The Ultimate Taurus Gift Guide for 2024

The bull-headed Taurus may be strong-willed, but they are some of the most dependable and emotional individuals in the zodiac.

Eccentric and highly unique, those born under the sign of the bull are natural-born leaders who have an innately regal quality about them – and that’s not just because Queen Elizabeth II was a famous Taurus.

Their ability to take charge comes down to their fiercely loyal and protective nature. The vast majority of individuals feel inextricably safer with a Taurus in their midst. Perhaps it’s due to their solutions-orientated outlook, or their logical yet empathetic attitude.

Taurus is an earth sign, which means they are most at home in pastoral, bucolic habitats. While they can cope in fast-paced environments such as the city, they are never more at peace than when surrounded by rolling fields and open air.

Just like if you were to come face-to-face with a bull in the wild, Tauruses are famously immovable. They are stubborn creatures who struggle to take criticism of any form – whether it be personal or professional. Yet it is this very trait that helps to ground the Taurus and those around them.

Strong-minded Tauruses are guided by an innate sense of self-worth. Their willingness to jump to the defence of loved ones is due to the fact that they see this same inner strength and worthiness in the people that they surround themselves with.

Tauruses are sensitive creatures at their core who form strong emotional connections. As such, Tauruses bring with them a distinct air of peace despite representing such a fearsome, powerful animal.

We’ve curated the ultimate gift guide for the strong-willed, determined and loving Taurus in your life. Treat the tenacious individual in your life to the pampering they deserve.

Wild by Cheryl Strayed

This 1995 memoir, that was eventually turned into a film, starring Reese Witherspoon is a classic for a reason. Battered copies are handed through friendship groups, with the recipient being told “you must read this” as Strayed’s wisdom, and ability to pull herself up from rock bottom, has been said to be life-changing for those who need her words. Particularly as grief can be faced not just from the traditional loss of a parent but also following the wake of a breakdown of a marriage, something Strayed is also facing.

Four years after losing her mother, Strayed finds herself utterly lost. She’s divorcing her husband, due to her own infidelity, and has been introduced to heroin by an ex-lover. In order to “save herself” she decides to do something radical and hike 1,100 miles alone along the Pacific Crest Trail.

As a novice hiker, the story of how she lost her mother, and the trauma of growing up with an abusive stepfather, unfolds as Strayed loses toenails but, eventually, finds her sanity once more.
