Finding the best gifts for Scorpios isn’t for the faint of heart. These intense, brooding creatures don’t want your basic, half-baked presents—Scorpios can feel if you didn’t put your soul into the gift. Ruled by Pluto (the planet of transformation, death, and all things dramatic), these water signs thrive on mystery, depth, and a little edge. So, if you’re thinking of going the safe route with a generic candle or something cute this Scorpio season (which runs October 23 to November 21, FYI), stop right there.

Scorpio is one of the most complex energies of the zodiac,” says astrologer Patty Kamson. They brim with dark-horse energy and have interests as enigmatic as their personalities. They’re usually drawn to all things mysterious and taboo such as the supernatural and occult, which only adds to the sign’s mystique.

“Anything witchy and woo and weird is their vibe” —Jana Stern, astrologer

“Anything witchy and woo and weird is their vibe,” adds astrologer Jana Stern. Beneath the seemingly stoic appearance, Scorpios are also very much in tune with their feelings. These water signs are masters of self-reflection and aren’t afraid to delve deep into the depths of emotions. “Any kind of metaphysical book that allows them to see and understand themselves is a good gift idea,” says Kamson.

At their core, Scorpios are incredibly empathetic. “They feel so much,” says Kamson. “Being able to take time to step away to heal and release everything that’s been caught up in their own energy space is really important because Scorpios hold onto stuff.” Things like beautiful journals and other self-care essentials will keep these deeply sensitive souls happy and nourished.

Our moody scorpions also crave connection and intimacy—not only emotionally, but also physically. “Scorpio is kind of known—okay, not kind of—very known for their high sex drive,” says Stern. (The sign is associated with the genitalia and the eighth house of sex and taboo, after all). As such, anything that indulges their passionate side is sure to please. (Think: lingerie, massage oils, and sex toys.)

Ultimately, Scorpios appreciate it most when a gift speaks to their particular interests. “When in doubt, look at what they have and what they already love,” says Alex Caiola, astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc.—the latter of which you’ll find in the list ahead. With all this in mind, read on for the best gifts for Scorpio signs.
