Written in the Stars | Gift Ideas for the Aquarius Child

Despite its symbol of the water-bearer, Aquarius is, in fact, an air sign, along with the Gemini and Libra zodiac signs. Air signs have a reputation for being great communicators, meaning if your child belongs to one, they are probably very social and make friends easily. 

Independent & Friendly

Children belonging to the Aquarius star sign are fiercely independent and free-thinking but, although they may appreciate their alone time, that doesn't mean they operate as lone wolves. Aquarius children enjoy making friends, and their communication skills mean they are often good listeners, with a knack for warm and understanding language. 

Intelligent & Creative

Not only are Aquarius children incredibly creative, but they are fast learners too. Their natural intelligence and ability to problem-solve means they excel in certain subjects at school, particularly those where they can express themselves and put their artistic spin on things. 

Adventurous & Fun-Loving

Considering the above, it will come as no surprise that Aquarius children love to explore and throw themselves into new experiences. This, combined with their friendly nature, means they also thrive in team sports, not often turning down the invitation to play in a group.

So, now that you understand the Aquarius child and their traits, you might be wondering what you can gift these forward-thinking, creative, and adventurous children. We have done the hard work for you and put together our top picks for the Aquarius baby, child, and teen in your life.
