Do you get them a pet cobra? A centuries-old locket only they can open? You know you want it to be a memorable gift, and we’re here to help.
With the end of the year approaching, you’d better start to think about what to get your favorite Scorpio. These water signs are known for their intensity and passion, which means that if they don’t like your gift, they’ll just smile enigmatically and begin secretly plotting revenge. Trust us, you don’t really want to get on their bad side.
But what exactly is a perfect Scorpio’s birthday gift? Do you get them a pet cobra? A centuries-old locket only they can open? Or do you plan an elaborate weekend-long getaway filled with all things Halloween-ey? You know you want it to be a memorable gift, and we’re here to help.
One thing you should probably know about a Scorpio’s passion is that when they’re into something, they’re probably really into it. They’re known to be just a tad obsessive about their interests. If they’re into High School Musical, they’ve got all the routines perfectly choreographed and ready to complete at a moment’s notice (yes, we’re talking about the soundtrack too). If they’re a makeup geek, their knowledge of gel eyeliners is going to be so encyclopedic, it’ll scare you a little bit.

They’ve probably been hinting at what they want for their birthday too—remember when your Scorpio buddy was talking about a book series she’s been meaning to read? They’re indirectly telling you that’s what they want for their birthday. So before you set out on a quest to find the perfect gift for your Scorpio, remember, that you really have to nail this one.
Dark-red shades are known to be a lucky color for Scorpios, so for their birthday, treat them to a lipstick in shades of either burgundy, oxblood, or maroon. Stunna Lip Paint Longwear by Fenty Beauty is renowned for its one-stroke intensity (remind you of someone?), long-wear matte finish, and an unrivaled precision wand. The best thing about this gift? It’s so weightless, your Scorpio friend might completely forget they’re wearing it and still look extra-kissable.
Even if your favorite Scorpio isn’t the type to wear sunglasses indoors, at night, they’ll really appreciate a pair of cool shades. Grab them a pair of Sunski shades so that they can get out there and soak up the coastal sun—our favorite is the Yuba. Named after the Yuba River in the Northern Sierra, these sunglasses are unisex, come in diverse options, and have stellar UV protection.
Help your friend transform their room into a mysterious living space with the Summer Time Pillow set by Jungalow—they won’t be able to get enough. Designed by Justina Blakeney, this set is all about spending much-needed rest and recreation in the sun, sea, and home. And while these two pillows look adorable on their own, placing them together will make the sun come full circle.
The retinol-infused KNC eye mask will give the Scorpio in your life those fresh, hydrated, smooth, and bright eyes that are totally ‘gram and glam ready. And, best of all, it does it all without the chemicals. With retinol to refine texture and stimulate blood flow and aloe to soothe and reduce redness, the eye mask is au naturel through and through. Give the mask 15 to 20 minutes, and it’ll give your Scorpio friend twinkle-all-day eyes; it’s like a shortcut to eight hours of beauty sleep.
Don’t know which hair care product to get for your favorite Scorpio’s birthday? Ask fellow Scorpio Tracee Ellis Ross—her haircare line Pattern Beauty will definitely help you out. Their on-the-go kit includes hydration shampoo, heavy conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and a bonus jelly cosmetic bag. It’s the perfect bag of treats if they’re looking to try new products and hoping to bring moisture to their curls. Another bonus? Each tube is refillable and entirely eco-conscious.
Has your Scorpio friend recently gone green? Even better. The Grapeseed Company is a one-of-a-kind skincare brand that creates sustainable products free of animal testing but full of luxury. The best gift you can get for your Scorpio is their Cali Surf Sea Salt Pedicure Spa at Home Kit, which consists of lotion, scrubs, bath salts, a foot file, and instructions on how to make an at-home spa experience better than the salon.
Invented in California, wetsuits always make an appearance during Scorpio birthday dates. And since Redondo Beach’s Body Glove is known for popularizing the neoprene wetsuit in California and beyond, there’s no better gift for your favorite spontaneous adventurer. Body Glove has dozens of full and spring suits to choose from—all of them are designed specifically for surfing and riding the waves year-round.
Entertain your beloved Scorpios’ tastebuds with a tasty blend from Art of Tea. A delectable dessert infused with sweet notes of honey, caramel, and fresh-baked pear, this tea will help them get through Saggitarius season, Capricorn season, and beyond. P.S. It’s completely caffeine-free.
If you want your gift to impress but also value sustainability, ditch the regular mats and buy a cork yoga mat from Embrace Yoga instead. This eco-friendly gift is always a hit at Scorpio birthdays—it helps them stay green-conscious while yoga heals their soul. Plus, these natural rubber backer mats are easy to roll up, take up little-to-no space, and feature a non-slip cork-topped surface layer.
Think you know your Scorpio friends? Then you’re well aware that they love spending time outside. How about getting them something that enhances their experience outdoors and keeps their spirits brightened all season long— yes, even when it’s Leo season. Nexgrill’s Fortress 2.0 table-top gas grill is constructed with durability in mind, but it’s small enough to be portable; perfect for your favorite Scorpio-on-the-go.
Help your favorite Scorpio become more sustainable on their birthday by getting them the gift of growing their own food. This organic kitchen herb gardening kit from Williams Sonoma is a perfect way to expand on eco-friendly ideologies, and once they start growing their own herb garden, they’ll never run out of fresh organics.
