Gift Ideas for Travelers Based on Their Zodiac Signs
Capricorn (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Known for being hard workers, Capricorns are practical beings with an innate need to feel secure and aware of their surroundings. Make your traveler feel much more at ease by giving them an anti-theft backpack with a unique exterior that camouflages a ton of features to ward off pickpockets, like hidden zippers and cut-proof fabrics. And, with a waterproof exterior, this backpack can stand up to even the harshest of weather, no matter where on the map it ends up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
With a fierce independent streak, Aquarians will love a gift that allows them to adventure unhindered by mundane, everyday chores. A portable laundry system will get their clothes cleaned efficiently in minutes, meaning they have more time to explore a new place. It may seem like a practical choice for your friend who thrives on fun, but they’ll thank you after putting it to good use over and over again.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
When considering a present for a Pisces traveler, keep in mind that no matter where they’re headed, they’ll ultimately wind up wanting to sit back, relax, and unwind, as it’s in their nature to do so. What better way to take in a new surrounding than by doing so with your feet up? This camping hammock is easy to set up, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable — and it does double duty as a tent.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
While vacationing may be exactly what a Taurus enjoys most, traveling to their destination can sometimes be less than pleasant. Indulge the person who appreciates the finer things in life with an embroidered silk eye mask, which will make jet-setting feel borderline indulgent (even if the ticket doesn’t read "First Class").

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
With a tendency to wear their emotions on their sleeves, Cancers need a way to express what they're feel throughout their journeys. A travel journal will allow a Cancer to jot down everything they come across on their adventures — and treasure those memories for years to come. A soft, pliable leather cover makes it easy to throw in a carry-on, too.
