'Bessie'
Aries.
Confident and spontaneous, Arians typically know what they want. They’re go-getters and want you to know it. You want your buy to match their fiery energy, something bold and confident.
A surprise skydiving trip is never out of the question, but if you want to think smaller, try some bold accessories or jewellery to help them own their look.
Pisces.
Ah yes, the all romantic Piscean. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and feel all the feelings (including everyone else's), so sometimes they need time out from their empathic ways to take care of themselves.
Treat them to some self-care goodies — think candles, facemasks and Netflix - so they can take some much needed ‘me time’ and have a date with themselves.
Brand suggestions: Sephora, Frank Body, Sol Candles and Scents.
Temple and Webster
Taurus.
Ruled by Venus — the planet of beauty — Taureans tend to have an appreciation for the finer things. That doesn’t necessarily mean expensive, but rather something of good quality that suits their aesthetic.
As Earth signs, they enjoy the material — things they can feel. We suggest sprucing up the bedroom with a new bed set or throw blanket to keep cosy.
Brand suggestions: Temple and Webster, Bed Bath N’ Table, Brosa.
Gemini.
Next up are our Gemini pals. As an Air sign, these guys are curious and charming. With big personalities, Geminians are known to be talkative and fast-moving. They are social butterflies!
So, if they’re in lockdown going stir-crazy, help keep them moving with some new activewear or fitness finds.
Brand suggestions: Lorna Jane, Foot Locker.
Cancer.
Time to give some love to the ever-so sensitive Cancerians. Being a Water sign, Cancerians are known for being intuitive and nurturing.
With high-running emotions and often feeling sentimental, they will likely appreciate something thoughtful like a journal to help them write it all out, or a photo album for keeping memories close.
Brand suggestions: BIG W, Typo and Collective Hub.
The Dairy
Create your own custom case
Leo.
We couldn’t possibly forget about the Leonians. These guys love to feel special, so splashing out on a little bit of luxe is right up their street. Go bold or go home, we say. As a Fire sign, they’re quite passionate about their interests.
Anything unique or that can be personalised just for them is a winner! We’re leaning towards monogrammed luxe-loungewear and accessories.
Brand suggestions: Bras and Things, My Empire Sleepwear, The Dairy.
Virgo.
Virgos — aka, the perfectionists of the zodiac realm — can be quite particular. Somewhat clean freaks, they thoroughly enjoy anything practical that will aid their particulars or habits.
Feeling productive is key. It might be time for Virgos to do some reorganising around the house, so we suggest some fun new storage homewares.
Brand suggestions: Freedom, Brosa, Amart Furniture.
Libra.
It’s no secret that Librans can be contradicting at times; are they more introverted or extroverted? We can’t tell you for certain. But while it can be tricky to decide what they truly want, we know that Librans usually want to be seen as responsible and admired for their charm.
They also have killer fashion aesthetics. This has us thinking that some good quality staple pieces for the wardrobe — to match their personalities of course — are the way to go.
Brand suggestions: Levi’s, David Jones, Cue.
Dymocks
Ottolenghi, Flavour
Scorpio.
Scorpions can be a hard nut to crack! Risk giving away their power by letting someone get to know them? Tough luck. But once you’re in, you’re in. They’re known to be fiercely loyal and compassionate. Until then, they’ll be the ones asking the questions, buddy.
For those on their good side, you’d know they can often be slightly obsessive over their interests, so a book they can bury their heads in and indulge in a topic they love is a winner.
Brand suggestions: Dymocks, Booktopia.
Caribee
Pegasus Series Set
Sagittarius.
Sagittarians love to explore. Whether that be the world or the human psyche, they’re all over it. They love to learn new things, and will question just about everything.
Spontaneity and adventure are at their core, so they love anything that will help switch things up. With many of us in lockdown, keep your fellow Sagittarians inspired with some travel-related accessories - like a travel planner, or a new passport case so they’re ready to go as soon as the day comes. Hang in there, Sagittarians!

Capricorn.
We have lots of respect for Capricornians, and that’s exactly what they want. They’re the least likely in the zodiac group to get caught up on material things; they’re more focused on reaching their goals. That doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy a little attention from time to time. But above all, they thrive in responsibility.
A good buy for them is anything to help stay organised while they work on conquering the world, like calendars and planners. Go forth and conquer, mighty Capricornians.

Aquarius.
You want to think outside of the box when shopping for an Aquarian. They’re the quirkier ones of the zodiac group, so it’s best to buy something that helps their uniqueness shine. Aquarians are innovators, which also means they need time and space to work on ideas, create or simply reflect.
Help keep them inspired with an unconventional artwork to hang in their workspace or a slick set of pens to match their ‘ideas book.’
Brand suggestions: Art Mark Gallery, RJ Living.
We know that shopping for a bargain can sometimes be an overwhelming task (deep breaths, Cancerians), but Afterpay Day - with the help of some zodiac guidance - is here to make it smooth sailing.
The star signs have spoken, and Afterpay Day is yours to conquer! Now get out there before the Taureans buy up all the best stuff.
