If you aren’t sure what the late August and early September babies in your life want for birthday gifts, have you considered shopping by their horoscope? Thoughtful Virgo gifts aren’t as straightforward as a T-shirt with their astrological symbol stamped on it, of course, but you might be able to find some gifting inspiration by taking a closer look at your Virgo friends’ zodiac sign.

Ruled by the planet Mercury and the element earth, Virgo is considered a sharp, hardworking astrological sign with a tendency to overthink. While they may worry a little too much, they mean well: Virgos can be extremely helpful, caring friends (and are often represented in astrology by a generous earth goddess). If you have a friend who goes out of their way to be there for you or steps in to help solve your problems (even if you didn’t ask), they’re probably a Virgo. 

With all that in mind, we’ve put together a handy astrology gift guide to help you find the best birthday (or just-because) gift for your Virgo loved ones. The sun is still in Leo, but Virgo season is right around the corner—kicking off on August 23—so it’s time to get to browsing. Read on to find the best Virgo gifts to show this earth sign some much-needed love.
