Bull and ram fighting in dusty field

The second sign in Western Astrology is Taurus (April 20 - May 20), represented by the bull. This earth sign is deeply influenced by its ruling planet, Venus - the planet of love, money, and beauty. As such, Taurus is one of the luxury-lovers of the zodiac. Don't misunderstand: they're stable and dependable, and few signs work harder. But nothing makes them happier than enjoying life's sensual pleasures.

Your Taurus friends are varsity-level relaxers, and they relish the finer things. They do have a tendency toward stubbornness (or "bull-headedness"), which they may refer to as "tenacity" or "perseverance." Really, it's that when they're set somewhere, whether it's their couch or a relationship or a state of mind, it's very diffciult for them to uproot - even if the situation isn't serving their best interests.

When choosing a gift for a Taurus, indulgence in earthly delights is the name of the game. Read on for inspiration!

Ahava Natural Dead Sea Mud

Speaking of pampering, what's more indulgent than a mud bath? Ahava is a wellness brand built upon utilizing the natural minerals of the Dead Sea and seek "a better understanding of how they benefit human skin," and if that doesn't sum up the spirit of Taurus, I don't know what does. Add a scoopful of their mud powder to the tub for a soak or mix with a little water to make a paste for a detoxifying face and body mask. Bliss.

Tartuflanghe White Truffle Salt

Melding grey sea salt from the ancient marshes of Guérande, France with the finest white Italian truffles, this finishing salt will elevate anything your bull buddy sprinkles it on, be it eggs, potatoes, mac n' cheese, or popcorn. Molto lussuoso. ("Very luxurious!")

Snailax Shiatsu Neck Massager

Think of a bull and where its physical power lies: in the neck and shoulders, right? That is exactly the part of the body ruled by Taurus, and it's very likely that they could use a massage right about now. This Shiatsu neck and shoulder massager utilizes eight rotating nodes to target and relax tight muscles. The armrest design allows the user to control how deeply the pressure is applied, and the nodes have an optional heat function.
