I say that there is nothing more jarring for a Scorpio than receiving a birthday present that they don’t like or resonate with. We thrive off emotional connection and that feeling of being ‘seen’ by the people in our lives. 

As a representative for all Scorpios, may I be so bold as to suggest some gift ideas that will have your Scorpio loved ones beaming with the feeling that you really know them. Because for us October/November-born folk, there’s no greater gift.

What Are Scorpio Dates?

Scorpio season runs from October 23rd to November 21st.

What Type Of Person Is A Scorpio

With a hard exterior and a soft shell Scorpios are both tough and mysterious. Ruled by dark and stormy Pluto and fiery Mars, they have a dark streak, and if you cross them, you’ll note the sting of their tail. Don’t cross them and you’ll discover a sensitive soul and intensely loyal friend. Highly intuitive Scorpios are exceptional social media detectives and the best person to have by your side when you need to do some sleuthing on your Hinge date.

Celebrity Scorpios:

Anne Hathaway, Winona Ryder, Frank Ocean, Kendall Jenner, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Demi Moore, Matthew McConaughey, Hillary Clinton and Ryan Reynolds are just a few on a long list of famous Scorpios.
