A gift guide inspired by the loyal and sensitive Cancer sign to spoil the Cancer in your life!

A meme about Cancer's and how much they cry.

Cancer season ranges from June 21 to July 22 and the sign is represented by the crab. Cancers are known to be sensitive, emotional, nurturing, and intuitive. Some famous Cancers include Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Tom Hanks, and Selena Gomez. Cancers are ruled by the Moon, and this means that their emotions tend to run very high. They usually end up being very sentimental or overly moody. It’s a good idea to stay on a Cancer’s good side because just like the crab that represents them, they can strike fast. 

Because of how in tune they are with their feelings, Cancers are known to be great friends who are valuable for holding the friend group together. They’re very good at keeping their bonds and offering support to those that they care about, and because of their strong value for loyalty, they are very good at keeping touch and maintaining relationships. They’re very social and loving of their friends, and they are often the ones planning the gathering, mailing a “just because” gift, or checking in randomly to show that they care. 

Cancers are well known for being very thoughtful and generous gift givers, and they deserve the best in return. Cancers are water signs, so they are very emotional and sentimental, which means that any gift that comes from the heart is a winner in their book. Cancers are also cardinal signs, which means that they are determined and driven, so they will also like gifts that will help them achieve or manage their goals. Read on for a gift guide to spoil the Cancer in your life. 

Cancers are ruled by the moon and known for their emotions, so heartwarming gifts filled with meaning are perfect for them.
