The Sober Curator 2025 Holiday Gift Guide – Zodiac Edition

Shopping for loved ones can be an overwhelming task, and that is why I, Analisa Six, have come to help aid in your search using the art of Astrology. Now, don’t worry, friends, you don’t have to know anything about Astrology to use the Zodiac to help aid in your search. I have done all of the work for you.

Below, you will find a list I have curated based on the December Horoscope charts for each sign. Each gift is catered to either the Sun or the rising sign, depending on where Venus is transiting in the chart for December 2025. Venus is the planet that rules gifts, prosperity, and good fortune, and can be a great planet to look towards when it comes to seeing what gifts the universe wants us to lean into at various times of year.
