Still stuck on what to give your one-and-only? Look for insight in the stars! Here are a few gift ideas designed to bring out the best in those we love the most.

Aries
The Ram loves a challenge and craves direction for his intellectual energies as well as his frustrations. Consider gifts that can help channel the Arian drive to find solutions, like computer games and puzzles. A dirt biking trip or boxing lessons would be wonderful outlets for his restless fighting spirit (and they might help keep it directed elsewhere), and any adventure would be welcomed. The Aries loves to exercise his wit, his tongue and his body. The first two he's likely to take care of on his own, but you can help him with the last with a bicycle, roller blades or a gym membership. You might also aim to satisfy his need for exploration with adventurous gifts like scuba diving lessons, a helicopter ride or a back country camping trip.

Taurus
The Bull is fiercely independent and takes some time in deciding exactly what she wants, mostly because it's important to her that all relevant information is weighed carefully. These traits coupled with their love of shopping make Taureans excellent candidates for gift certificates. They are drawn to luxury and the material world, but watch their money carefully, so a blank check to a favorite store is a dream come true for the typical Taurus. If you have your heart set on choosing a more personal gift, remember that The Bull is passionate about nature, art, music and beauty. CDs, paintings, concert tickets and all things aesthetically pleasing will win her heart. Really, it's hard to go wrong when choosing for the Taurus -- she loves things, particularly fine things, so much that jewelry, cashmere, chocolates and smart phones can all be equally satisfying. Just beware the Bull's expensive tastes: she has fine taste and will appreciate you for yours, but she'll also see through any attempt to scrimp and scrounge (remember, she wouldn't buy these for herself!). Also fiercely sensual, a more intimate gift will also be appreciated. But keep in mind that while deeply passionate, Taureans usually gravitate toward the traditional rather than the experimental.

Gemini
The energetic twins are always in need of new interests. Help your Gemini with new ideas for his restless energy, like new hobbies, games, classes or events. Just avoid anything time-consuming; the Twins will move onto new interests soon enough. Gemini are analytical and intellectual, and they have an appetite for knowledge that they can be somewhat lazy about satisfying. You might give them a nudge with a gift of books on topics of interest, or maybe add a spoonful of sugar with books on tape (or CD) for the car. The Twins love attention; they'll lap up thoughtful gifts designed for them or anything it is clear you put a lot of thought and energy into. Above all else Gemini are childlike. Appeal to their playfulness with whimsical toys, electronics or anything that gives their child permission to reign free.

Cancer
Any crab needs a cozy shell, and the Cancer loves to adorn his home with items that are both decorative and comfortable. Contribute to the Cancer's nest with throw pillows, kitchen supplies, wall hangings and candles. Her imaginative and romantic nature will respond to art, literature, movies and books. In the case of the Cancer, ideal gift books are narrative rather than informative; consider fiction, classics, plays and even poetry. Sometimes, The Crab makes gift-giving quite simple. She likes to align herself with a cause, a hero or a team and probably has obsessions in politics or sports that are easy to identify. Cancers are givers and ask for little in return. Your presents (and your love) will certainly be well-received. In fact your biggest challenge this holiday may be watching that your generosity doesn't embarrass your Cancer.

Leo
Leos are naturally creative, and they act on their fancies, so they're likely to appreciate a creative gift. Appeal to their creative nature with art sets, singing lessons or theatre tickets, or create a meaningful gift yourself. If you do plan an original creation, make sure it is crafted with love and meaning in mind -- the Leo is savagely sensitive to stinginess.

The Lion also loves children and will no doubt be delighted to help you plan gifts for all the young ones on your list. You might sponsor a child for the holidays or participate in a toy drive -- it will spark the Leo's sense of generosity and help indulge his playfulness. You might also leave this lover of pleasure purring with sensual gifts, massages or a day at the spa.

Virgo
The Virgo's curiosity, analytical intelligence and love of language make books an ideal gift option. And if you're looking for something suggestive or intimate, literature may satisfy that need as well. A perfectionist and people-pleaser by nature, your Virgo will probably be open to books on lovemaking techniques or sensuality, as long as she doesn't take it as criticism. The Virgin's attention to detail usually yields a penchant for drawing, model-making or painting. If your Virgo has not explored these talents, your holiday gift of classes, supplies or instructional books might nudge them toward a rewarding hobby.
