It's that time of year again! The winter months are full of joy, warm drinks, shiny lights, and the dreaded stress of Holiday shopping. The C&D team is here to help alleviate some of that stress and serve up some perfect options categorized by zodiac sign! We've assembled a range of prices for each sign as well.

Some people doubt the validity of astrology but what's wrong with a little fun here and there? Don't take it too seriously and choose what applies to you! And hey, maybe you end up looking at the rising or moon sign for gift recommendations.

Aries is the first sign in the astrological calendar and is fiery, bold, and confident. We recommend the new Hansel from Basel Cashmere Love Headscarf and Gloves for their statement color as well as the Black Dragon Diffusion Grace Cannage Bag for it's intensity.

Taurus is up next and what better to suit the hardworking and patient sign of the zodiac than our new stock of candles including La Condesa, De Las Flores, Nueve Leones, and Casa Polanco? These candles are made of high quality coconut and soy wax with a high burn time and wonderful individual scent profiles. Another great gift for a Taurus is the Michaela Greg Kiko Cardigan, made with high quality baby alpaca wool, it is the perfect comforting touch to any outfit.

Gemini get a bad wrap when their adaptability and fast-paced personalities are assets! A fun gift to show the versatility of a Gemini would be the Magic 8-Ball Claw Clip, and the Crap Eye-wear Dream Cassette in Lunar Tort. On the higher end we have the Maria Stanley Shrunken Cotton Jumper, the stripes complimenting a Gemini's duality.

Oh Cancer, you're not a crybaby, you're intuitive! Cancers feel and are attuned way more than the average person and of course have an association with the ocean. The Cancer in your life is sure to love the collection of Seafood themed candles, Oyster House, Fresh Shucked, and Maine Lobster. These candles, while bearing the branding of vintage seafood cans, smell lovely and are a charming way to decorate. We also have the new Oyster Hair Claw Clip (In store for now) with a decorative pearl. On the higher end, we have the Maria Stanley Brushed Cardigan and the Mohair Beanie, both in Pear.

Leo is the Lion, fierce, confident, and creative! Leo is tied to the sun and Apres Ski has plenty of beautiful sun themed jewelry to light up the Leo in your life. Some styles we recommend are the Mini Ra Necklace, The Inuit Earrings, and The Campo Bracelet. On the higher end we have the Vintage Suede Penny Lane Shearling Coat which bears some resemblance to a lion's mane.

Virgos are sensible, organized, and down to earth. Our new food-themed post its (In Store) are a good way to spice up organizational systems. The Crap Eye-Wear Heavy Tropix in Olive are not only polarized but also adorable in their green color, combining practicality with style. The ultimate version of this combination exists within the Taion Military Crew Jacket in Green. This jacket is light so it can be layered, but warmer than any fur coat with their down insulation.

Libras are represented by the scales so they strive for balance in their lives but are also deeply fun and very social. For the indecisive Libra we recommend the Decider Spinner Necklace and for a fun pop, the Sweetie Sheer Crew Sock. For the social butterfly Libra, they need reliable cute boots for any occasion and the Taffy Boots are sharp and will stand out but are comfortable for multiple events!

Scorpios are passionate, intense, and a bit secretive. They also harbor a bit of a witchy side and so we recommend the Tu Et Al Soaps, all made with natural ingredients and some like Artemisia have green clay while Obsidian contains charcoal. Each bar boasts different properties and wonderful scents. Another gift for the hidden undersides of Scorpios is the Taion Reversible Bomber Jacket. One side has the signature Taion quilted water-resistant material while the other is velvet with detailed embroidery.

Sagittarius are like firecrackers! Colorful, enthusiastic, and sure to brighten up any place they're around. The Festival Stripe Socks capture that pop of color. The centaur symbol of Sagittarius would be accentuated by the Apres Ski Cavallo Necklace. For that party girl flair, we recommend the Seville Knee-High Boots!

Capricorn are serious, ambitious, and responsible. Their symbol is a mer-goat and would be represented well by the Apres Ski Capra necklace. Their business first mindset would match well with the Trovata Blake Striped Shirt and the Demylee Aubree Merino Vest.

Aquarius are creative, intellectual, and a bit wispy. Contrary to the name, they are an air sign and represented by the a figure pouring water from a vase. What a perfect symbol for the Apres Ski Vaso Earrings. For the artistic sides of Aquarius we recommend the Michaela Greg Bandana Scarf since it can be styled multiple ways and is an easily paired color.

And finally, Pisces. Pisces are dreamy and empathetic. Our jewelry from Merewif, which means sea witch, would be perfectly suited to your favorite Pisces. The Billie Earrings and Eliot Signet are classic and beautiful pieces. The Auger Shell Charm is the most lovely little detail for sea themed jewelry. The final piece we recommend is the Ciao Lucia Fiorella Dress which has a divine deep sea coloring as well as flowy cut for all the Pisces dreamers.

Pick your favorites and have a happy holiday season!
