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 Physics.

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.

REI Co-Op Expandable Packing Cube Set — $45.00
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.

Shark FlexStyle Multi-Styler with Storage Bag — $230.00
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.
Osprey Daylite Pack — $65.00
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.
Patagonia Down Sweater Hoody — $329.00
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.
Marmot Limelight 2P — $299.00
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.
Seniq Trailmix Pant — $148.00
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.
“Untamed” by Glennon Doyle — $15.00

AirBnb Experiences
“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.
