Home is where the heart is
Just like their sealife friend the crab, a Cancerian child is a natural homebody. And although they may not carry their home on their back, creating a cosy and inviting world around them with luxurious blankets and throws, pretty bedroom decor or nightlights with a stylish pair of pyjamas make for some very welcomed gift ideas. Simply add a good book and you’ll be their new favourite person.
We Love: A Burberry blanket is just as welcomed in the nursery as it will be their teenage bedroom. Choose one of the designer’s timeless prints for a gift that will last a lifetime.
Natural nurturers
The protector of emotions, a Cancerian child is kind, compassionate and loyal to their friends and family — pets too. And what better way to show their love than by creating all sorts of heartfelt gifts from glorious mud pies to arts and crafts for you to frame (if you can find the wallspace!). Or how about a charming soft toy they can snuggle or a rocking horse to share their adventures with today and cherish for years to come.
We Love: Bigjig’s outdoor kitchen because it encourages little ones to play outside, explore the garden and take in the natural world on their doorstep. Plus, a cuddly bear is a timeless gift, and this one from Aurora is adorable.
To the Moon
Like the tide full of beautiful shells and treasures, there’s nothing Cancerians love more than enjoying waves of nostalgia, collecting memories to cherish with every year they grow. And our little keepsakes and trinket boxes are the perfect gifts to tap into their soft and sentimental side. Being ruled by the Moon and the tide is also a fun source of inspiration for your gift of choice. Why not choose a celestial or beach-themed gift for the Cancerian child in your life?
We Love: Moon or star-themed jewellery, like these pieces from Little Star and Angel’s Face. Not only are they made to love and last, but they’ll add a subtle sparkle to every outfit.
