The first of my holiday gift guides is up and this one is all about the Enneagram. If you aren’t familiar with the Enneagram, it’s basically a model that describes the 9 different personality types of humankind. According to the Enneagram, each type views the world a little differently. Knowing which type you are can help you better identify your inner desires, what motivates you, your fears, strengths/weaknesses, etc. (If you’re not sure what type you are, you can take the free quiz here. ) I’m a Type 9 and it couldn’t be more accurate – I hate conflict and crave all the cozy things!
Traditionally in the past I’ve done Gift Guides for Her, Him and the Kids. Those are coming soon but I thought this might be a little fun. So grab a cup of coffee, take the quiz, learn a little more about yourself and scroll to see my gift ideas based on your personality type. (Click the links to shop)
Type 1 The Reformer –
Reformers are very rational. They have a strong sense of right and wrong, they love order, are always working towards self-improvement and they tend to be perfectionists. Gifts to help them meet their goals and keep things clean and organized are right up their alley.
Gift Ideas:
Roomba – So they can keep their homes looking immaculate.
Journal – This journal from Workspacery is geared towards Type Ones to help you stay organized and track your goals. Use code OURTINYNEST at checkout for free U.S. domestic shipping.

Type 2 The Helper-
Two’s gravitate towards meeting the needs of others. They care so much for others that sometimes they forget their own needs. They love their people deeply and just want to be loved in return. Gift ideas for 2s would be something geared towards entertaining, helping them pamper themselves or towards a company that gives back.

Apple watch – let them keep track of all those appointments.
Instant pot – chances are, if you’re a 3 or know a 3, they can be workaholics. The instant pot can help them get dinner ready in a flash on those late nights or when they’re busy crushing goals.
Type 4 The Individualist –
Creative, authentic, sensitive and nostalgic are some of the words used to describe Type 4’s. Perfect gift ideas are something that allows them to express their creative side, something handmade or with a sentimental value.
