March Birthday Gifts: 10 Ideas for Pisces and Aries

March is the turning point of the year. Winter lets go, the light comes back, and the zodiac starts over. March birthdays sit right on that edge, which makes them fun to shop for: a gift can lean cozy or lean fresh, depending on the person.

Anyone born March 1 through 20 is a Pisces: dreamy, creative, deeply empathetic. From March 21 it's Aries, the first sign of the zodiac: bold, energetic and impatient in the best way.

The March birthday cheat sheet

Birthstone: aquamarine, a clear sea blue. Bloodstone is the traditional alternative.
Birth flower: daffodil.
Zodiac signs: Pisces (March 1 to 20) and Aries (March 21 to 31).
The mood: new beginnings, first green shoots, longer evenings.

10 March birthday gift ideas

1. A candle made for their exact birthday. Each March birthdate candle is written for one specific date, with that day's sign, ruling planet, element, tarot card, birthstones and a personality reading. It's hand-poured in Tennessee in natural soy wax and burns for more than 75 hours. Try the March 5th, March 11th or March 26th candle, or find theirs in the collection. You can add their name to the label.
2. Aquamarine jewelry. The pale blue suits spring and pairs with almost anything.
3. A pot of daffodil bulbs. Their birth flower, and a little promise of spring on the windowsill.
4. Art or music for a Pisces. A print from an artist they love, a record, or a creative class.
5. Something active for an Aries. New running shoes, a climbing day pass, a fitness tracker band upgrade.
6. A spring wardrobe refresh. A light jacket, a bright scarf or sunglasses for the first sunny days.
7. A dreamy book. Fantasy, poetry or magical realism for the Pisces who loves to drift.
8. A competitive game night. Aries loves to win. A new board game is a gift and an evening in one.
9. A spa or float session. Pisces is a water sign and will welcome a gift of pure rest.
10. A first-of-spring outing. A garden visit, a picnic, a weekend trip planned around their day.

Pisces or Aries? Shop accordingly

For a Pisces, choose something meaningful, creative or soothing. See the Pisces gift guide.

For an Aries, choose something exciting, active or new. The Aries gift guide has more ideas.

When to order

Order personalized gifts about two weeks before the birthday so there's comfortable time for production and shipping.

If you're still stuck

Find their date in the March collection and read the profile for their birthday. It will tell you whether they lean toward gentle Pisces or fiery Aries, and the candle itself makes the gift. More stone-based ideas are in our birthstone gift guide.
