Have a friend with a February or March birthday? These are the presents they’ll love
Star signs, zodiacs and horoscopes may fill you with glee – linking personality traits and quirks to birthdays can help us make sense of who we are and why, guide us to make certain decisions and even dictate who we fall in love with. Or, they may fill you with dread and the difference between a Cancer and a Capricorn will forever be a question you never need the answer to.
Either way, the interest in star signs is booming, and if you’re in need of gift inspiration, it may not be the worst place to start. Of course, no two people are alike purely because of the time they were born, but, with subtle character traits, strengths, weaknesses and even lucky gemstones and colours all spelt out, we’ve found it to be a great springboard for gift ideas for even the most difficult of recipients.
Anyone whose birthday falls between 19 February and 20 March is a Pisces, and you may be familiar with the star sign of two fish swimming in opposite directions. After researching far and wide to learn as much as we could about this dynamic group, this is what we found.
Pisces struggle separating fantasy and reality, known to be dreamers and creatives, they can slot into any surrounding bringing compassion and laughter wherever they go. Lovers of music and romance, as well as sleeping and being alone, a Pisces is gentle, wise, imaginative and intuitive, but these emotions can sometimes weigh them down.
Taking all of this into consideration, alongside birthstones, favourite colours and the draw of the sea, we’ve rounded up everything from sea salt scrubs to scrapbook art for the ultimate Pisces gift guide, with ideas from some of our favourite retailers and independent brands we think you’ll love.

Unlike most of our reviews here at IndyBest, where we can compare the sound quality of headphones or the fluffiness of a pillow, all of these gift items are so unique no two can be directly compared.
So, instead of rating the products against each other, we assessed each gift on its individual quality, affordability, and ideal recipient. Of course, each product was tested in the best way for that piece, the candle was burned, the scarf knitted and the gin happily tasted – it’s like Christmas all over again for our Pisces tester.
While we would be overjoyed to open any of these gifts on our birthday this year, the little chakra bag was something we’d never really seen before – complete with a yoga lesson, and the kit, it’s definitely an experience we’d love to try again.
If you’re looking to gift a beauty fanatic then the hydrating laminaria oil, Pacifica sea foam complete face wash, rose utopia botanical body scrub and ocean dive pore-clearing serum are all great tried and tested options guaranteed to put a smile on their face. And for those who already have everything, you can’t go wrong with the Pisces candle, jasmine plant or Mermaid gin.
