Libras: Everybody loves them, but they can be very indecisive when it comes to shopping, and too self-conscious to ask for a gift! So, we’re doing them a big favor and making this birthday shopping list for them. The lovely Libra in your life adores being pampered and spoiled, so get your wallet ready!

Libra is the only zodiac sign symbolized by an inanimate object: the scales. Balance is a theme closely tied to this air sign, and these faceted, solid oak blocks bring balance to your Libra friend’s space, allowing them to create beautiful sculptures—and then change them.

Libra, the sign of justice, is an amazing advocate; get them a gift that speaks to that side of their personality. This bestseller written by a lawyer who's fought tirelessly for justice, equality and criminal justice reform would make a great gift.

Libra loves to be spoiled, but that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. Create a mixtape with music that reflects your favorite shared memories or songs that simply remind you of them. Or, check out the Libra playlist the Astro Guide team created that celebrates everyone’s favorite romantic, popular, and trendy air sign!

Libras have been called lazy by astrologers in the past, but we at Astro Guide think a beauty nap is self care. Rest is key to a happy life! What better than a face mask to to lounge in after a busy day?
