Optimistic, ambitious, honest and brave, an Aries tends to know what they want and will work to ensure they get it. Which can make finding the perfect gift for one feel just a little bit overwhelming. But hey, an Aries wouldn’t give up on finding you a great gift, so neither should you when it comes to shopping for one! Here are our top gift picks for the first sign of the zodiac.
Something fiery or spicy
As a fire sign (and the first one at that), these gifts are bound to spark an Aries’ interest. Or at least encourage them to throw a backyard party this summer.
Votivo Black Ginger Candle: Something they can actually light! Aries love spicy and woodsy scents, and with its notes of ginger and cedarwood, this candle is a delightful option.
Nando’s PERi PERi Hot Sauce Sampler: This set of sauces from Nando’s also comes with some non-spicy options in case they have guests over.
22” Fire Pit: More actual fire! And this is the gift that keeps on giving—they can make s’mores with it.
Pacifica Beauty Silver Moon Perfume: Vegan and cruelty-free, this perfume features vanilla, almond and spice notes. Lovely for a more subtle nod to “spicy”.
2-in-1 Korean BBQ Grill: Okay, it’s electric, so no fire necessary/wanted, but it’s awesome and fun for their next dinner party.
Revolving Spice Rack Organizer: It’s useful, sleek and the perfect segue into our next list…
Something to keep them organized & focused
They can’t be an ambitious go-getter without staying on track! Good organization is essential to an Aries (as is keeping energy levels up).
Top Shelf Grind Coffee: Elevate their morning (and mid-afternoon) coffee breaks with this top-rated, extra-strong coffee.
Clothing Organizer: Aries looooove comfy clothing but don’t have time to go through their drawers looking for their fave pieces. This will help them out.
Apple Watch®: It’s the assistant your Aries has always wanted. And it’ll come in handy when they goes to work out.
Weekly Planner: Sure, everyone adds appointments and other info to their phones nowadays. But there’s just something about writing it all down on paper that a phone can’t replicate.
Portable Car Charger: Is it the flashiest gift ever? Nope. But if your Aries is on a deadline and suddenly the power goes out, they’ll be so happy to have this laptop and phone charger adapter.
Something to add more time to their day
An Aries is always busy, and while you can’t magically create actual time for them, you can gift them something that gives them time back.
"Pamela Salzman’s Quicker Than Quick": We adore Pamela in general, but her book of 140 recipes you can make in <30 minutes? It doesn’t get much better for an Aries.
The Ordinary Facial Treatment Set: This 3-piece set from The Ordinary makes skincare simple with favorites like vitamin C cream, niacinamide serum and everyone’s favorite, hyaluronic acid serum. They'll be glowing in no time.
Boho Floral Headband Set: Aries rule the head, but don’t always have time to style their hair. This colorful floral set of hair wraps is a no-brainer.
Ninja Air Fryer: If they don’t have an air fryer, this is going to change their life. Also, this Instant Pot promises to do everything but the dishes.
An eGift card for food delivery: When they really don’t have time to make dinner or grab food, an eGift card from DoorDash, GRUBHUB or Uber Eats will save their day.
Something for the sporty & adventurous
The most athletic sign of the zodiac, an Aries loves staying active and taking on new adventures.
CHICAGO Classic Roller Skates: Because roller skates never go out of style and renting a pair isn’t nearly as fun as owning.
WILSON Tennis Racket: Aries season means beautiful-weather-is-coming season. And what better way to enjoy it than on the court?
Gaiam Yoga Mat: Available in a variety of gorgeous prints, this mat even comes with a bonus downloadable yoga workout in case your Aries needs a boost getting started.
Boxing Reflex Ball: Boxing is a favorite amongst Aries, but an at-home boxing setup isn’t always practical. This boxing gear can help them hone their reflexes without taking up a lot of space.
KENNETH COLE REACTION Carry-On Bag: Super lightweight and durable, this spinner bag meets most airlines' carry-on guidelines so they can travel without the excess baggage fees.
Something red
Aries is ruled by Mars, a planet famously known for being red, so guess what their power color is? Blue! Just kidding…it’s definitely red.
Cirque Colors Thermal Nail Polish: Like a mood ring but in polish form, this non-toxic nail polish goes from oxblood to crimson depending on the temperature.
HAUS LABORATORIES by Lady Gaga Lipstick: Gaga’s an Aries, and this vegan lipstick even comes with a bit of sparkle, so it has to be on this list.
Faux Succulents: Wait, succulents aren’t red! Not true—some varieties take on a red hue in the sun…or when they’re faux. Pretty and no-maintenance FTW.
Modern Cut-Glass Vase: It’s bold yet versatile. Bonus points if you add some fresh flowers when you present it.
Patent Leather Lip Purse: Shiny? Red? Shaped like a pouting pair of lips? Perfect for a passionate Aries.
Something to help them cool off
Remember the whole fire sign thing? An Aries can certainly use some of these!
100% Cotton Weighted Cooling Blanket: Calming and cooling. Just what they need.
YETI Stainless Steel Bottle: Everyone needs another water bottle.
Gel Eye Mask: We love that this one has eye holes so your Aries can multitask while they literally chill out.
VINGLACÉ Wine Bottle Insulator: It keeps a bottle of wine chilled for hours. We could all use one of these.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray Collection: Whether they’re traveling or just in need of a refresh, this much-loved set of facial sprays is a must.
Something only an Aries can proudly own
When you’re number 1, you’ve got to let people know! These very Aries gifts are sure to be a big hit with the ram in your life.
Swarovski Crystal Pendant Necklace: For that extra bit of sparkle.
“Aries: Harness the Power of the Zodiac” Book: Stunning illustrations and loads of intriguing info about being an Aries.
Aries Notebook: They can write down all of their plans for success here.
Aries Girl Mug: A sassy mug is always a fun option.

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?

- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
