There are so many wonderful things to say about Aries, the powerful and original-minded zodiac sign that graces those born between March 21 to April 19. Symbolized by a ram, this fire sign is marked by strength, innovation, courage, and quick wit. It’s the first sign in the zodiac calendar because, seriously, these bold leaders could never let another sign be first (yes, they’re confident enough to go toe to toe with the “me first”-iness of Leos!).
Good in a tough spot, optimistic, and self-reliant, Aries does not fear a challenge… so we brought that energy with us as we thought about what kind of gifts to get Aries signs for a special occasion. And it’s a challenge, indeed: These impatient rams aren’t content to sit around and wait for you (looking at you, Libras).
We wanted to find items that spoke to the virtues, and, yup, some of the vices of this sign — from power colors to commonly enjoyed activities to emblematic gemstones and flowers. Here are a few of our favorite ideas that celebrate the uniqueness of your favorite ram.
This necklace has a charm featuring the Aries ram in gold or silver alongside the traditional Aries gemstone, the diamond — and since regular diamonds are super expensive, the artist has gone with a more affordable, rustic Herkimer diamond. Choose your finish and the length of your chain — we know Aries love to be in control.
Honeysuckle is one of two traditional Aries flowers, so this sweetly-scented candle is perfect for the ram in your life who maybe needs a little help remembering to slow down and smell the roses (or, well, honeysuckle!). They’ll enjoy the fresh, citrusy floral fragrance for up to 60 hours of burn time.

365 Daily Writing Prompts
‘The Mindfulness Journal: Daily Practices, Writing Prompts, and Reflections for Living in the Present Moment’ by S.J. Scott and Barrie Davenport
Aries is a natural leader who inspires others with their creativity, brilliant personality, unflagging enthusiasm, and sharp intuition. The downside of that is that this tends to be a sign that acts first and asks questions later. This mindfulness journal is just the thing to help them temper that natural instinct.
Aries is a fire sign, signifying passion, spontaneity, and creativity — so we think they’ll appreciate having this unique fire feature for their patio, poolside, or outdoor entertaining space. Powered by a gel type of fuel, this lantern creates instant ambiance and can even be used for making s’mores!
We’ve heard about a Little Black Dress, but if you’re an audacious Aries, we highly recommend having a Little Red Dress, too. Not only is red Aries’ power color, but, while they may not be attention-motivated Leos, they certainly don’t mind being the center of attention — and that’s what they’ll command in this fabulous crushed velvet classic.
Some people wear their star sign on their sleeve, but why not wear it on your keys? (Because you know your Aries has to be in the driver’s seat!) This fun, original keychain features a ram’s head, as well as a customizable birthstone (that’s either an aquamarine or a diamond for an Aries) and your initial of choice.
Because come on, who couldn’t use a pair of silly socks? Silly socks are great! One pair has a celestial theme, while the other features more specific Aries imagery. We particularly like that the pair with ram heads on the side has a varsity look — perfect for this famously athletic sign.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, not to mention an Aries’ birthstone. We’re obsessed with this dual-stone Herkimer diamond ring: The hammered metal ring, prominently displaying two natural stones wrapped in gold-fill wire, is both raw and modern — just the thing for this bold, trendsetting sign!
It's no surprise that headstrong Aries rules — yup, you guessed it! — the head, scalp, and hair, and as such, is a sign prone to ailments like migraines, headaches, and even dandruff.
This amazing scalp duo features the brand's award-winning Aceite de Moska oil (a non-greasy blend of açai oil, aloe vera, castor oil, and chia seed oil) and a scalp massager to really get all the nourishing benefits in while blissfully removing product build-up and flakes. It's the "high-quality home solution to any of your hair issues," says one of our editors.
We love the retro look of this framed piece, which is part of an astrological fruit series by Deny Designs. Featuring a hand daintily holding aloft an orange, the picture has “Aries” written above and, if you look closely, you’ll see the Aries symbol tattooed on the subject’s wrist.
Aries is good at whatever they put their minds to… everything, that is, except knowing when to slow down. Remind them to take a — lovely, aromatherapy-inspired — breather with this lavender self-care kit meant to pamper their hectic souls. Made with all-natural ingredients, this set of soothing spa products will help them relax and recharge.
Let your Aries be in their element (literally) with this fire pit. This 22-inch design is durable and rust-resistant, and is ideal for gathering friends together for a lively backyard gathering, taking a minute to unwind and reflect after a long day, or even outdoor cooking!
Aries is a natural adventurer and thrill-seeker. Help them keep track of their marvelous exploits with this creative, interactive world map. Once they’ve traveled to a country, they just scratch off the gold coating. This is particularly good if they have a wanderlusting Sagitarrius somewhere in their chart as well!
We love the whimsical design of a proud, celestial Aries woman on the cover of this journal. Lined, cream-colored pages are perfect for writing down notes in meetings, writing stories (did you know writers Hans Christian Andersen and Emile Zola were both Aries?), or simply keeping track of their comings, goings, thoughts, and feelings.
Mars is Aries’ ruling planet, and it makes sense: Named for the Roman god of war, the Red Planet should control such a headstrong, powerful, and sometimes aggressive star sign. We love this bold but truly beautiful watercolor painting that depicts the rich red hues of this celestial body.
