Deck the halls with Christmas cheer, for the second instalment of our series is here!

If you missed last week’s gift ideas post for the Type 1s, 2s and 3s, then read it here

In this instalment, let’s see what to get for the Type 4s, 5s and 6s in your life.

For the ever present 4s in your life, here are some gift ideas for them:

  • Movie Passes For The Year – The emotionally deep Type 4s, who would often go to the movies for emotional cleansing, would fully appreciate this thoughtful gift! The ability to choose which movies that would help them to connect and process their immediate emotions would no doubt be very appealing to them.
  • A Good Meal At A Trendy Café – Type 4s love to savour the fine things in life and it comes as no surprise that they love it when aesthetics (in the décor) and good food come together in an Instagrammable setting. Want to show the Type 4 in your life a good time? Can’t go wrong with bringing them to the trendiest café in town!
  • Personalised Books For Journalling, Painting And Songwriting – For the unique, creative Type 4 in your life, what better way to tell them “I love who you are” by getting them a personalised book (that is theirs and theirs only) for them to unleash the creative maestro within them? A sure fire way to get to what matters to their heart.


 

For the practical Type 5s in your life, here are some gift ideas to let them know that you are digging the logical and practical person that they are:

  • Wallets & Purses – Type 5s love it when they receive gifts that are functional and nothing screams functionality like wallets and purses. Now, when they are going about the day, doing the practical things in life, they can also remember that there is someone in their lives who appreciate them for being the way they are.
  • A Good And Durable Pen – For Type 5s who love to take down copious amounts of notes, this would be a very good gift for them. No, you don’t have to get them the fancy ones; just make sure that the pen they are given is able to write smoothly and efficiently to keep up with their never ending thirst for information!
  • Subscriptions To Masterclass Or Data Storage Such As Dropbox – For the TedTalk loving Type 5s, why not push the envelope and get them a year’s subscription to learning platforms such as Masterclass. This way, they would be able to absorb information in video formats in a variety of topics at a faster rate. That would just be information heaven on earth for them! But why stop there? Why not also give them a year’s subscription to storage apps like Dropbox where they can create an online library of all they have learnt (by storing Google documents and the like) for time immemorial? (Or until the next year when they have to renew the plan)

 

For the ever dependable and steady Type 6s in your life, why not consider the following gift ideas?

  • Essential Oil Diffusers – Type 6s are always finding ways to help cope with the anxieties of life that is ever present in their minds. So the gift of essential oil diffusers where they can load their favourite scents and ohm their way to relaxation would be a welcome addition to their lives.
  • Personalised First Aid Kits – Type 6s always are prepared to take care of minor aches, pains and sprains for the people around them. So giving them a personalised first aid kit would not only allow them to do that, but would also allow them to put all their necessary ‘equipment’ and ‘tools’ in one snazzy looking kit bag!
  • All In One Multi Toolkit – Type 6s embody the phrase “Be Prepared (for anything)” and nothing screams preparedness quite like an all in one multi toolkit that has a screwdriver, nail clipper, fork, spoon (and so much more). Just imagine a Swiss Army knife – but on steroids. So what are you waiting for? Get one for them today! They would definitely love it!

So now, you have gift ideas to make the Type 1s to 6s in that red bag of tricks this Christmas season to make them feel special and seen. Next week, we round off the series on our last three types – the Type 7s, 8s and 9s.

In the meantime, enjoy the pretty Christmas lights in town as you get the ultimate gifts to say “Thank you for being in my life” to that special Type in your life.
