As the holidays approach, we are all looking for fresh ideas for the hard-to-buy and usual suspects on our gift list. This Enneagram-based Gift Guide offers fresh ideas for the people on your list based on their self-proclaimed Enneagram number. 

If you are unfamiliar with Enneagram, it’s a personality program that differs from others. 

  • It’s self-proclaimed
  • It’s an ancient scale
  • It’s all based on motivation 
  • It seeks to help you find more of who you are

While I’m not one to limit people and shove them in a box, I do think recognizing who you are helps you react differently, grow and change. I know there are all kinds of convos about Enneagram and its origins and I’ll let that be another website and another debate. For me, I’m a personality test junkie. I like to know more about people and more about how I can connect with people. I don’t think one test ever gives you a full answer to understanding a person. But, I think the more people you get to know in your life, the more you have to do to understand how they tick and function in the world. 

And figuring out how to gift a person based on them and not you as the giver is the real point of giving!

I should probably mention that I’m a 2 which is why I even thought it would be a good idea to make a gift guide for others. I spent a couple of hours on a road trip this summer planning this. Which is “so 2 of me.” And, the fact that I used road trip time to stay busy, should reveal my 3-wing. Guilty as charged!

So, what should you buy for your friends and family this Christmas based on their Enneagram number?
