Salutations to all the spring babies who reside under the sign of bullheaded (in)sensibilities. The grass is now greener, birds are chipper, and allergies have taken over noses across the city. Tauruses– our time is now. And with that here are ten trendy gifts that have made my birthday list. Grab your credit card and indulge in goodies for home, health, and hygiene for all spring long.

YOSUDA YB007A Indoor Stationary Cycling Bike
Spring into a wealth of health with the YOSUDA YB007A Indoor Stationary Cycling Bike. An affordable method to getting cardio by biking on the daily (even if there are April showers) compared to dropping top dollar on an Equinox membership. The bike includes a digital monitor to keep track of every pedal. I love being able to see how far I go after a session and my fitness journey throughout the season. The ride is whisper smooth, meaning I wouldn’t bother roommates or neighbors with 3 AM rides when I can’t fall asleep. For Tauruses who love being entertained there is a built-in stand for iPads or tablets. The YOSUDA YB007A Indoor Stationary Cycling Bike is the perfect present for bulls who want to get into shape.
SeaVees
Soft and cozy are magical words to Tauruses’ ears. Make home life comfy with SeaVees slippers. Is your style Venus-inspired with cute, fluffy, and pink? Look no further than SeaChange Slipper Veggiekins in Cherry Blossom. These slippers keep toes warm on wooden floors and protect pedicures from the elements.
When your fav Taurus needs to slip outside to walk the dog or run to the mailbox, they will think of you fondly when they slip on their Après Puff Slip On in Redwood. Après Puff Slip On is a lightweight kick that is functionally waterproof and holds up in the home sphere with cushioned soles. SeaVees is the brand for quality and durable slippers to give to your cozy Taurean.
Omnipillow
Tauruses are obsessed with a cozy snooze. So is Omnipillow. Refresh the sleepy bull’s bed set with a luxe pillow from the brand. My nights with the queen sized pillow have been soft yet supportive. This pillow adapts to my head and neck however I twist or turn in my sheets. The moisture wicking material keeps me cool as temperatures rise (hey I sweat when I sleep sometimes). With Omnipillow there is always a cool and comfy side of the pillow to be found.
Evolution S3® Neck Pillow
Bring the comfort of home while traveling. And to my fellow Taurus folks grab yourself the Evolution S3® Neck Pillow from Cabeau. This memory foam neck pillow aids in neck support (thanks to the seat strap system) so no unholy “bobblehead” movement while on the train, plane, or car. Evolution S3® Neck Pillow can be compressed into a small pouch. I love this feature which makes it easy to clip on my luggage and catch my next flight… with Evolution S3® Neck Pillow.
Hey Bamboo
Toilet paper might seem like an odd choice for gifting a Taurus, but trust me, they will appreciate TP from HeyBamboo. HeyBamboo is a female (and mom-owned) company that offers 100% bamboo toilet paper at an affordable price. Bamboo is one of the most regenerative materials on the planet making it an eco-friendly option. Hey Bamboo’s texture of this TP is silky smooth, non-bleached, and cruelty-free/vegan.

Farmgirl Flowers
A beautiful home is enhanced by a fresh floral arrangement. Your sweet Taurus will appreciate the Just Right Burlap Wrapped Bouquet. This stunning bouquet is a best-seller from Farmgirl Flowers and embodies classic beauty energy with a touch of fun. The bouquet is made of oranges, pinks, creams, and green blossoms that arrive in a burlap wrap. Farmgirl Flowers offers down to earth flora that will help Taurus slow down and smell the roses.
Health Gifts
Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50
Tauruses are known to be ahem “lazy”, but really we are trying to be efficient in everything we do. So as the days grow longer there is the need for an easy to apply SPF. The solution is the Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50 from Supergoop! This tinted sunscreen has a lightweight formula and coverage that comes in an assortment of shades from light to dark. It blends in with the tips of fingertips for an application under a minute. Protec(tint) Daily leaves a glow finish that screams “your skin but better”. Your Taurus will adore this sunscreen for spring and summer.
CharCharms
How much water are you drinking? Maybe 8 cups a day… or maybe more like one cup. Get your sips in with CharCharms: a brand dedicated to making water bottles stylish and unique. They offer charms, beads, wallets, hand sanitizer pouches, and hooks to decorate your favorite water bottles. I got a water bottle, bead charm, fluffy charm, and hook for my order. Over the course of a few weeks I’ve noticed my water intake reached an all time high. CharCharms is an ideal gift for Tauruses who want to revamp their water bottle game and have an aesthetic outlook to their health.
Skhy
CBD is the favorite three letter combo for Tauruses. Our chill nature is amplified with relaxing vibes of CBD, or as I like to call it, “the body high”. Getting daily CBD can be a treat like gummies or convenient in tinctures or patches. And now in water with Skhy. Skhy offers drinkable CBD water that tastes like fruits without the juicing. Their Shine formula offers biotin for hair, skin, and nail support while tasting like a springtime refresher with notes of delicate rose and juicy raspberry. For jam-packed work days, Tauruses don’t have to lose their cool with the Focus flavor. Focus contains Lion’s Mane for neuro-support and improved memory, while sporting a tropical blend of orange and passionfruit flavors. Skhy is the water for Tauruses looking for some flavor for their daily hydration.
Fiome
The sign of Taurus may rule the throat but we can benefit from getting our gut health in order. Fiome offers the answer. Fiome, is a tasty treat with five grams of fiber, that can be enjoyed in the AM while in bed, after lunch to lull post-meal sugar cravings, or as a sweet nibble after dinner. Made from Inulin (Chicory Root), Banana, Dates, Chia Seeds, Sunflower Seed Butter, Pumpkin Seeds, Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract, Himalayan Sea Salt to get things moving in the gut. Fiome is easy to take in the morning with a glass of water and has a warm cozy flavor (like banana bread). Coming in at only 25 calories this is perfect for all diets and lifestyles.
Greco Gum
Tauruses are foodies by nature. You could say, we have a bit of an oral fixation (Freud too was a Taurean). To curb the salty snack habit and sugary sticks of gum try Greco Gum. This gum is sourced from resinous sap seeps from the bark of the Pistacia lentiscus tree (which is located in Chios, Greece– adding it to my travel bucket list!) When chewed it becomes soft and releases a light pine flavor. Chew Greco Gum for an hour after a meal to help strengthen jaw muscles. This is my go-to to keep me satisfied after dinner and/or focusing while studying for finals. Plus Greco Gum is zero calories, all natural, and biodegradable. Chew on that Tauruses!
Hygiene Gifts
Fur Dark Spot Vanish Patch
Tauruses, being ruled by the goddess of love, beauty, and aesthetics appreciate a well-maintained hygiene routine. Get rid of dark spots with the Fur Dark Spot Vanish Patch. This patch contains Niacinamide, Ginger root, and Arbutin to soothe skin and combat dark spots. Simply place on clean and dry skin, wait up to six hours (Tauruses know all about that), and peel off the patch and marvel at your soothed skin.
Glo Skin Beauty’s Beta-Clarity AHA Clarifying Peel Set
Tauruses love anything regarding beauty, whether it’s a sensual spa session or a relaxing blow at the salon. Tauruses are a thrifty sign as well, we will pay top dollar for deluxe quality but we like to save a dollar for a rainy day. We keep our budget wits about us as we hunt through Groupons for a Russian dry pedicure or scrolling through Craigslist for second hand LV. So expensive treatments like a chemical peel can add up. Thankfully the med spa can be in our bathrooms with a set from Glo Skin Beauty’s Beta-Clarity AHA Clarifying Peel Set . This set contains AHA (Alpha hydroxy acids) which slough away dead skin cells and reveal radiate skin underneath. The set includes step-by-step instructions for a twenty minute treatment. Starting with the cleanser to whisk away impurities, follow up with active solutions, then naturalizers, and at last, bask in glowy skin. I used the peel a few nights ago and my skin has less fine lines, a more even complexion, and a reduction in pesky blackheads. Glo Skin Beauty is the treatment for beautiful bulls on a budget.
Manhattan Grey
Dye jobs can cost a pretty penny, so why not embrace the gray with Manhattan Grey products? A down to earth way (vegan and cruelty free) to make gray hairs pop with ultra hydration. The Moisture Pomade resolves brittleness by softening strands with nourishing Vitamin E, Castor Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil, and Sandalwood Oil. Take a dab onto finger tips and apply to slightly damp hair.
For added shine Hydration Oil looks good and feels good in hair. Made from Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Sunflower Oil, Almond Oil, Frankincense, Sandalwood, and Tocopherol: this natural formula is a winner. Manhattan Grey is suitable for all graying Tauruses who desire their natural beauty for a lifetime.
Hygiene Lab
For my dad who is a fellow Taurus I found the Hygiene Lab to be the perfect gift for him. Their body set includes everything a man needs to smell fresh and feel his best. My dad raves about the lavender scented shampoo and conditioner that keeps his locks clean. He follows up with the styling gel that smells of sandalwood to hold his curls in place. For his sensitive skin the face wash and moisturizer have helped his redness go away. He notices the biggest difference in the softening of his wrinkles. Hygiene Lab is EWG certified and free of harsh chemicals, sulfates, and parabens. Hygiene Lab is the fool-proof and crowd-pleaser for any Taurus man you love.
