      30 gifts to purchase for the Leo in your life

      by

      Life

      July 24, 2025

      As Leo season dawns upon us, leave finding a present for this extremely creative and bold Zodiac sign to us.
      When does this sign celebrate?
      Symbolised by the lion, they’re the fifth sign of the zodiac, with birthdays falling between July 23 and August 22.
      What are the best gifts?
      Designer sunglasses
      Leos live for drama and spotlight, and no accessory says “main character” better than a pair of luxury sunglasses. Oversized, gold-accented, or retro, whatever the style, it’s all about commanding attention.

      Luxury perfume
      A signature scent is essential to a Leo’s presence. Choose a perfume with warm, sensual notes like amber, oud, or spice that leaves a trail wherever they go. Bonus points for an elegant bottle to display.
      Bold print art piece
      Bright colors, abstract lines, and unapologetic visuals: that’s the Leo vibe. Gifting a vibrant art print for their space speaks to their love for drama and creativity.
      Gold jewellery
      Nothing speaks Leo like bold gold. A chunky chain, lion-head pendant, or statement earrings are perfect to match their radiant energy and love for standing out. Gold symbolizes power and warmth, two things any Leo is known for.
      Statement home décor piece
      Think sculptural lighting, a plush designer chair, or an iconic coffee table piece from brands like Tom Dixon, Jonathan Adler, or Fornasetti. They love decorating their space like an extension of themselves: dramatic, stylish, and bold.
      So, swipe through our guide of gifts to purchase, as we save your time from all the scrolling.
