Those born under the strong-spirited sign of Leo will expect a bit of a fuss when given a gift. Actually a bit more than a fuss, more like a spectacle!

Gift giving for a Leo needs to be truly an occasion. When you give any gift to a Leo it needs to be gift-wrapped beautifully and it needs to be presented dramatically! You also need to give them the best of what they like… it could be their favourite drink, so make sure it’s the best champagne gift or their favourite food so make sure it’s presented the best it can be such as a luxury food hamper or maybe something of their favourite colour which will usually be vibrant, red or gold probably, to suit the Leo Personality.

Theatre, champagne, and shining jewels are in the Leo's nature. Represented by the sun, the perceived centre of the universe, the Leo will appreciate thoughtful, personalised gift ideas suited specifically for them. Leos have a decadent streak, and so will usually appreciate anything gourmet, high-end, and generally expensive. Look for gifts that shine like the sun and do not bother with less expensive imitations when deciding what to buy gifts for a Leo, as the Leo will not like anything cheap or fake, no matter how beautiful it is.

The female Leo is not one to wear rhinestones or plastic pearls, but glittering golds and crimsons fit for royalty. She’ll also appreciate high quality make-up, perfumes, and other cosmetics, or a gift certificate to the spa as she will glow with joy at the chance to be pampered. When choosing what clothing to buy for him or for her, pick out name-brand items, and do not shy away from bold and flamboyant styles.

Personalised gifts will go down well so don't forget to engrave the name of your favourite Leo in some clearly visible corner of your gift as Leo is always proud of their name. If you give them a piece of gold paper with Leo's name all around it - it will be the best balm on Leo's soul and you will find your gift being put on the most prominent place in Leo's house!

Many Leos have artistic and culinary talents, so gifts that support an artistic hobby or are related to cooking and baking are often good choices. As
Leos tend to have athletic aptitude, gear or lessons for a favourite sport or other physical activity will be appreciated.

So to sum up, anything that helps them stand out from the crowd will please both the lions and lionesses. Just make sure it is quality and you will have a big old pussycat on your hands here. Fine champagne, gourmet cheeses and chocolates would be appropriate, as would gold jewellery. Vouchers for a massage, facial or manicure will also be well received or tickets to a great theatrical show.
