Hello, soft girl summer! Cancer season kicks in from June 21 to July 22, so if you’re lucky enough to have a crab in your corner, now’s the time to spoil these nurturing spirits with some thoughtful gifts for Cancer. It’s prime time to turn the spotlight on them for a change, as these sweet, sensitive folks usually take on a more behind-the-scenes, caretaking role in their group and deserve their time to shine.

It’s no coincidence that Cancer season also begins with the summer equinox — as water signs, they love nothing more than heading out to the beach or lake to reenergize and soothe their kind souls (bonus points if it’s with their loved ones). Whether hosting a backyard barbecue for their favorite people, laying out and relaxing surfside (with the highest SPF, of course, as moonlight and not sunlight is their specialty), or making new memories via a spectacular trip, you have many opportunities to show your appreciation — just make sure it’s from the heart.

They’re also a cardinal sign, which means they’re fun action-takers, so don’t expect any stereotypical wallflowers here! They love a good get-together, so things that help them let off some steam, whether that’s through a delicious meal or some much-deserved cuddle time bingeing their fave shows, will be treasured forever. Amazing skincare, sentimental jewelry, tech that elevates their #TeamCozy streaming evenings, or anything that feels like home is also sure to tug at their heartstrings — and they’re all in our list below, so you can go right ahead and Add to Cart.

Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner

If your Cancer wears jewelry, there’s a likely chance that their chosen pieces have major sentimental value. This Amazon hit is a super easy-to-use ultrasonic jewelry cleaner that restores even the most precious, well-worn heirlooms to their original brilliance.

Great for all gems (except pearls), glasses, and even electric shavers, this is a thoughtful — and editor-loved! — little tool that is sure to get a lot of use. Throw in this highly-rated liquid gem cleaning solution and make it a bundle.

Fire Max 11

Now, if the goal is to really impress your little Crab, what about one of the biggest, lightest tablets with resolution so sharp, it can cut glass (we're assuming)? Amazon's latest iteration of its world-renowned Fire tablet, the Fire Max 11, is just what your homebody Cancer needs when they yearn to take their digital creature comforts on the go.

Its 11-inch screen features 2.4 million pixels so they're sure to see each frame of their fave true crime docuseries in crystal-clear detail. It also has a 14-hour battery life and is engineered to be 3x as durable as the 10th-gen iPad, which means flying and travel time just got way less painful and tons more enjoyable.

Available in either 64 and 128 GB with or without ads, you can also make their day by purchasing the productivity bundle, which includes an added keyboard and stylus.

Eye Gloss 101 Multi-Use Eye + Cheek Glaze

Not only is #mermaidcore the hottest trend for summer 2023, but it's also par for the course for this Water sign. Not only are we embracing all things metallic, slinky, and ethereal in fashion, but our beauty looks are getting the Ariel treatment, too, starting with this low-risk upgrade courtesy of Julep (and we're sure your nostalgic Cancer, who probably was first in line for the live-action movie, will agree).

The translucent glaze adds a swath of subtle, pretty shimmer wherever your heart desires — we love it on our lids and cheekbones — so all you're left with is a dewy, Disney princess-like glow that brings all princes and merfolk to your yard. So irresistible.

Excursion Votive Gift Set

The nurturer of the zodiac, Cancers deserve some blissful me-time now and again. What better way to enable these moments of self-care than with a slew of elevated products? Archipelago's legion of devotees attests to its high-quality bath and body items, which find their roots crafted in Santa Monica using only natural essential oils and botanicals (and, ergo, make us feel a thousand times cooler, in a boho-chic, I-summer-in-Carmel sort of way).

We especially love its sleek candle curations, which are, in my opinion, the décor version of quiet luxury. The Excursion set, in particular, is pitch-perfect for evoking (and quelling) those getaway hankerings for the summer — Havana, Positano, Tulum... you get the picture.

Toastie Press

Ah, what is a slice of toast but a bistro-worthy panini ~in disguise~? Well, because it's truly a wonderful time to be alive sometimes, we now have this clever toaster insert from Revolution that transforms your run-of-the-mill toaster into a gourmet sandwich-making machine.

I have yet to see a bond stronger than the one Cancerians have with their comfort food, and this just might be the thing that bumps you to the top of their favorite person list. The Toastie Press elevates regular sandwiches into pressed panini perfection by a simple mechanism: All it takes is for you to stack your toast and fixin's — i.e. cheese, eggs, banana and Nutella spreads, you name it — inside the Toastie Press, insert it into your toaster slot, and voilá — the melt/quesadilla/grilled cheese of your dreams. And I know what you're thinking: Yes, it contains leaks and drips, and is also dishwasher-safe.

The Glass Skin Set

Not only does Clover absolutely nail the whole “Dupes Done Better” approach (their products are not only affordable but sustainable, too), but they also retain the luxury feel of premium products — meaning you don't have to compromise, in price or wear.

The Glass Skin Set is one of my favorites: It contains products that enhance that dewy, on-brand luminous glow that Cancers have trademarked, and at less than $100 for a full-sized set of four items.

If you're looking to give one-offs, I suggest starting with the Skin Is In Serum Foundation — its lightweight coverage is perfect for summer weather, yet it's still able to impart a natural, sexy finish. Plus, it has squalane!

Custom Small Box

A statement-making, Instagram-worthy bouquet that also doesn't, well, die? Sign us up! Companies like Venus ET Fleur and now Rose Box have cornered the market on eternity flowers, and everyone's social media feed is the prettier for it, to say the least.

This especially hits all the right marks for your sentimental Cancer, who, we're guessing, will be over the moon once these gorgeously romantic — and truly, unabashedly OTT — floral boxes show up on their doorstep. Go for these intimate smaller boxes or something spectacularly swoon-worthy, such as ones with their initials.

Timeless Three Plus Wine Preservation System

It takes a lot to impress us these days in terms of wine gadgets, but seeing as this one took home a prized spot in 2022's Oprah's Favorite Things list, we decided to pay closer notice.

Not only does the Coravin system allow you to pour wine from a bottle without uncorking it (spoiler: it uses a needle to puncture the cork), but it also comes with an aerator and some screw caps to ensure your opened bottles stay pristine for up to three months (even years).

What this means for your Cancer hostess with the mostest: Zero wastage — and, hey, zero pressure to finish an entire bottle on those Netflix-and-chill nights, when you promise you just want “one” glass.

Ace Fanny Pack in Heron

For the lucky ones, summer is synonymous with travel and adventure, and the new drops from Dagne Dover ensure you're doing so with a bit more street cred.

The brand's signature neoprene bags and accessories have just come out in its fashionable Spring/Summer 2023 colorways. Needless to say, we know a Cancer or two who would love this lavender crossbody for that tour they've got planned around the Italian coast.

Spoiler alert: It also comes in hot pink. As in, Barbiecore pink. You've been warned.

The Crown Scalp Scrub

Unfortunately, one of the easiest ways to remember that scalp is skin is when your summer sunburn starts peeling off and you're left with flakes galore. Enter Arkive's The Crown, a vegan-friendly scrub that not only exfoliates the scalp and cleans it of impurities and residual oils, but also advocates for a true moment of weekly bliss in the shower.

The brainchild of celeb hairstylist (and mental health advocate) Adam Reed, Arkive gives head care the love it deserves and sorely needs in our routines, particularly in a chaotic, post-pandemic world. We love gifting this as part of a set alongside The Rootine Scalp Serum as part of our weekly Everything Shower.

Dual Pearl Bracelet Silver

A delicate bracelet in one of Cancer’s birthstones (if they’re born in June, that is — look for rubies for July-borns) and one that perfectly mirrors their chic aesthetic while also juxtaposing their signature metal: silver!

This under-$150 pick from Mejuri punches way above its price in terms of sophistication and features the authentic freshwater variety of the gem — only the realest of pearls for your realest of girls.

Whimsical Bottle

For many Cancerians, their nurturing instincts really come to the fore in the kitchen. Quality tableware and cookware, like this unique, artisanal carafe from Sprezz, as well as its artsy mini-me meant for oil and vinegar, spoil the sweet home chef or hostess in your life with a touch of quirk sure to make them smile.

SPF 50 Tinted Mineral Drops

This France-by-way-of-Cali beauty brand nails “clean-ical” to a T; its formulations are always impressively clean and effective but also still retain that indulgent, French-pharmacy feel.

The Tinted Mineral Drops, a 2023 update to their well-loved sheer version, offers broad-spectrum protection and contains an antioxidant-rich green tea and niacinamide formula. This means your gentle-skinned, summer-lovin’ crab remains tenderly protected from the elements.

Best yet? Each of the five shades has tone-adapting, complexion-perfecting pigments to allow it to adapt to your skin color. Because if there's anything that makes Cancers extra crabby when it comes to suncare, it's that annoying white cast.

The Refresh Edit: The Best of Dermstore Set

Valued at $640 (that’s $550 in savings — 90% off!), this set of 19 skincare products includes heavy-hitters from the luxury skincare game, from Dr. Brandt to Elemis to Peter Thomas Roth and many more — even some bougie, groovy ice globes!

Cancerians typically have glowing skin and relish self-care, so this sophisticated pampering kit is sure to be a big hit.

Smart Fragrance Diffuser

Like the crab who scuttles about with its home on its back, home is literally where the heart is for your Cancerian — it’s where they feel the safest and most secure. Enliven their sanctuary with a smart fragrance diffuser that they can customize and control from their phones, so they can enjoy a uniquely-fragranced space that’s all their own.

Pura uses low-heat diffusion and their tech to disperse tiny (pet- and kid-safe) fragrance droplets into any average-sized room. Each device can fit two fragrances, so you can mix and match or switch between both depending on your mood, a swanky feature to have at your disposal. Oh, and it’s also a nightlight!

For even more oomph, their gift bundles offer the Pura device plus four scents to help your crab get started.

Gift Card

Caring comes second nature to Cancerians (doting is their love language), and a plant is a low-to-medium-commitment way for them to shower their affections.

Let them choose which greenery they want — collections range from low-light to care-free and pet-friendly — with a handy gift card from Plant Proper, a plant delivery service that ships straight to your door. It also makes for a great housewarming gift.

Colored Glass Stemmed Wine Glass (Set of 6)

Aside from being antique-inspired, this gorgeous handblown set of wine glasses appeals to Cancer’s love for homeware that feels beautiful and intimate.

Available in jewel-toned colors that brighten up any space (and garner tons of compliments, too), you can also choose a two-toned set for a more bohemian, domestic-goddess feel.
