Best gifts for the Aquarius in your life

Visionary, non-conformist and amazing at hosting casual parties you definitely want an invitation to, your Aquarius friends are among the most fun to shop for thanks to their love of all things unique and interesting. Here are our best gift ideas for the Aquarius in your life.


Something a breezy water bearer will love

Symbolized by the water bearer, you’d think that an Aquarius would be all about the H₂O, but they are actually the last air sign of the zodiac. This just means you have even more gifting options! Some cute (and super easy to care for) air plants are perfect for these unconventional folks, while an air purifier totally embraces their love of technology. To honor their water bearer side, a LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask, handcrafted-in-the-USA bath bombs or self-cleaning LARQ water bottle will ensure that they apply the same nurturing care to themselves as they do others. 


Something innovative & scientific

Innovation and an Aquarius go together like a cake and a birthday party. This Bluetooth speaker from Bose, Bluetooth beanie with pompom and oh-so-useful Bluetooth tracker are bound to be adored by this free-spirited sign (after all, no free-spirit wants a lot of wires to get tangled up in). With all of the good deeds they perform, a restful night’s sleep is essential to an Aquarius, so this Hatch sleep system is perfect for them. Also perfect—a rechargeable hand warmer to help them get through the coldest winter days.


Something unique & eye-catching 

“Basic” simply isn’t a word in an Aquarius’ vocabulary. Decor to fashion to hobbies, they thrive on expressing themselves in non-traditional ways. A bold art print, modern glass pitcher, clock from Sharper Image, whimsical planter, celestial photo display, ceramic arm vase or wooden LED lamp will likely be right at home with the rest of their decor. Of course, an Aquarius isn’t one to just sit around the house. A book on the world’s most fascinating places can inspire their next adventure, while a holographic purse ups the pizzazz factor of their going-out looks. And if you haven’t noticed, Aquariuses aren’t always the best at getting their feelings out, so this beautifully designed notebook might be just what they need.


Something they’ll love for their next party

Remember how we said an Aquarius loves to host a casual party? While they probably already have some entertaining essentials, they can never have too many charcuterie boards or cocktail recipe books (or carafes and unique glassware to go along with said cocktails). A sassy doormat to welcome their guests and a wildly-imaginative drawing game to keep everyone entertained are other ways to encourage them to keep on throwing memorable get-togethers.


Something that honors their altruistic side

The humanitarians of the zodiac, Aquariuses do their best to help others and make positive changes in the world. Luckily, there are tons of gifts out there from brands that give back to good causes and/or practice ethical production processes. A few to consider:


Something out of the blue

Each sign has its own “power color,” and unsurprisingly, blue is it for Aquarius. Cobalt blue eyeliner from Urban Decay, Essie nail polish, a blue agate candle holder, a customizable passport holder or even indigo-blue tea are blue-tiful gifts to give. Yes, blue tea is a real thing.


Something that celebrates being an Aquarius

While it’s easy to spot an Aquarius due to their individuality and creativity, displaying a little extra Aquarian pride never hurts! A wine/coffee tumbler, cute pair of socks, neon wall sign, sandalwood and jasmine soy candle or a gorgeous book all about being an Aquarius is sure to make them smile.


Ready to surprise your Aquarius friend with a thoughtful and amazing gift? Excellent! But regardless of the gift you choose, don’t forget to actually tell them how much you value them. Send them a card for their special day!

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:

  1. 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:some text
    • Signup sheets for standalone events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
    • Signup sheets for recurring or multi-day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
    • Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers and parent-teacher conferences.
  1. 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!
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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:

  1. 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!
  1. When and where the event is taking place. 
  1. The organizer’s name and phone number.
  1. 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?

Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:

  • A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
  • Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
  • No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
  • The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
  • Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
  • An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
  • Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.

With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
