Holiday Gift Ideas That'll Rub A Virgo The Right Way

Virgos, born between August 23 and September 22, are the zodiac’s perfectionists, known for their analytical minds, grounded nature, and a knack for spotting what others miss. They thrive on organisation, practicality, and clean aesthetics, often preferring a calm, orderly environment over chaos.

They might come off as a little too critical sometimes, but that’s just their way of saying, “I care enough to fix it.” Beyonce and Zendaya are classic Virgo icons—graceful, hardworking, and annoyingly good at everything. Whether they’re color-coding their planner or silently judging your sloppy text grammar, Virgos always bring their A-game (and a backup plan).

Lemaire Croissant large nappa leather hobo bag, $2,500, www.lemaire.com

A classic Lemaire piece, this soft hobo is perfectly gender-neutral, adds a offhandedly cool touch to any outfit, and is reportedly large enough to fit a 13-inch laptop - what's not to love?

Le Baume, $90 for 50ml, Dior Beauty

This multi-purpose, gender-neutral moisturiser can be used anywhere on the body, but particularly areas prone to dryness such as the lips, elbows and hands. Formulated for sensitive skin, Le Baume is designed to restore damaged skin and in order to do so, it features centella asiatica extract, which is well-known for its super soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, along with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, squalane, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. TLDR; it's a gift anyone could appreciate.  

Bloom ceramic mug, $68, www.jenevievestudio.com

Who couldn't use a mug? But make it extra special with this one by local ceramic artist Jenevieve Woon that's both ergonomic and quirky.

2025 Year of the Snake Moon paper calendar, US$20 (S$27), www.jia-sung.com

For the Virgo obsessed with keeping track of time, why not get them a one-of-a-kind calendar? This one by New York-based Singapore illustrator Jia Sung is sure to be a conversation starter with its poetic illustration of nuwa, the Chinese goddess commonly associated with nature, fertility, order, and marriage.

Mother of pearl hand mirror, €336 (S$474), www.lorenzi-milano.com

This chic hand mirror by Italian artisan Lorenzi will help ensure Virgos look on point at all times - plus the mirror itself is essentially an objet d'art, being crafted out of mother-of-pearl. Bonus: it will easily fit into any bag or pocket.

Classiky paper sticky notes, $7, www.shopneighbour.com

Staying organised just became more fun with Japanese stationery-maker Classiky's cute sticky notes, no?

Deja Minuit eau de parfum, $630 for 100ml, Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta’s first fragrance collection under design whiz and former creative director Matthieu Blazy redefines luxury with singular bottles inspired by the rippling waters of Venice’s Grand Canal, complete with air bubbles in the glass. There are five scents in total in this collection, but our favourite is Deja Minuit - a sensual, sophisticated number that blends the heady notes of Madagascan geranium with the spicy warmth of Guatemalan cardamom. To be honest, we might just snag these (refillable) perfumes just for the stunning, sculptural vessels alone.

Georg Jensen Sky stainless steel water bottle, $100, www.finnishdesignshop.com

Staying hydrated just became a lot more chic - Danish design house Georg Jensen's Sky 500ml bottle comes with a practical leather strap that keeps the cap secure when open and doubles as a convenient carrying loop when closed.

Arts & Science nappa leather slides, ¥39,600 (S$346), www.online-intl.arts-science.com

If you're into the whole minimalist ethos of The Row, well you should look into Japanese lifestyle label Arts & Science. Famed in its home country for its curation of chic, well-made objects, they've branched out to creating their own line - these stylish nappa slippers are the perfect answer to any off days when you need to run errands in comfort without looking sloppy.

Polyester travel pouches, $45, Paper Bunny

I mean, let's face it, travel pouches help make all our lives easier and compartmentalised. Toss in wires, toiletries, perfume bottles, cosmetics - the list goes on. We like Paper Bunny's version - its water-resistant both on the inside and out (handy when there's a spill) - and is sold in a pair of two.
