There’s something wonderful about knowing your friends well enough to be able to give them the perfect gift. But if you need to become an expert on the Enneagram, or if you don’t have time to handcraft each present, this can feel like a tall order. If you want personalized gifts for your friends that also take into account their personality type, try these ideas:
A journal with a cover that matches their personality type
If your friend is into journaling, a personalized journal makes for a wonderful gift. You can find covers that match personalities like “Tropical Bliss,” “Vintage Traveler,” or even their name. For example, if the recipient loves to travel, you could get a cover that says “Traveler” on it. If their birthday is coming up soon and you want something meaningful for the occasion, consider getting them an entirely new journal with their birth date printed on the front cover! They may be astrology fans and enjoy seeing their birth order printed in their notebook. This is also fun to look at if you have never been interested in astrology! Have you heard of the Enneagram? It’s a system of personality types that explains how you relate to others, form relationships, and experience the world. A free enneagram test can be a perfect gift that helps your friend understand their personality.
A gift basket
Baskets are a great way to give a gift, especially if you want to give someone something personalized and thoughtful. You can make a basket filled with items that match your friend’s personality type or use it as an opportunity to include an item you know they will love. If you’re giving them a gift card or cash, consider putting it in a cute little bag, so it doesn’t get lost among all the other gifts.
If you don’t have an idea of what kind of person your friend is, then here’s some advice:
- Keep things simple and clean! Try using neutral colors such as black/brown/white with accents of color (pink!) thrown in every once in a while. This will allow any personality type to feel comfortable without looking too much like they’re trying too hard – plus, everyone looks good in monochromatic outfits anyways!
- Avoid floral print fabrics unless she loves flowers more than life itself. Otherwise, she’ll probably find them too old-fashioned looking instead of chicly retro-modern.
Compile a Playlist Based on Their Relationship to Music
Compile a playlist that is based on the personality type of your friend. For example, if your friend is an introvert and loves to listen to slow songs on Spotify or Apple Music, then you can create a playlist with music that represents this person’s personality. Your friend may also be into certain genres like jazz or country music, so make sure you include some of their favorite songs in the mix. You can also add some instrumental tracks for good measure if you want to add something special for them!
Find a Quote to Match Their Personality Type
If you’re looking for a way to find the right quote for your friend, consider finding one that matches their personality type. If your friend is an extrovert, try using a quote that reflects their outgoing nature: “Go out and do whatever you want to do.” If they’re more reserved and introverted, use something like, “It’s better to be thought of as crazy than boring.”
Please don’t choose a quote that’s too long; otherwise, they’ll get bored with it before they finish reading it. Try choosing something positive but not overly optimistic (such as “Everyone is going through some kind of struggle”) rather than something so dramatic and heavy (“Life sucks”). Finally, ensure you don’t choose any quotes from famous sources—it’ll be hard for them to find!
Make a Snapchat Filter
If you want a gift that will have your friends laughing for a long time, look no further than making them a personalized Snapchat filter. What’s so great about them? Well, they’re super easy and fun to make. They also help build brand awareness and authentically engage with followers.
The best thing about Snapchat filters is that they can be used for any occasion! If your friend loves unicorns and rainbows, maybe they want to use it on their birthday—or if they’re really into dogs, maybe you could use it during National Puppy Day.
Conclusion
There are a few different options. If you don’t know your friend’s Enneagram type, then start with a journal or a quote that matches their personality type. Or find them some music based on how they feel about it!
