Show Them the Money

• Money would be a gift that a Capricorn would appreciate: choose a savings bond or shares of stock if budget allows. A gift of a wallet or a purse is appropriate, too. Capricorns value craftsmanship; if an object is of excellent quality and well-made, it doesn't have to be a designer label or an expensive brand. Seek out leather artisans and pick a classic, sleek design that functions well. Your Capricorn will be proud to keep her hard-earned cash in your thoughtful gift.
  
  

Independence Days

• Capricorns are legendary for their rugged individualism. They boldly seek out new paths to achievement. A gift that addresses this goat-shark's attribute might be hiking boots, camping gear, a new bicycle helmet or a digital photo album to display pictures from his travels. A unique, one-of-a-kind item is also welcomed by this sign of the zodiac, as long as it is somewhat conservative and never flashy. Consider giving a gift of Native American jewelry, stoneware from a potter's wheel or a vintage leather jacket.
  
  

Everything in its Place

• Many Capricorns are tidy to a fault. They abhor clutter and have a need for order. Gifts in this department include CD and DVD racks that double as modern sculpture, folding screens with a zen-like pattern to create an entry way for a small apartment or to hide a functioning corner that is less than visually appealing. As Capricorns appreciate the practical in clever design, look to your local museum of modern art for items for the home that are inspired as well as useful, like nesting salad bowls or interlocking modular book shelves.
  
  

All the World's a Stage

• A shadow side of the Capricorn personality is shyness or the tendency to withdraw. If your Capricorn falls into this group, gift him with tickets and your company to a live theater performance, preferably in a small venue where the whole audience is close to the stage. For someone who is intimidated by public speaking, theater is the ultimate thrill ride. Capricorns may be fearless in business, but displays of emotion are often unnerving, and a night of drama would be intriguing to her. Choose a play rather than a musical for maximum effect. Virtually every community in the US has a drama or acting company -- do some research and select a performance with a group known for their excellence. Capricorns are compelled to give credit to others as driven to perfection as they are and always admire witnessing triumphant achievement.
