Not sure what to get your loved ones this year? Try shopping for them by personality type! Over the last year and a half I’ve spoken with over a thousand individuals from all of the 16 personality types to determine which gifts they like most. These guides will not only tell you WHAT people like to get for their birthday or Christmas, but how they feel about giving and receiving gifts.
Keep in mind, every individual is unique! No two ENTPs or ISTJs or ENFJs are alike, so pay careful attention to the individual interests and passions of the person you’re buying for.
