17 gifts for the water sign (Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio) in your life
It’s officially official: the holiday season is here! It’s time to shop ’til we drop, eat more food than we can digest, and try to hold it all together while 2017 slips from our grasps. Buying gifts during this time of year can be a fun experience…or it can be daunting. Thankfully, we’re here to help you make your holiday shopping more the former and less the latter. To do so, we’ve rounded up 17 zodiac gifts for the water sign in your life, so you can shop for your favorite Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio with no stress necessary.

That’s why this gift guide is packed full of self-care essentials, fun and entertaining gifts, and trinkets that will help your favorite water sign embrace their true colors. Plus, there’s a watery theme running throughout because water signs love the water — go figure!
