Dark, Wild, Wonderful, or All of the Above? These Gifts for Scorpios Hit the Mark

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Ohmygourd, it’s Scorpio season! And no, it’s not all just Hocus Pocus and pumpkins and cauldrons (though those count, too): It’s actually the time of the year you get to celebrate the intense, mysterious, and super-loyal scorpions in your life with the best Scorpio gifts.

From Oct. 23 to Nov. 21, we get to enjoy the world as it takes on a slightly darker turn — literally, as daylight gets markedly shorter in the Northern Hemisphere, and figuratively, as we all collectively gear up for Halloween and its infernal delights. It makes perfect sense, then, that this witchiest of holidays also happens to be right smack in the middle of Scorpio’s birthday season, spotlighting all we’ve come to love about this passionate and fiercely honest sign.

Traditionally, Scorpio’s ruling planet was Mars, which brought on those familiar archetypes of sex and aggression a lot of us now associate with the sign. In modern-day astrology, however, its ruler is Pluto, the planet of evolution, transformation, and rebirth — which is why many Scorpios are all about that revolutionary, nothing-but-the-truth approach (plus, their super-precise stinger sees to it!).

In fact, the best gifts for Scorpio all tap into their deeply incisive energy: Regenerative skincare, purposeful accessories, and high-quality craftsmanship show you appreciate their no-BS take. That said, they’re also a fixed Water sign, meaning feelings can and do run high sometimes in their world; things that help these dramatic souls unwind and offer sexual, physical, and emotional release are also key.

These intelligent and distinctive folks pull no punches when declaring their devotion, nor should you, especially when showing how much you care during their special day. Our roundup helps you show them just that — prepare to impress and revel in the rewards!

“The Complete Grimoire: Magickal Practices and Spells for Awakening Your Inner Witch” by Lidia Pradas

From learning how to set up an altar to knowing how to safely work with spirits (and magick-with-a-k), The Complete Grimoire is the spellbook all beginners need in their arsenal.

“Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead: A Novel” by Jenny Hollander

Allow me to share our beauty editor Nicole Saunders’ compelling review of this book: “Marie Claire digital director Jenny Hollander crafted a thrilling debut novel that will keep your favorite Scorpio on their toes. Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead is a dark tale that takes place nine years after a tragic event dubbed the ‘Scarlet Christmas’ occurs at journalist Charlie Colbert’s grad school campus.

The novel shows just how far Colbert is willing to go to protect her seemingly perfect life, even if it means sabotaging people she cares about.” Very dark-and-twisty, aka just the thing for Scorpio season.

Lash Princess Mascara Holiday Gift Set (4-Pack)

Scorpio is renowned for its piercing, magnetic gaze, and anything that enhances their eyes makes for an on-point gift. This holiday bundle is perfect for all those in love with Essence Lash Princess mascara — or any beauty stan, TBH.

Great for your work bestie or the BFF who’s all about the viral TikTok drops, it comes with four best-selling mascaras and in a set that clocks in at less than $20 (!).

3-Month Productivity Planner

Scorpios are not anything if not thorough and laser-focused — and a productivity planner that aids in this approach is something they’ll definitely appreciate.

“The 90-day planning system has plenty of room to take notes and fit all of their activities for the day,” says Saunders, who loves how this three-month planner helps beat procrastination and encourages effective time management.

Reusable Period Underwear 4-Pack

Diva, makers of the Original DivaCup and pioneers in the period care industry, has finally released its much-awaited period underwear (a perfect pipeline, if you ask us!).

The brand’s new reusable period panties are super comfy and silky, featuring four-way stretch fabric that’s also seamless. The biggest sell, of course, is the remarkably high absorbency with no gusset bulk — nine tampons’ worth, to be exact, and in sizes that go up to 4XL.

We love gifting these as a bundle, and caveat that this might be a Scorpio gift reserved for your nearest and dearest. That said, they’re definitely a game changer and might be just the thing your loved one didn’t know they needed in their life.

The Personalized Astrology Book: Powerful Edition

Wonderbly allows you to customize every single aspect of this astrology book to your recipient, from their name and photo on the cover to their birth details (natch!) and even a dedication or message from you, should you wish.

Inside, they’ll receive an in-depth exploration of their zodiac sign, from everything from personality traits to planetary rulerships and rituals. Sections on Self-Care and Know Yourself invite your Scorpio to do the thing they love most in the world: Go for an introspective deep dive.

The Eyeshadow

Stateside for the first time since its inception in 2009, Japanese backstage-fave beauty brand Addiction Tokyo has come in hot — and when I say hot, I mean 99-eyeshadow-shades-hot. Rife with various textures (Pearl, Sparkle, Prism, Matte, Cream, Multi-Tint — the play possibilities are endless!), pigments, and “nuances,” as they call it, it’s a brand that’s equal parts vibrant and elegant, yet totally accessible.

Apart from its totally Scorpionic name, we particularly love its build-your-compact option that allows you to customize colors for your recipient at a friendly price.

Delilah Belle X Venus Open Back Dress

When in doubt about a Scorpio’s sartorial taste, black, slinky, and/or dramatic will put you in good stead.

“Scorpios are arguably the sexiest sign in the zodiac, so they might as well embrace their sexuality with this daring black dress from influencer Delilah Belle Hamlin’s Venus capsule collection,” adds Saunders. “The floor-length maxidress features a daring slit and crystal-encrusted criss-cross shoulder straps, making it the perfect statement piece for their birthday celebration or upcoming holiday fêtes,” she says.

This budget-friendly collection also allows you to spoil your special someone with items that are definitely cold-weather-appropriate. “If you're feeling extra generous, throw in the faux fur jacket that’s giving major J.Lo vibes without breaking the bank,” says Saunders, adding, “As a bonus, everything in the limited-edition collab is available in sizes XXS to 2X!”

Zodiac Perfume Palette

Give your Scorpio something that really goes deep into their astrology sign with this genius, “gamified” mix-and-match fragrance set from Zodica. Featuring 12 spray vials of scents tailored to each zodiac sign, your beloved recipient can layer their fragrance depending on their mood, their natal chart Big Three (Sun, Moon, Rising), or whatever other combo strikes them at the moment.

Another fun detail: The super-giftable box comes with a wheel that displays fun potential scent pairings, based on each sign’s elements and triplicities.

Smart Vibrator

Now, here’s some AI tech that has some non-dystopian hands-on (heh) use. The female engineers at Lioness did us all a solid by creating a smart vibrator that uses biofeedback about our orgasms and arousals and then allows us to view it as data on its app. It allows users to learn more insight into their own sexual pleasure — two things that are high up on your Scorpio’s list.

Lagos Convertible Duffle

Nothing chuffs us more than clever travel solutions, and Dagne Dover’s latest Travel 1.0 capsule edit is no exception.

The Lagos Convertible, in particular, can be used as a duffle, backpack, or crossbody and includes a slew of features that will make any upcoming Thanksgiving or holiday schlepping feel a bit more streamlined. It has compartments for a 16-inch laptop and two exterior phone/passport pockets, has a luggage sleeve, and includes a shoe bag.

The straps are all padded and detachable, and the entire bag, whether in the Medium or Large version, is carry-on compliant.

The Quickie Kit

This unassuming bundle has gotten rave reviews from nearly 500 users, from one claiming “I didn’t know it could feel this good” to another saying this gave them “Great endings EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!”

The Quickie Kit includes Foria’s best-selling CBD-infused Arousal Oil, Sex Oil, and Intimacy Melts that work together to guarantee a pleasurable, spicy time — regardless of how fast or slow you want to go. Makes for a fantastic gift for your Scorpio lover, or even for yourself.

Ratchet Mill

I’ve personally never quite enjoyed using a pepper mill as much as I did this one, and I don’t even like pepper! The ratchet back-and-forth design is a joy to use, and the corrosion-proof ceramic grinder is also adjustable to ensure your salt, pepper, or other spices come out just the way you want them.

It’s a great gift for the Scorpio chef or even as a housewarming present for the holidays.

Scorpio Cupcakes 25-Pack

Nothing we stan more than a spot-on collab. This partnership between everyone's fave neighborhood cupcaker Baked by Melissa and renowned (and super fun!) astrologer and author Aliza Kelly, takes — and bakes — the best of both worlds.

Curated for each sign, the Scorpio pack features 25 mini-cupcakes tailored to the sign's hallmark traits. Prepare to relish in sinfully decadent flavors like Triple Chocolate Fudge and Red Velvet. Mmm.

Customizable Ice Cube Tray

Your famously possessive Scorpio will be absolutely chuffed with these personalized ice cubes that allow them to, well, make their mark in their “potions” (and leave quite the impression).

These high-quality platinum silicone ice cube molds are made in the U.S.A. and come in three sizes. Get as goofy or as high-brow as you want and customize with your own text, a monogram, a graphic, or a logo.

Back Scratcher and Dry Exfoliator

A Scorpio will always understand the power of a good exfoliator — and this one from Bearback, according to upwards of 4,000 reviews, isn't only good — it's great. Not only does this nifty, sturdy back scratcher-cum-exfoliator get into those hard-to-reach spots for toe-curling satisfaction, but it's also foldable and waterproof, helps with dry skin itchies, and can aid blood circulation.

“This Bearback is just perfect,” says one 5-star review. “The size of the head, the firm but not scratchy fingers, the folding handle — oh, just buy it. I’m going to buy one for everyone I love AND one for everyone I hate because they just need a good scritchy-scritch on their backs and they’ll be good people.” We concur.

Female Libido Gummies + Vibe Kit

This pack, which includes 16 passionfruit-flavored (*finger guns*) gummies to stimulate arousal and decrease stress alongside a discreet, three-speed vibrator, is one of the sleekest and most efficient self-pleasuring sets we've seen. Give to your Scorpio bestie, a partner, or yourself to fire up those cold nights.

Stainless Steel Month by Month Necklace Set

This handcuff-inspired necklace set from lifestyle brand Air and Anchor includes a vintage gem that you can personalize to the recipient’s birthstone.

Your Scorpio will get tickled pink by the artisanal feel of the charm and even more excited by the sweet-and-spicy vibe of the cuff, which comes in two lengths and finishes.

Month by Month Necklace Set

Lip Serum

Passionate and opinionated, when a Scorpio talks, people listen. Ensure their puckers are up to the challenge with this super hydrating lip serum, which contains Omegas 3, 6, and 9 to moisturize, repair the skin barrier, and protect against dryness, especially during the colder months.

Stephanie Wide Leg Stripe Pants

We may be entering our sweatpants era, but leave it to a Scorpio to find a pair with some sex appeal. These striped wide-leg pants from Universal Standard are stretchy and wrinkle-resistant, not to mention super on-trend and versatile enough to be worn way past the witching hours. (We actually love them with a button-down for work, in fact.)

Bonus: Their impressive size range goes from a 4XS to a 4XL.

Renewing Serum

So apparently, we don’t need to choose between clean or clinical? Thank you to Odacité for sending us the memo, particularly in the form of this superbly effective retinol serum, which makes applying active ingredients enjoyable (!) and hydrating (!!) again.

Ideal for those new to the retinol game or who want a gentler approach to skin renewal.

3D Knit Cashmere Crew Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater

The buck usually stops at Uniqlo for quality basics, and this 100% cashmere sweater is no exception. Engineered via a proprietary 3D knitting process (no seams!), this chic sweater is durable, pill-resistant, and can be hand-washed, too. The only debate is which color to go with, because all eight are equally cute and autumn-ready.

Phormula 3-10 Eye Intensive

None other than Marilyn Monroe herself worshipped at the house of Erno Laszlo, and honestly... sold! The Hungarian dermatologist also formulated the brand’s Phormula 3-8 balm (now sold as Phormula 3-9) for her appendectomy scar.

Decades later, we get Phormula 3-10 Eye Intensive, a lightweight yet potent eye cream that addresses everything from dark circles to wrinkles to maybe even unwanted suitors.

The powerful line, which includes their proprietary youth-promoting ingredient Epigene-6, also includes a serum and a moisturizer if you really want to spoil your Scorpio.

Pumpkin Spice Lover's Gift Set

You don't have to be a gift-giving expert to wow your Scorpio (we know they can be hard to impress). Thankfully, Knack exists: This innovative gifting platform literally takes all the guesswork — well, at least 99% of it — out of the art of gifting and puts together personalized boxes for your recipient with a few clicks of a button.

Their genius UX helps you filter and customize your box via theme (like this Scorpio-appropriate pumpkin one) or price point, and you can even include a video message with each send.

Great for parents, coworkers, in-laws, and pretty much anyone else, it's also way better and more thrilling than that yearly holiday card — also, no fridge clutter!

The Future Youth Treatment Mask

Arkive’s Adam Reed is no stranger to the spotlight — he's worked with everyone from Madonna to Diane Kruger to Harry Styles to Alexander McQueen — and his new line of “headcare” essentials brings self-care into our hair care routines.

The vegan, cruelty-free products are all made with nourishing and nurturing ingredients that help urge your locks into their best form.

The Future Youth Treatment Mask, in particular, is fab for moisturizing strands against winter dryness when used after shampooing. Couple it up with a blissful weekly scalp massage and your Scorpio will be forever grateful.

Women's Health Probiotic + Omega

Scorpio rules the reproductive organs, and this soothing probiotic helps keep your vaginal health in tip-top shape.

Nouri’s Women's Health Probiotic uses capsule-within-a-capsule tech to make delivery of probiotics to the gastrointestinal tract more efficient and effective, meaning you’re increasingly protected against UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast infections. The gift that keeps on giving, TBH.

Face For All Mask Set

The perfect face mask set doesn’t exi... Oh, hello. This seven-mask bundle of Karuna’s signature face and eye masks will check all your perfectionist Scorpio’s boxes, we promise. From antioxidant green tea to exfoliating pineapple, it's almost as if, gasp, there’s one for every day of the week!
