T’is the season of Piscean birthdays, during which they loudly proclaim not to give a shit – not about time, their age, anniversaries nor formal occasions to mark any such thing. It’s true. For once they’re not lying. And whilst they love gifts they hate being asked what they want. And their tastes are so fluid, whom knows? One moment they’re macrobiotic and the next Goth. You buy them the Tofu Vouchers they requested but they want only to drink gin on the grave of some poet rediscovered a nano-second ago. They claim to be scent fanatics but by the time you turn up with your barely available pre-WWI Guerlain decanted direct from Paris, the Piscean dost only wear Sweet Almond Oil…The big prob is that the Pisces has secretly insane expectations that even he/she knows can NEVER be met;
A Diamond As Big As The Ritz
Pisceans do not care for materialism, as such, you understand. They don’t bother with bling unless it is magical, surreal or invested with supernatural historical significance.

An Island, for the privacy that Pisceans so prefer. Also convenient for entertaining, swimming, gardening and/or launching a small war should the Piscean be having a Mars transit.
The Beautiful Pony that the Pisces always wanted as a child but never got….

An unrealistic outfit, totally impractical that somehow speaks to the Piscean’s Inner Unworldly Being…

Proper Therapy, from the ‘grandfather of pyschoanalysis’ – you somehow suss the Pisces a seance with Sigmund Freud personally…
OR – MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS THAT WILL AT LEAST NOT ANNOY THE PISCEAN INTO ONE OF HIS/HER TOXIC POWER-SULKS:
(1) 
A Red, Chinese, Feng-Shui auspicious envelope with cash or coins in it. As, remember, the Pisces taste So Shifting that you cannot assume to grok this nano’s whim.
(2)

Flowers – as scented, big & trendy as you can manage. Best to go with huge bunch of same-same than risk the naff. If in doubt, the classic: Lilies, Roses, Peonies or – again – whatever has a magical significance. A Piscean would rather you rock up with Deadly Nightshade than a Gerbera.
(3)
A Secret. Some tidbit of news that nobody else yet knows apart from you and the Piscean.
