I'm Calling It: This Elegant Birthdate Pendant Is the Best Birthday Gift Idea Ever

Some women treat a first date like a job interview, but my approach is simple: I just check their sun sign on Bumble.

I'm the friend you go to with an astrology question about a love interest — the person who would happily review your big three: your sun, ascendant and moon signs. I can also often guess your sun sign after spending just a few hours with you in a casual setting. Have a question about a crystal you're interested in purchasing? Just ask me, because I'm obsessed with decoding personalities through birth charts and helping crystals find their forever homes.

That's why I was thrilled to discover the Birthdate Pendant by Birthdate Co. — the company behind those viral personalized astrology candles you've probably seen while surfing the web. As GH's gift guide editor, I've found a lot of astrology products to be, well, disappointing. The main issue is that many fail to focus on anything beyond a person's sun sign — and birth charts (not to mention people) are so much more complicated.

However, I think the Birthdate Pendant is a standout accessory that reflects the complexities of the stars, and ties in the power of healing crystals as a bonus. Using a combination of astrology, tarot and numerology, each one of these personalized necklaces is completely different, just like the wearer's birth chart! What's more, it comes with an informative booklet that explains the gemstone choices (when I ordered a necklace for myself, I was surprised to receive a pearl — but found its meaning to be accurate after reading the explanation).

Aside from the pendant's representation of astrology, it's also a gorgeous way of wearing your birth chart. The hand-selected gemstones are placed in a beautiful sterling silver- or 14K gold-plated setting for a quality design that has a modern flair. To be honest, I've never seen an astrology gift quite like it, and my job is online shopping!

It's no surprise that astrology lovers are catching on to this unique find, and it's quickly becoming a must-have piece of jewelry for anyone obsessed with crystals and birth charts. The design is also very neutral, so it can be worn anywhere. I also think it makes a fantastic birthday gift, even if they're not up to speed on their big three.
