8 Thoughtful Yet Outside-the-Box Types of Gifts Any Scorpio Will Love
In a little over a week, we'll be diving right into Scorpio season, which lasts from Oct. 23 until Nov. 21 at the height of autumn and the Halloween festivities.
We've always thought that this time of year felt just right for Scorpio and their birthday celebrations, as the spooky season matches the sign's intensity, mystery and wisdom—as well as their zodiac symbol, the scorpion. However, since Scorpios can tend to be extra tricky to shop for, you should definitely start thinking about gifts early. Eager to appeal to their emotional and passionate natures? You can't go wrong with one of the eight out-of-the-box types of gifts below.
A Journal for Exploring the Inner Self
Scorpio is one of the three water signs of the zodiac, known for their deep emotions and thinking with their hearts first. They deal with a lot of intense thoughts and feelings on a daily basis, which is why any Scorpio can benefit from getting into a journaling practice. For beginners, we suggest guided journals that will give them helpful prompts to allow them to unpack their thoughts, whether they focus on gratitude, mood, productivity or another specific goal. Think about the Scorpio you have in mind to intuitively lead you to the right choice.

A Selection of Teas + Tea Reading Guide
Having small rituals can be good for Scorpio, even if that's as simple as preparing a nice hot beverage each morning or evening. Scorpios are likely to be drawn to teas because they're highly customizable and versatile, coming in countless flavors and formulas with different benefits. We recommend not only gifting them a selection of different tasty teas with fun and complex flavors, but also a guide on how to read fortunes in tea leaves to make the experience go even deeper. Scorpios are often drawn to the metaphysical and unknowable, so even if they can't read their future as the sip, they're likely to get a kick out of trying.

An Angel Deck and Book for Guidance
Diving even deeper into the esoteric, angel decks are kind of like tarot decks, except they're said to allow practitioners to connect to other realms to receive guidance from angels and archangels. Even if you don't quite believe in all of that, they can be beneficial in the direction and support they share. Each card in the deck has its own beautiful art and a meaning attached, perhaps reminding the user to believe in the impossible, rely on the support of trusted friends and family or celebrate personal accomplishments. When picking a deck for someone, be sure to keep their aesthetics and values in mind.

Weighted Blankets
Scorpios don't do anything halfway, and their strength and enthusiasm can lead them to exhausting themselves and quickly burning out. While a weighted blanket won't solve all of their problems, it can ease their stresses someone while also providing a comforting and cozy environment. After all, weighted blankets can provide all kinds of unexpected benefits, from soothing anxiety to decreasing insomnia, and they can be used for getting a good night's sleep or even sitting around on the couch watching TV or reading.

A Blackout Sleep Mask With Bluetooth
Scorpios are notorious for having sleep issues, with overactive minds that can keep them awake at night, and wild dreams making their sleep not quite as restful as it could be. The right sleep mask can do wonders to create the right environment for rest, and there are so many options out there to get the job done. Look for wraparound masks that completely block out light and also apply snug, soothing pressure to the head, with Bluetooth capabilities so they can listen to music—or sleep meditations or white noise—to help them nod off. Some masks even have massaging capabilities.

A Memory Foam 'Bean' Bag
For when Scorpio wants to relax but isn't ready to get to sleep, bean bags are a stylish and comfortable option that make any resting space more inviting. These days, most of the best and most supportive options are filled not with beans but instead some kind of foam or beads, ergonomically cushioning the body. They're great for work and play, which Scorpio is likely to fully take advantage of.

Pampering Bath Goodies
As a water sign, Scorpio is likely to feel extra soothed by bodies of water—and if they can't actually get to the sea or a lake, the bath is the next best thing. Baths are awesome for decompressing and warming the body in a mindful and present way, and they're made even more fun with moisturizing ingredients, gorgeous colors and great scents swirling around in the tub.

A Cozy Robe
It's hard to feel stressed when you're all bundled up in a cozy robe—especially when you're fresh out of the shower or bath. It's a garment that signals the brain to relax and detach from the worries of the day, and there are styles out there for every Scorpio, from silky satin looks to breathable cotton styles and fluffy plush fleeces. Also keep the color in mind for the sign. Black is elegant yet edgy, while other cool colors like royal purples and navy hues are also excellent for the water sign.
