 Horoscope
with Lilith
As the season of unreason's present-seeking frenzy escalates to a mind-numbing last minute rush, here (for those who could do with a few more clues about what to give who) are more astrologically acceptable gift ideas to inspire those still hot to shop - or ready to drop...
Aries: Aries femmes like exciting presents - fireworks, holidays or Barbara Hodgson's No Place For A Lady: Tales Of Adventurous Women Travellers; the flammable Ram man enjoys chill out accessories - a bedside fridge, sheepskin floor pillow or nice iced bottle of chili vodka.
Taurus: Treat sensual Tauran earth goddesses to Crabtree & Evelyn's Gardeners' Soap and After Work Grains or a raffia embroidered food cover. Indulge Bully boys' healthy appetites with Quaff 2003 wine shopping guide or the Eat Your Way To Great Sex Handbook.
Gemini: Gemini girls like ephemeral presents: the latest Swatch, or Venus In Spurs, The Secret Female Fear Of Commitment, Or Why You Head For The Hills When Love Comes To Town. The latest computerised boy toy from Bang & Olufsen would delight Gemini guys.
Cancer: Crabs love history, home, the moon and the sea - so pamper lunar ladies with Paspaley pearls, a shell belt or feng shui turtle representing the ancestors. Give Crablads The Lunar Men by Jenny Uglow or a romantic flowing white silk shirt.
Leo: La Lioness would laugh heartily at Andrew Weldon's I'm So Sorry Little Man, I Thought You Were A Hand Puppet; and Lord Lions majesty would be flattered by an offer to be his slave for 24 hours - better make that a month.
Virgo: Make elegant Virgo girls feel special with luxury bed linen and towels (white of course) or a handwoven Madagascan shopping basket. Hard working male Mercurians tend to need nerve soothers like a CD of crystal bowl music or a stainless steel cocktail shaker.
Libra: Both Lady Libra and the Libran mister love their house filled with fresh flowers. And chocolate - preferably from Chocolat, where they pray over it so you won't gain any weight. And beauty products - like Sundari's Neem & Green Tea Cleansing Mask.
Scorpio: A spicebox, Ian Hemphill's Spice Notes or Moroccan spice room spray would suit piquant Madame Scorpia; Sir Scorpion would relish Dr Gabrielle Morrissey's Urge or The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, described as amoral, cunning, ruthless and instructive. Though on second thoughts...
Sagittarius: Archers always support just causes, so give Sista Sag Arundhati Roy's The Algebra of Infinite Justice or Kiehl's rich Crème de Corps to keep those fab Sag legs gleaming. Archerinos would appreciate David Attenborough's DVD Wildlife Wonders of the World.
Capricorn: Contessa Capricornia prefers classic styles by quality designers - or amuse her with Ageing Disgracefully by Joan Savers; Cap chaps have sensitive skin so consider Tahitian vanilla bean soap. All Goats would happily accept an abundance-attracting sculpture of obstacle-demolishing, elephant-headed Ganesh.
Aquarius: A Fruzac Edible Xmas Card made from tropical fruit leathers would probably delight women Waterpourers. And since Uranian blokes like unusual reading, try The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace by Margaret Westheim or Erica McWilliam's What About Uranus, Or How Are You On The Whole?
Pisces: Give Miss Fish a set of flower remedies or pure, preservative-free Aqua Spa skin food enriched with colloidal silver and perfumed with Vanilla Orchid & Coconut. Fish fellows probably wouldn't mind a diver's watch, dolphin body-board or CrabTree & Evelyn Sienna aftershave.
