We’ve all experienced the stress of not knowing what to get someone for the holidays or their birthday. Maybe they’re picky. Or perhaps they’re the “already has everything” type. Thankfully, personality preferences can tell us a lot about a person – including hints about what gifts they might like. To eliminate those panicked last-minute shopping moments, check out this gift guide based on personality type.

First, you’ll need to know someone’s personality type to use this guide, but that’s no problem. Give them the official MBTI personality assessment as a gift! (The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® [MBTI] assessment can be gifted to anyone). Once your recipient shares their personality type with you, find their type in the list below to spark some unique gift ideas for the future. Pretty soon, you’ll be the most thoughtful gift giver around.
