Best gifts for the Capricorn in your life

Finding the perfect gift for a Capricorn can require a bit of work—but given that they are generally the hardest workers in the zodiac, it’s worth taking the time to celebrate their big day. Here are our best gift ideas for the Capricorn in your life.

Something to help them reach their goals

Workhorse, hard worker, workaholic, boss babe—whatever they call themselves, there’s no denying that Capricorns are the people you want on your team at work. 

Capricorns know that good organization is key to their success, so a daily planner, desk organizer/wireless mobile phone charger and to-do notebook planner are all things they’ll definitely use.

Time management is obviously important to a Capricorn. A sleek watch feeds their need to be punctual, while these Rubbermaid meal prep containers and this motivational water bottle both ensure they’ll still eat lunch and stay hydrated no matter how busy they get.

(And a minimalist photo display for their desk reminds them that there are other things besides work to enjoy!)

Something to encourage them to relax

While a Capricorn would probably scoff at the idea of being burned out, they do appreciate things that keep them calm and grounded. 

A candle with a woody scent like this Voluspa French Cade Lavender one is sure to be a favorite, along with an ultra-cozy Barefoot Dreams blanket (Capricorns love quality and it is winter). A book on yoga poses with detailed descriptions of the science behind yoga combines relaxation with their love of reading. And of course, there’s no better way to relax than with a soothing bath—bath salts from Ahava, an assortment of TONYMOLY sheet masks and this JBL waterproof wireless Bluetooth speaker create the detached atmosphere a Capricorn needs to take their mind off work.

Something that won’t go out of style

Capricorns love classic and practical items in their lives. Not for them the passing trends, but rather, objects that offer quality without being too flashy. 

Some of our faves include handcrafted-in-the-USA marble coasters, comfy-cozy adjustable house slippers from Vionic, a Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System to help them get their caffeine fix, a MakeUp Eraser and a wine aerator set.

Something that gives them a new hobby

Creative and interested in discovering new things, Capricorns might not have a lot of time to devote to finding a new hobby, which means this could be your chance to help them out! 

Film photography involves patience and a keen eye for detail, so get them started with a classic Holga camera and a copy of The Art of Photography: A Personal Approach to Artistic Expression. If they prefer to stay close to home, a garden tools kit, portable garden bench or cute sun hat are perfect for an afternoon out in the garden. Capricorns are known for being practical, making cooking a fantastic hobby to embrace. The New York Times Cooking No-Recipe Recipes book and a super useful kitchen scale make a great combo gift

Something down-to-earth

They are an earth sign, after all! If they don’t have the time or space to devote to a full garden, an AeroGarden is perfect for growing a mini harvest in-home. An Irish Moor Mud Mask from Peter Thomas Roth or 3-in-1 Detox Mud Mask from Honest Beauty are other ways to bring the outdoors in (and boost a Capricorn’s natural glow). Want to take it to the next level with an eco-friendly present? Consider this Ethique Hair Care Sampler or Project Eco21 Zero Waste Personal Care Gift Set.

Something to challenge their competitive side

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Capricorns enjoy taking on a challenge and succeeding at it, so a gift that supports their competitive side in a healthy way is bound to be a winner!

If they love playing Monopoly but don’t have much time to spare, Monopoly Deal is perfect since it has all the thrill of the original board game while being much quicker to complete. Capricorns are, however, famously patient. The game Go, believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to this day, features fairly simple rules to follow but offers a true challenge for its players. Some other great games to consider are Rubik’s Race, Rook or Bananagrams.

Something that celebrates being a Capricorn

Why wouldn’t a Capricorn want to proclaim their Capricorn-ness to the world (they are the GOAT, obvs!)? A straight-to-the-point coffee cup and small notebook are excellent additions to their daily routine, while this ceramic jewelry tray and 14K gold-dipped pendant necklace from Lucky Feather pair perfectly with each other. When they aren’t working (rare, but it does happen!), this stemless wine glass, humorous “Capricorn Facts” t-shirt and balsam + cedar-scented candle are sure to be appreciated.

So if you’re friends with a Capricorn, congratulate yourself because they likely wouldn't become friends with just anyone. Send them a card to let them know how much you appreciate them!

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.
