If you’re searching for the best gifts for a Sagittarius, it pays to think a little, or a lot, outside the box. Those born under Sagittarius skies (between November 22 and December 21), aren’t much for material superficiality; the freewheeling fire sign seeks adventure and experiences. Whether the Sag in your life practically lives out of a suitcase or is in search of a new favorite pastime, you’ll want to look for a gift that speaks to their sense of worldly wonder.
“Sagittarians are free-spirited adventurers,” says astrologer Patty Kamson. “They’re always chasing what’s next, whether it’s a dream vacation or a new opportunity to learn something.” You can credit Sagittarius’ ruling planet, mighty gas giant Jupiter, for their inquisitive personalities. Like its cosmic ruler, Sag is in the pursuit of more. “Sagittarians love anything that plays to their adventurous and growth-oriented nature,” says Astrid Bly, an astrologer with California Psychics.

With this in mind, you can’t go wrong with giving Sag a travel-friendly gift to accompany them on their next adventure. Conversely, “they will dislike anything that interferes with their ‘on-the-go’ nature—like oversized items that they can’t bring with them or use,” says Bly. Practicality is key, and if you want to make like a Sag and go big and better, think “thoughtful luxury,” says Alex Cailo, astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc. “What it boils down to is usability but with an extravagant lens.”
If the Sag in your life doesn’t need nor want another physical token, experience gifts are a great alternative. With an experience gift, you’re giving them the chance to do something that they’ve never done before—and, better yet, to do it with you. “Items specifically geared towards their favorite hobbies or access to a class or course related to a subject they want to study will likely be deeply appreciated,” says Bly. So when looking for gifts for the Sagittarius in your life, think about their personal interests.

Shop the best gifts for Sagittarius
Your favorite Sagittarius might appreciate something to capture past trips and future sojourns. (My Sagittarius father documents basically every minute of our vacations.) An instant camera makes it easy to create tangible mementos of lived experience.
Give them something to mellow out after all their fiery adventures, like this magnesium aromatherapy spray from Alo Yoga. A few pumps delivers 45 mg relaxing magnesium, arnica, valerian, and more soothing oils. Perfect for unwinding in between jaunts.
A can’t-go-wrong gift for a jet-setting Sagittarius is a travel accessory. “A packing cube set would be a great stocking stuffer,” says Kamson. The REI Co-op cubes come in various sizes to tidily zip away bulky sweaters to smaller items like socks and undies, and the cubes are expandable to make room for souvenirs in their luggage.
The Shark FlexStyle is a blow dryer, curling iron, and hot air brush all in one—a boon for an impatient archer. It cuts styling time in half, and it comes with a storage bag that makes it ideal for a Sag to take on the go, wherever that might be.
If your Sag has a love for the outdoors, Kamson suggests hiking and camping gear like a daypack. The Osprey Daylite Pack—as the name suggests—is lightweight as well as water repellent. It also features a hip belt and padded straps to unburden your shoulders, and a mesh back panel to keep you cool on the hiking trail.
A jacket that won’t weigh down a Sag during winter travel is ideal. Patagonia’s Down Sweater Hoody is not only lightweight and packable, it’s also warm. It’s made from recycled materials and features 800-fill insulation and a water-repellent shell to weather any storm.
A tent is a little on the nose for an adventure-loving Sagittarius, but it’s a practical choice for backpackers. Camping expert Houston Taylor previously recommended the Marmot Limelight, which is neither too large nor too small, but just the right size for most campsites.
The Seniq Trailmix Pants are up for anything—perfect for the on-the-move Sag. According to Well+Good contributing writer Maura Jenkins, they transition seamlessly from the hiking trail to happy hour in a jiffy. Plus, they come in colorways that are as fun and vibrant as the vivacious sign.
If an energetic Sag relies on coffee, an inexpensive (and packable) coffee maker will help fuel their fire while they’re in transit. The AeroPress comes with the recommendation of Jordan Hardin, director of food and beverage at Alfred. It’s fast, easy to use, and it brews cafe-quality coffee.
Indulge your Sagittarius’ adventurous palate with a snack-based subscription box from Universal Yums. A box packs sweet and salty treats from far-flung locations like the U.K., Italy, and South Korea, so the zodiac sign can taste the world without leaving home.
“A Sagittarius likes books with interesting perspectives,” says Kamson, who suggests Untamed by Glennon Doyle. In the 2020 memoir, The Momastery founder shares her story that led to her breaking free from societal expectations and finally reclaiming her voice—which any Sagittarius can appreciate.
“A subscription to Babbel to learn a foreign language is something a Sagittarius would love,” says Kamson. Babbel offers 6-month, 12-month, and lifetime subscriptions in over a dozen languages, including Portuguese, Indonesian, and Turkish.
“For Sagittarius, consider cultural experiences—like tickets to a local festival or a concert,” says Kamson. “They would even love a tour of their city.” AirBnB offers experiences across the world to immerse your Sag in the culture of a given place. Cooking classes, coffee tastings, fortune readings—there’s so much to choose from.

Fact: Winter weather can be *brutal* on your skin. Between the dry indoor heat and the freezing winds outside, it’s no wonder that your usual skincare routine might not be cutting it lately. But don’t give up on your glowy goals—keeping your skin hydrated in the colder months is possible with the right products, like this Clinique Moisture Surge skincare set.
This set includes not one but two hydration heroes: the Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator and the Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator. Together, they deliver lightweight, non-greasy moisture to keep your skin feeling dewy and fresh all day. Added bonus? The set is $45 off until the end of the month.
Originally $135, $90 until Jan. 1
Pros:
- Lightweight yet hydrating formula
- Packed with hydrating ingredients
- Layers well under makeup
Cons:
- Expensive when not on sale
Let’s start with the the iconic Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. This gel-cream powerhouse is basically the skincare equivalent of drinking several full Stanley cups of water, thanks to a blend of glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and aloe, which work in tandem to hydrate, soothe, and plump. Plus, the gel is super lightweight and flawlessly blends into skin without leaving behind an oily residue, health writer and editor Jessie Van Amburg says.
“Don’t let the thin, light texture fool you,” Van Amburg says. “This baby is potent. The name ‘moisture surge’ isn’t for nothing. It’s deeply hydrating yet gentle—which is good for my sensitive AF skin.” Translation? It’s a foolproof fit for anyone who wants long-lasting hydration without the sticky, heavy feeling of traditional creams.
Van Amburg’s biggest qualm with the OG? That it didn’t contain SPF. Enter: Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator. It combines the same lightweight hydration Van Amburg loves about the original with built-in sun protection. Think of it as your multi-tasking morning moisturizer—it absorbs quickly, layers well under makeup, and shields your skin from harmful UV rays. And, the sheer finish means no chalky white cast, making it ideal for all skin tones.
What makes this duo a true winter skincare MVP, though, is how seamlessly both products will fit into your routine. Use the SPF Sheer Hydrator to lock in moisture and protect your skin before heading out for the day, then let the Replenishing Hydrator work its magic overnight. Together, they’ll create a 24/7 hydration system that will help keep your skin glowing all winter long.

First impressions
As someone who loves to whip up a good, quick, and healthy meal, air fryers have always been appealing to me. They’re truly a “set it and forget it” appliance that takes under 30 minutes to have a delicious meal hot and ready for you. A win is a win, right?
The Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Air Fryer does all the things we expect of any regular air fryer, with the added bonus of being aesthetic so you don’t have to stuff it away in a cabinet. It currently comes in two sizes: A 3-qt volume for your smaller kitchen needs and the more spacious 6-qt option, which I tested for this review. It heats up to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit to allow maximum crisping and roasting. Best of all, both sizes come in a multitude of fun colors—like cornflower blue, sage green, and lavender—so you’re guaranteed to find the gadget that will add the perfect touch to your kitchen space.
My review of the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Air Fryer
I tested the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Air Fryer in rose—a gorgeous, soft blush pink adorned with a golden handle. The air fryer has four preset cooking methods: air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate. Another perk is it’s also an easy clean-up with a dishwasher-safe basket and insert. If you don’t have a dishwasher, don’t worry, the basket is pretty easy to clean by hand, as well.
I tested out both the air fry and roast options and I was ecstatic with my results. I utilized the air fryer to cook homemade turkey meatballs, which turned out as juicy as could be. I also tried something new and roasted two steaks, which both were cooked surprisingly well and evenly. Lastly, I air-fried vegetables and frozen french fries, which all came out exactly how they should’ve: The veggies were perfectly charred and tender, while the fries came out hot and crispy.
Using the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Air Fryer is pretty self-explanatory. It comes already assembled. You need only plug it in, throw your items in, turn it on, and let the machine do the rest. Everything from roasting vegetables to air frying crispy fries or proteins was a breeze with this machine. The air fryer also comes with a booklet that provides instructions as well as a cooking chart to guide even the most novice of cooks through making quick and delicious meals.
Final thoughts
Overall, the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Air Fryer is a gorgeous blend of design and functionality that makes cooking a pain-free experience. It’s amazing for quick and healthy cooking—and honestly just adds a flirty, feminine flair to the kitchen. Say goodbye to the basic industrial appliances that take up space and hello to a fun and gorgeous cooking experience.
