When you just know you have got her a wonderful birthday gift which really pleases her, you realise it was worth finding out what 'makes her tick'. Because she is special to you and you want her to know it, there is no real effort needed. It is just such a pleasure finding out what will push her buttons.

To start at the beginning, virgo the maiden is an earth sign. The virgo girl is very detail-orientated and has strong visual flair. She has a nervous and wiry temperament and is usually shrewdly observant. She is likely to display patience and likes to make sure to retain what she sees as the good in most aspects of life. Virgo is thought of as a particularly 'feminine' or introvert sign and so they are believed to be reflective and receptive to the ideas of others.

They also have a flair for discrimination and a wonderful way with words, which gives them a reputation for civility and good manners. Virgos are usually precise and excel at skills needing patience and exactitude. However, they are highly sensitive to perceived criticism, so seem to worry unduly about the need for perfection.

Virgos are thought of as deep, but in their affable and likeable way, can be full of good sense. They sometimes demonstrate a good understanding of the problems of others, which they are then often prepared to take on board, with immense practicality. This is something which is sometimes not shown in their handling of their own situation.

Virgo ladies can be genuinely affectionate in marriage; they make good wives and mothers. Though they might show an outward lack of feeling, this may well conceal an overflow of emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way. This is possibly because they do not have quite enough confidence in themselves and their opinions of others.

Her kind of mind needs the stimulus of practical problems to be solved, so she is often not suited to jobs or relationships based on routines. They tend to be careful with their money and they have an interest in statistics, which makes them good as accountants or book-keepers. Virgos are considered better as subordinates than as leaders. Responsibility sometimes does not suit them and they might lack the ability to think long-term, which a good leader needs.

Your lady virgoan will probably have a flair for good dress-sense, and may well be thought of as a trend setter. She will easily assimilate new ideas, but always with an eye on preserving things worth keeping from the past. She will love country life, as long as she is at arms length from its grubbier features. When looking for the perfect gift for her, you could do much worse than consider a Swarovski zodiac sign. This will be a really good investment to please your Virgo lady.

Because one way to her heart is through attention to detail, she will be impressed that you have found a truly virgo gift, especially for her.

Virgo colors are pastel blue, gold and peach and these are all in evidence in the Swarovski crystal virgo pin which is a miniature, but perfect artwork. The crystals and beautiful colors of this pin and its exotic design make it a really great birthday gift. To go along with your special gift, you could always give her some flowers. If you do, the best flowers for a virgo are, according to the time of year, Rosemary, Cornflower and Valerian, which echo her lucky colours. The Swarovski pins have proved themselves to be fantastically popular with girls and ladies of all generations and I think they are a wonderful way to demonstrate just how you feel.
