I absolutely love buying gifts for people. But I hate it as well. I never know what to get them. It’s important for me to get them something that has meaning and something that’s useful for them. I know this is challenging for people buying gifts for us as well, so I put together a list.
The INFJ in your life probably has a list too. Check out their Amazon wish list or their Pinterest account for clues as to what to buy them.
You can also use this list as a gift guide for yourself. It’s not selfish to buy yourself gifts, it’s an important part of self care. It’s just one more reminder that you are just as important as everyone else in your life.
Books
Books are always a great idea for INFJs. We love quiet time and learning. We typically have a list of books that we want, usually revolving around whatever current thing we are obsessed with. Here are a few of my favorites:
Snackies
An introverts best friend is snackies. I love things that I can stash in my room so that I don’t have to go outside and see people. The kind of snacks that we like differ but you can always count on a few trusted standbys.
Art/Creative
INFJs are creative as well as logical. We have an amazing imagination and are typically good at art. It’s a way for us to express our feelings without talking about them. Some of my favorite crafts are bullet journals, scrapbooks and graphic design.
Writing
I love writing! The more that I write the more I love it. I write on my computer, my iPad and in a journal, nearly every day. I can never have enough options for writing.
I also love my blog. It has changed my life in so many ways. I would love to give that gift to others as well.
Podcasting
I started a podcast this year and it’s a whole new fun thing. Being able to get out there and connect with people in a whole new way is such an amazing feeling! If you or the INFJ in your life are thinking of starting a podcast here’s a great list to get you/them started.
Adobe products – including Audition to record and edit your podcast
Self-Care
Self-care is so important for us to keep in mind. You are just as important as all of the other people in your life. And being an introvert it’s important that you schedule time to spend by yourself to recharge.
Shameless self plug!
Pre-order my book!! I’m writing a book all about INFJs. It’s packed full of all of the info that I went looking for when I found out that I was an INFJ as well as advice on how to handle different things. It’s a great gift for you or anyone in your life who wants to know more about INFJs.
Conclusion
INFJs are complex people, but when it comes to buying us gifts we are quite simple. We want something special and meaningful. The more thought you put into our gifts the better. We appreciate all of the thought that goes into each one of our gifts.
