Gifts for Aquarius, Petty Edition: For the Water Bearer Who Was Into It Before It Was Cool

Aquarius has a theory about everything and a playlist you've never heard of. They're independent, inventive and a little bit from another planet (affectionate). Gift them something that sparks curiosity: science, space or a puzzle they'll solve and then explain to you.
