A meaningful trinket

Your signature animal—a crab, of course—is known for its sturdy shell, so it should come as no surprise that your deeply sensitive core shelters within a tough exterior. A handcrafted 18 karat gold kaleho (that’s Hawaiian for cowrie shell) necklace from Maui-based Kealoha Jewelry makes for a stylish wink to that key quality, while doubling as a reminder that sometimes it's okay to be vulnerable.

A vacay-ready staple

Cancer is a quintessential water sign, which has both a figurative connotation—your emotions are fluid and intense—as well as a literal one: Getting you in or near water is a surefire way to lift your spirits. Suit up for a trip to your happy place with YUME’s elegant handmade cover-up. Made of light, softly crinkled linen, it's ideal for the beach trip or poolside hang you've been craving.

An entertaining essential

Home is the center of a Cancer’s universe—it’s where you feel most like yourself, and also where you visit with the family and friends who keep you grounded. Depeapa’s playful and practical serving trays make it easy for you to bring the party to your domain—after all, there aren’t many who can rival a Cancer when it comes to playing host. (Complement it with a set of zodiac glassware from Vital Industries, shown above.)

Mood-boosting note-takers

Keep The Seashack's set of rainbow-hued pencils handy for bursts of ingenuity—for someone with your astrological tendency for creativity, it’s not a matter of if inspiration strikes, but rather when. The pencils’ cheerful mantras will also give you the positive reinforcement you need to push right through any temporary artistic blocks.
