20 of the Best Gifts for Geminis That Are Charming and Whimsical (Just Like Them)
Gemini season is finally upon us, folks, (May 20th to be exact) so chances of you needing a gift for your inquisitive, inspirational bestie are high. But before you start snagging goodies to spoil your favorite Gem, it’s important to know what kind of gifts they’ll *really* love. So on that note, a quick astrology lesson: Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is the planet of communication and intellect. An Air sign, they’re charismatic, extroverted (though not always) and persuasive, and favor lively conversation, self-expression and rambunctious social events.
How does this translate to gifting, you may ask? Look for options that pair nicely with these traits: a cocktail recipe book, a wellness journal, an eye-catching phone case, unique jewels with an emphasis on duality or a duffle bag for any of their upcoming travels. In short, anything that fulfills and satisfies their desire to uncover the unknown and host a fabulous house party. Need some help getting started? We rounded up 20 of the best gifts for Geminis you can buy RN that are truly fit for their big, impossible-to-miss energy.

1. The Encyclopedia of Cocktails
Your Gemini pals get a thrill out of learning new things—and they adore a good party, too. So what do you get the liveliest bookworm you know? An encyclopedia of cocktails, obvi. This one in particular offers deets on everything from a beginner bartender’s basics to pro-level mixology tips, and dives headfirst into the history of a vast menu of drinks, alongside recipes for each.
2. Girlfriend Collective Paloma Racerback Bra and Compressive High-Rise Legging
Fun fact: Geminis are represented by The Twins (whose names are Castor and Pollux in case you were wondering) so in a way, a workout set is pretty symbolic of the sign as a whole. We love Girlfriend Collective for their buttery soft, eco-friendly fitness gear that’s designed for every activity under the Sun Mercury, so we know they will, too.
3. Mejuri Duo Ring
Another way to gift them something that echoes those aforementioned twins? A 14k gold ring of interlocking bands made to appear as opposites but ultimately complement one another beautifully.
4. Calm Club Good Vibes Crystal Kit
It may be cheesy but…Why not buy some gems for your Gem?
5. Papier Wellness Journal
A Gemini’s wheelhouse is constantly turning, so they have plenty of thoughts, and even more to say. Give them a place to jot it all down with an aesthetically pleasing (Gems are big on aesthetics, BTW) journal complete with pages for daily check-ins and noting their feelings, ideas and habits.
6. The Papier Pen
Oh, and don’t forget about a pretty pen to go with it.
7. Coton Colors Gemini Zodiac Mug
One thing that Geminis do not have a short supply of is energy. So although they may not need a morning cup of Joe, they’ll appreciate getting their caffeine kick out of a mug specifically labeled for them.
8. Birthdate Candle
Send them on a path of self discovery with the help of a candle that’ll clue them in on everything they need to know about the astrology behind the exact day that they were born. Scent notes include warming sandalwood with follow up fragrances of orchid, lemon and amber.
9. Apple iPhone Leather Phone Case
We’ll make it short: Geminis are social creatures and as such, they’re never going to be far away from their phones. (Consider this your cue to not take them somewhere with a lack of cell service to celebrate their special day.) This durable, leather case is the ideal accessory for their third arm.
10. lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
Speaking of hands, a Gemini likely uses them to speak with, craft with, design with, etc., so they aren’t going to want to feel tied down. A fanny pack—especially lululemon’s roomy, water-resistant design—is just what an on-the-go Gem needs for helping them remain in motion.
11. Sephora Collection Astrology Lip Stories Lipstick
One of the most extroverted of the Zodiac, Gems looove to make a statement. A bold lippy in a vibrant shade best suited for them is one that’s likely to become a go-to in their beauty bag.
12. Dannijo Finn Asymmetrical Earring
Remember what we said about Gems not being afraid to make a statement? Not only are these eye-catching baubles going to do just that, but the asymmetrical design will satisfy the duality of their sign, too.
13. Fenty Skin Hydra’Reset Intensive Recovery Hand Mask
Every sign has a part of a body that they rule over. Geminis? They rule over the hands. A decadent mask formulated with plant extracts, fruit oils and glycerin designed to moisturize and protect their delicate skin is just what the beauty regimen calls for.
14. Gemini Astrology Zodiac Aura Gradient Art Print Stationery Cards
No birthday, or any celebratory event for the matter, is complete without a heartfelt card. Present them with a singular one from this pack of three, or give them the full set to dole out when they choose.
15. Béis The Weekender Bag
A reminder that Gems are intellects that get a true thrill out of travel. Give them something that you know they’ll use, like this weekender duffle that has multiple compartments for organizing travel essentials and is available in four soothing color options.
16. Carmel and Terrell Swan Woven Astrology Zip Pouch
Whether they opt to stow writing utensils, beauty supplies or other everyday essentials in this colorful pouch, its ability to satisfy a multitude of uses speaks to their own dichotomy. Oh, and it’s pretty cute, too.
17. Gemini Constellation Whiskey Glass
Remember, these guys are party animals.
18. Olive & June The Summer Mani Box
It doesn’t matter which sign they are, everyone can always use a little pampering. Not only will this at-home mani system help them achieve a bit of TLC, but the selection of high-voltage polish colors is practically made for a Gemini and their digits.
19. Seeing Stars
It’s probable that your Gemini BFF is down to get in touch with their intuitive side—and this detailed book describes all the basics about their Zodiac sign. (Just don’t be surprised when she starts quoting it back to you.)
