Aries: March 21 - April 20

Aries women are notorious hot-heads, with fiery tempers and a fiercely guarded independence. They are constantly seeking new thrills to fulfil their passion for life, approaching each hurdle with a real enthusiasm. They love adventure and excitement in which they can unleash her rambunctious side. However, Aries women also possess a uniquely naïve and trusting side to their character as they tend to believe the best of people.

Relationships: Aries women crave their independence so they need a ‘real man’ who is not easily intimidated. Their biggest turn-off is a possessive relationship as it stifles their strong sense of identity. Because they are an impulsive star sign, there are frequent accidents and dramas surrounding their love life.

Perfect Present: The One-On-One Pole-Dancing Lesson. A challenge with a naughty edge to it!

Taurus: April 21 - May 20

Taurus women present a placid, collected exterior. Despite their reputation as socialisers, they are more detached than other star signs and thus can sometimes be misread as stubborn, snobby or boring. They are capable of shutting off from the world around them and keep people at an arm’s length. Taurus women enjoy indulging their extravagant tastes and place great emphasis upon emotional and financial security. They are a sensual star sign closely affiliated with the earth and nature.

Relationships: They invest hugely in emotional relationships, yet tend to allow their partners only as close as they’ll allow. Taurus women are often accused of being ‘closed books’ but their feelings run deep.

Perfect Present: The Chocolate Making Workshop for two as it is a sensual, indulgent pleasure.

Gemini: May 21 - June 20

This is a mischievous, flirtatious, chatterbox of a star sign which lives life at the full- throttle pace of a racehorse. Gemini women are curious characters, constantly seeking to expand their knowledge and increase their intelligence. As a result, they have a tendency to flit from topic to topic in conversation at a dizzying speed. They are multi-faceted and talented on many levels, both intellectually and emotionally.

Relationships: They require a partner who can match their physical and mental activity with an equal passion for life. But be warned- Geminis get thrills out of playing games.

Perfect Present: The Jet Set Day. A truly extravagant day which will leave even the most talkative Gemini speechless.

Cancer: June 21 - July 22

This is a peculiarly contradictory star sign, as Cancer women are compassionate, caring and generous with their loved ones, yet also moody and insecure. They are angst-ridden characters requiring constant reassurance and intimacy but it is this changeable nature which makes them so fascinating and mysterious. They are genuine homebodies and prioritise family and love.

Relationships: This sign places the greatest emphasis upon love and romance. Therefore, they are extremely responsive to romancing, but no other sign takes it so badly when a relationship turns sour.

Perfect Present: The Cupid’s London Eye exclusive as they will appreciate such a romantic, intimate gesture.

Leo: July 23 - August 21

Leo women have a great zest for life, and it is this enthusiasm that makes them social butterflies around which people seem to gravitate. They have an inclination to be self-centred and occasionally pretentious but place great emphasis upon their friends. Just be careful not to trample on their ego! They require frequent compliments and constant attention, but such efforts will be rewarded as they are fun-loving, ambitious and unique.

Relationships: Leo women are vivacious and, as a result, they attract lovers easily. They require frequent massages to their demanding ego and tend to become involved in intense relationships.

Perfect Present: Spoil your Leo with the Deluxe Short Break. Then you can lavish them with your undivided attention!

Virgo: August 22 - September 23

This is an immensely independent zodiac sign that takes great pleasure in thinking logically and approaching life analytically. Virgos make good friends because they are truthful, loyal, rational and always willing to help solve one’s problems. However, they can frequently appear cold and detached as they tend to keep their emotional distance.

Relationships: Virgo women may appear controlling but this is merely because they are trying to be helpful as they seek to organise their partner’s life. Their motives are never malicious and they are straightforward in their actions.

Perfect Present: The Silk Passport Holder and Luggage Tag. Inject the Virgo’s love of practicality with a dash of glamour.

Libra: September 24 - October 23

Libran women are emotionally impulsive and sexually alluring as they place great emphasis upon good food, expensive wine, and extravagant entertaining. Although they have a tendency towards laziness, often being content to just go with the flow rather than seize active leadership, they are continually charming, sophisticated and diplomatic in their relations with others.

Relationships: This star sign loves being in love. They tend to be beautiful, and very aware of the power this beauty grants them. They are inclined to experiment sexually and therefore have a tendency to be adulterous. Even the most faithful of Librans are terrible flirts.

Perfect Present: The New Yorker Pearl Cravatte as it is an elegant piece of jewellery that will indulge a Libran’s highbrow taste.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

Scorpios pride themselves on their loyalty, as they are a reliable star sign which plays a powerful role in the lives of those close to them. They are particularly complex, presenting a calm and collected exterior which masks a mass of emotions. Scorpio women have a strong streak of jealousy in their natures and will bear grudges for a very long time.

Relationships: They are loyal and honest companions in their love affairs. It is important for Scorpio women to feel that they are regarded as sexy, even if they do not always channel their passion into the sexual element of a relationship.

Perfect Present: The Marriott Pamper Day, to unleash their sensual side.

Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21

A keen traveller, the Sagittarius woman craves bold adventure in the great outdoors. They are a popular star sign due to their broad-minded approach to life and genuine enjoyment in chatting to a variety of people. They are extremely easy-going and relaxed, enjoying the simple pleasures which life offers. Sagittarians seek a higher purpose in life and thus are fascinated by the teachings of philosophy and religion.

Relationships: This star sign is sincere and open in relationships. They may act playful but are actually searching for a deeper bond. Mutual independence is vital for them, which can present obstacles in their pursuit for true love as they shy away from emotional independence.

Perfect Present: The Big Cat Encounter will provide Sagittarians with that dose of adrenaline which they crave!

Capricorn: December 22 - January 19

Whilst Capricorn women are accused of plodding through life, this practical and hardworking work ethos means that they excel in their ambitions. They are driven to achieve by factors like money, status and power, associating professional success with personal happiness. Capricorns are loyal friends who always first to lend their assistance when the going gets tough. However, their conservative attitude means they are intolerant towards those who do not fulfil their high expectations.

Relationships: Capricorns are cautious towards love but once they’ve allowed their cool exterior to melt, they are totally committed. Accordingly, Capricorn women hate casual sex as they require a certain level of dedication from their partner.

Perfect Present: The Discover Your Family History present will appeal to the Capricorn’s organised nature as it presents a fresh challenge.

Aquarius: January 20 - February 18

Women born under this symbol may appear eccentric and out of touch with daily life, as their highly intelligent and futuristic minds are always focusing on exciting new thoughts and goals. They are committed humanitarians who are very sensitive to the feelings of others and take a tolerant view towards mankind. Aquarian women can be dismissed as cold fish because their unconventional mentality means they come across as aloof.

Relationship: This detached star sign shies away from emotional intimacy so it is difficult to start a romance with an Aquarian. With patience though, they are sensual and imaginative lovers.

Perfect Present: The Fusion Food Platter. A quirky gift to reflect an Aquarian’s alternative tastes.

Pisces: February 19 - March 20

What a dreamer! This star sign is a gentle, sensitive soul who focuses upon the intrinsically romantic elements of life: poetry, sunsets and flowers. They detest discipline and but not because of laziness. Rather they prefer to drift through life, focusing upon their ideals and giving pleasure to their loved ones. Pisces is a highly emotional sign which hates which hates being confronted with the harsh realities of life.

Relationships: With such emotional depth, it is unsurprising that Pisceans are sensual and caring partners. They are uninhibited, generous and magnetic lovers.

Perfect Present: The Poet’s Toolkit allows a Pisces romantic to express their innermost thoughts.
