People born from June 21 to July 22 are Cancer in the zodiac. They are known as sensitive, emotional, caring, and intuitive beings. They are often extremely sentimental or overly fickle, and not infrequently both at the same time.
However, they are loyal friends and are ready to do anything for those they love. If you are loved by a Cancer and want to thank and show them how important they are to you, here are some tips on what to give them for their birthday, baptism, or even without any special occasion (the latter would make them the happiest).
1. A Trip or Journey
You may sometimes get the impression that Cancers don’t like surprises. However, if you were to secretly organize a nature trip or travel to another city or country, they wouldn’t hesitate to accept such an adventure.
They are people who like to spend time alone, in their “own four walls,” yet they are often aware that they need a change and will not hesitate to step out of their comfort zone.
Children born under the sign of Cancer will enjoy a full day at the playground, Dino park, zoo, or similar places.
Keep in mind that Cancers are water signs, so a perfect day would be spent somewhere by the sea, even during the winter period.
2. A Piece of Jewelry or a Pocket Watch
Most Cancers don’t like to “show off,” but they like to have a valuable memento of a loved one. When it comes to jewelry, it doesn’t have to be an expensive necklace or ring with a gemstone.
You will make them very happy even if you decide to make a piece of jewelry yourself, like a plastic bracelet.
For a man born under the sign of Cancer, a perfect gift might be a wristwatch. It’s even better if you can find a vintage wristwatch in an antique shop or at a flea market. Remember, Cancers are nostalgic creatures and a trip to the past is not at all foreign to them.
3. A Bookshelf
Individuals born under the sign of Cancer are very creative and imaginative. They often have jobs related to art, and if it’s not their primary occupation, they usually like to paint, draw or write in their free time. Books are both their passion and a need.
Although they love to read, they can get lazy from time to time. However, if you give them a book by their favorite author, they will neglect all their obligations until they finish reading it. Since they love books, a good gift would also be a shelf on which they could place the collection they carefully keep and which you must never “scatter” by not returning a book you borrowed from them.
4. Travel Bag or Suitcase
Astrologers say that Cancers like to cuddle up with those they love, however, a change of scenery always pleases them. They have no problem even escaping somewhere alone for a few hours or a few days. Therefore, a travel bag or suitcase would be a very useful gift for them.
You can always gift a backpack to school- or sports-going boys born under the sign of Cancer, and with girls, you won’t go wrong if you choose an interesting purse.
5. A Collage of Shared Photos
Considering that Cancers are often nostalgic and melancholic, prone to retreating into the past with their thoughts, it is important to constantly remind them how important they are to you.
Order or make a collage of joint photographs yourself. They will have a nice memory, as well as a tangible reminder of how much you value their friendship.
6. An Album or Book of a Favorite Author
It is believed that everyone is born with some talent, and Cancers are born creatives. Still, they sometimes need encouragement to use their virtue in the best possible way. They find inspiration in music, so you can gift them an album of their favorite artist.
If your Cancer likes to write, it is usually a sign that they also like to read. Still, if you are looking for a book for them, make sure to “hit” the taste. They surely won’t bother with contemporary fiction. Thrillers, crime novels, and even books dedicated to philosophy, psychology, and history are a much better choice for a Cancer’s gift.
7. Scented Candle or Incense Sticks
You may not have noticed, but Cancers have a very sensitive sense of smell. They will never use too aggressive a perfume, shampoo, or shower gel. They prefer it when they can smell the scent of detergent or fabric softener on their clothes. This is a clear sign that they appreciate a nice scent.
You will find scented sticks and candles everywhere. It is just important to choose a note that your Cancer will enjoy.
8. Pajamas, Nightdress or Sexy Lingerie
Cancers are very passionate lovers, although they usually don’t seem so at first glance. You won’t go wrong if you gift sexy lingerie or a nightdress to a woman born under the sign of Cancer. Avoid uncomfortable lace and try to find a material that will be comfortable for her.
For a man born under the sign of Cancer, you can gift a pajama. Even though he prefers to sleep in underwear, he will be pleased with an interesting pajama to take on a trip or when not sleeping at home.
Pajamas are also an ideal gift for little ones born from June 21 to July 22.
9. Cutting Board or Food Serving Platter
The best hosts are born under the sign of Cancer. They like to welcome you to their home and host you in the best possible way. They believe in the motto “the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach.” So, they happily prepare food for those they love.
Don’t give them pots and pans because they have plenty of those. Instead, an interesting cutting board or food serving platter can be a real hit. Don’t be surprised if the next time you visit them, they serve you a very tasty dish on it.
For children born under the sign of Cancer, an ideal gift in this case would be a play kitchen, a dollhouse, or a toolset, if it is a boy.
10. Cozy Blanket or Comfortable Pillow
Although this idea may seem cliché at first, take our word for it. A comfortable blanket or decorative pillow could be something that will greatly please your Cancer. It is very important for them to feel good in their home, so anything related to their comfort is an excellent option.
In stores or online, there is no shortage of blankets or pillows; it’s up to you to make an effort to find the one that will best suit the person you want to please.
If you want to be creative, you can order a blanket with a pattern of your joint photographs. Thus, you will get a warm and comfortable collage that will always remind your loved one of how much they mean to you.
