The Perfect Holiday Gift for Every Myers-Briggs Type

myers briggs holiday gift guide

It's that time of year. There's a holiday gift guide out there for just about everyone on your list, and you've probably made some good headway on it. But there's always that person who's hard to shop for. Whether you're searching for the perfect gift to wow the coworker you hardly know or the best friend who seems to have everything, it's easy to second guess yourself. Why not look to everyone's fave personality test — the Myers Briggs — for some inspo?

Since each of the 16 personality types has its unique quirks and interests (and dislikes), you can eliminate some of the holiday-shopping guesswork and cater to how your loved one is hardwired. Here are gift suggestions for each MBTI type so spot-on that you might not even need a gift receipt.

ISTJ: The Logician

Quiet, serious, and matter of fact, the ISTJ is probably one of the most grounded, logical people you know. Since this type values all things practical and is invested in upholding tradition, they'd probably appreciate a straightforward, timeless-yet-useful gift that tends to their natural sense of orderliness.

Gift idea: an Instant Pot ($70+), the ideal kitchen multi-tasker, with a cookbook to go with it.

ISFJ: The Defender

ISFJs are practical, harmonious, and committed to loving and understanding their friends and family — the type of friend who remembers everything about everyone. Your ISFJ friend or family member is probably fairly nostalgic, so a meaningful gift that's still practical would be right up their alley.

Gift idea: a23andMe or Ancestry.com DNA kit to explore and analyze their genetics and genealogy.

INFJ: The Advocate

INFJs are conscientious, insightful, and deep, finding meaning and purpose in ideas and relationships. When it comes to their material possessions, they look for the same type of depth. Opt for an uplifting but efficient gift that contributes to the INFJ's values and connects them to themselves and those they love.

Gift idea: a Vitruvi Essential Oil Diffuser ($119) or a Radha Beauty Essential Oils Starter Kit ($20).

INTJ: The Architect

The INTJ in your life is probably obsessed with efficiency. They're always looking for ways to optimize their life, so chances are they are into life hacks and cutting-edge gadgets. Aim for an innovative gift that helps your INTJ loved-one streamline their home or life.

Gift idea: a Roku, Nest, or Google Home to make household operations smoother with the touch of a button.

ISTP: The Virtuoso

ISTPs are typically quiet observers, but when a problem comes up — BOOM! — they're hands on, looking for a solution. As you can guess, this personality loves to tinker. Any gift that involves strategy, problem-solving, or logic will be a winner.

Gift idea: a robotics or coding kit like the Heatile Hydraulic Robotic Arm Kit ($100).

ISFP: The Adventurer

Compassionate and deep to the core, ISFPs are artists passionate about seeing and experiencing the beauty of everyday life. For this quirky guy or gal, look for something artistic and unique — and ideally something that allows them to indulge in or express beauty.

Gift idea: an annual membership to a local art museum.

INFP: The Mediator

INFPs are soulful idealists who are deeply connected to their emotions and ideas. They have a soft spot for all things beautiful and poetic, especially those that somehow express or affirm their deepest-held values.

Gift idea: a book of poetry, like Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey($8) or one of the books listed here.

INTP: The Logician

Your INTP friend is — how do we say this — a little bit nerdy (and they'll admit it). They love the abstract, and they're drawn to anything theoretical. Sometimes critical and always analytical, the INTP would be pumped about any gift that indulges their love for learning about somewhat random ideas.

Gift idea: A book that provides logical explanations for something that interests them (Stuck? Aim for a pop-philosophy-social-science book you heard about on NPR. Think Freakonomics by Steven Levitt ($10) or anything by Malcom Gladwell, like Talking to Strangers.)

ESTP: The Entrepreneur

More than any other type, ESTPs are straight-shooting go-getters, which means they like nice things that serve a purpose. A fun and flashy gift would be a great choice for this spontaneous, style-conscious loved one.

Gift idea: a nice piece of costume jewelry or statement earrings, like these from J.Crew or, for the guys, a high-quality and trendy watch (maybe one of those wooden ones?).

ESFP: The Entertainer

ESFPs are the life of the party. Outgoing, friendly, and lovable, this personality makes everything fun. Celebrate this friend or family member by getting a gift that helps them do what they do best: Enjoy life and help others do the same.

Gift idea: Concert tickets (T-Swift's reputation tour, perhaps?) or, if that's out of the budget, a Spotify premium subscription so they always have something to dance to (including Taylor Swift).

ENFP: The Campaigner

The ENFP is vibrant and enthusiastic, deriving meaning and purpose from ideas and relationships. They love to be the life of the party, but they also love a deep conversation about the ideas that make them tick. For this personality, look for something with equal parts wit and heart.

Gift idea: a colorful coffee mug inked with tidbits of wisdom, or whimsical temporary tattoos of inspiring phrases.

ENTP: The Debater

An ENTP is an inventor (and, if we're honest, probably a hipster). This personality type wants to change the world and always has new, exciting ideas for doing it. Anything avant-garde, inventive, and potentially world-changing will be a win for this person.

Gift idea: a Mr. Beer At-Home Beer Brewing Kit ($50) or The Kombucha Shop Brewing Kit ($49).

ESTJ: The Executive

The ambitious, goal-oriented, and serious personality loves to get things done, and nothing can get in their way. The ESTJ knows exactly what they want and probably has a five or 10-year plan for how to get there.

Gift idea: money or a gift card. ESTJ knows best.

ESFJ: The Consul

Both easygoing and outgoing, the ESFJ is a natural host or hostess and loves to surround themselves with loved ones. A practical and pleasant gift — something that contributes to the ESFJ's desire to create warmth and harmony — will be a big hit.

Gift idea: a romantic, floral Abbie Apron ($34) or a nice set of Champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses.

ENFJ: The Protagonist

ENFJs are the best of both worlds: equally responsible and warm, which means they're great friends with a knack for bringing out the best in others. This highly engaging personality would be obsessed with anything personalized just for them.

Gift idea: a Layered and Long Hand-Stamped Gold Bar Necklace ($40+) with their initials (or their spouse/kids' initials), or a custom night sky map representing an important night in their life.

ENTJ: The Commander

Ambitious visionaries with strong personalities, the ENTJ is results-oriented, and as such, loves anything efficient and effective. Any gift that helps this person overcome inefficiency and expand their knowledge — and show it off — is a great idea.

Gift idea: a pair of UGG Wool Blend Knit Tech Gloves ($75) so they can work on the go — or, if it's in the budget, anything with a touchscreen.

Scroll on to shop the cutest gingham maxi dresses for spring!

Nordstrom

Princess Polly Cartmel Gingham Check Maxi Dress

This prairie-inspired dress is so sweet. It's got plenty of coverage, though the upper half fitted with a square neckline leans more femme and flirty. The flowy skirt just barely grazes the floor, enhancing the breeziness of the design! Plus, we adore that the gingham is a bit bulkier, as opposed to more micro patterns.

Reformation

Reformation Kiria Dress

This pick's complete with a totally-smocked bodice that hugs your upper half in the best way possible. It also comes down on your waist a bit further than you'd expect, supplying an elongating drop waist effect (which is super trendy at the mome). The cap sleeve-high neck combo feel undeniably cutesy together – we'd pair this dress with some ballet flats for an easy get-up.

Quince

Quince 100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress

This dress' silhouette is fairly simple, meaning you can style it in endless ways for spring and summer. No matter what you wear it with, it's especially nice on the waistline, thanks to the subtle pleating and stretchy, smocked back panel.

Urban Outfitters

Kimchi Blue Renee Smocked Maxi Dress

To amp up the feminine vibes even further, this maxi dress is dotted in illustrations of bows and lil' fruits that recall the spring season perfectly! The straps in the back make a criss-cross shape that's both pretty and practical for holding you in.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Emerson Poplin Puff Sleeve Midi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch simply kills it in the dress department every time. Case in point is this drop-dead gorgeous red gingham number that's elevated by some puff sleeves and a stylish tiered skirt. All the details found throughout this piece make it feel so whimsical and wonderfully comfy for spring outings.

Reformation

Reformation Elvira Dress

Bubble hem? Check. Open back? Check. This Reformation dress has it all, especially if you're all about taking on the latest fashion trends. It even has a subtle drop waist for an undeniable princess feel.

Nordstrom

City Chic Valley Check Maxi Dress

The sleeves on this adorable green number come with ties for a unique detail you can't often find in other gingham maxi dresses.

Nordstrom

Dôen Emmaretta Gingham Pleated Voile Maxi Dress

With a milkmaid neckline, this maxi is downright dreamy. It's also tastefully embellished with some ruffles and bows up front, adding to the vibe even more. We'd rock this cutie with some white Mary Jane flats or even brown cowgirl boots to pair up with the sheer timelessness of gingham.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Mila Stretch Midi Dress

The vertical seaming on this A&F dress give it a flattering quality, smoothing and shaping your waist to a tee. What's more is the cotton-blend fabric it's cut from is infused with a good amount of stretch to ensure it's comfy all day long!

Ann Taylor’s spring dress collection is just too good. They always nail polished styles that still have the perfect amount of playfulness! From fun prints to more basic colorways, these stunning spring dresses from Ann Taylor can take you practically anywhere in style.

Scroll on to shop 8 Ann Taylor dresses I'm definitely eyeing for spring!

Ann Taylor

Belted Sheath Dress

Springtime is prime time for pastels, and this light pink number nails the seasonal color. It's pretty polished in the details throughout, plus it's all cinched together oh-so nicely with the thin belt around the waist.

Ann Taylor

Studio Collection Silk Flutter Sleeve Midi Dress

Oh, yeah. The ruching on the side of this silky midi is nothing short of flattering – I could definitely see this style working wonderfully as a wedding guest dress.

Ann Taylor

Striped Pleated Sweater Tank Dress

With contrasting vertical and horizontal stripes, this sweater-y (but still lightweight) tank dress doesn't have to work too hard to make a statement. Thus, you can easily pair it with some basic black shoes and a colorful cardigan to complete your spring look.

Ann Taylor

Tweed Sheath Dress

This color, though! Aside from the stunning buttons and modest coverage, I love the bold shade of this dress for spring. Again, it really speaks for itself, so you shouldn't have to dress it up too much to pull a 'fit.

Ann Taylor

Square Neck Flare Dress

Easy-wearing and oh-so soft thanks to the light material it's made of, this midi dress is practically begging to become your everyday piece this spring. A square neckline is always flattering, plus this design's skirt is the right amount of casual.

Ann Taylor

Dotted Crepe Column Midi Dress

Polka dots are the pattern to rock this season, so I'm obviously eyeing this chic silhouette. It's fairly free-flowing, but comes with a sleek belt at the waist to gather your look together.

Ann Taylor

Denim Sheath Dress

Denim dresses are everything to me, and I love that this one makes a more formal departure from the other casual denim pieces in my closet. It definitely has a workwear quality to it – I'd wear it with ballet flats and a polished cardigan for an easy, yet put-together spring outfit.

Ann Taylor

Striped Smocked-Waist Midi Flare Dress

Hello, waistline! This midi comes complete with a smocked waist that flatters your bod to a tee.

I've been waiting to see Wicked: Part 2 (officially titles Wicked: For Good) since long before the credits rolled on Elphaba's "Defying Gravity" in November of 2024. I was born for this! And not only have we gotten a brief glimpse at Cynthia Erivo's iconic Wicked Witch of the West look, we also just got a look at the new Wicked: For Good poster thanks to some folks at CinemaCon — and it shows off Elphaba and Glinda's (Ariana Grande) incredible costumes in the new movie.

Here's a breakdown of that Wicked: For Good poster from CinemaCon — and Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande's new Wicked costumes.

What's up with the Wicked 2 poster?

The first Wicked: For Good poster debuted in Las Vegas during CinemaCon, and attendees immediately clocked the new images upon arriving. After Wicked ended with Elphaba escaping the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum), Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), and the Emerald City, and Glinda staying behind, it's no surprise that the first look at both these ladies features a huge chasm between them. Another X user also points out the two cliffs and the Wizard's castle between them form a W!

But my favorite detail about the Wicked 2 poster is Glinda and Elphaba's costumes. With her broom, her hat, and her coat, Elphaba looks more like the Wicked Witch of the West than ever before, while Glinda has swapped her all-pink wardrobe for a periwinkle gown.

I immediately clocked the color shift — especially since Glinda is working so closely with Madame Morrible now, and it totally feels like the clothing reflects just how much influence Glinda's allowing Madame Morrible to have over her. After all, the Emerald City might be green, but Shiz University is all blue (as are Madame Morrible's most iconic outfits).

What does "for good" mean in Wicked?

"For Good" is a song in Act 2 of Wicked (that we'll also hear in Wicked: For Good) about how Elphaba and Glinda have changed each other's lives forever — and, even though they say "who can say if I've been changed for the better?", I'd say that they way they affected each other's empathy, confidence, and kindness proves they really did change each other for the better.

What is Wicked: For Good going to be about?

Wicked: Part Two is going to pick up after the events of Part One: Elphaba is on the run (and being blamed for everything going wrong), Glinda has stayed behind and become the spokesperson for the Wizard, and the animals continue to lose their ability to speak. Meanwhile, Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) is determined to find Elphaba, and Nessarose (Marissa Bode) is increasingly infatuated with Boq (Ethan Slater).

When does Wicked: For Good come out?

Wicked: For Good is flying into theaters November 21, 2025.

Who's in the cast of Wicked: For Good?

The Wicked: For Good cast features all your favorite stars from the first movie:

  • Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba: an emerald-green young woman possessing remarkable magic.
  • Ariana Grande as Glinda: Elphaba's best friend who's morphed from popular girl to political spokesperson.
  • Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero: a dashing prince who refuses to believe the rumors about Elphaba.
  • Ethan Slater as Boq: a munchkin who's in love with Glinda.
  • Marissa Bode as Nessarose: Elphaba's little sister.
  • Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard of Oz: a man from our world who found himself in Oz.
  • Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible: Shiz University's sorcery professor.

We Totally Missed This Bridgerton Cameo In The Wicked Movie. Did you?

Zendaya's got her plate full with an engagement to Tom Holland and starring in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, but she's still on a mission. Her latest project finds her embodying singer Veronica "Ronnie" Spector in A24's Be My Baby and it feels like the ideal role for her. It's true she's known for her acting and ethereal style (guided by Law Roach's watchful and genius eyes), but Zendaya also has a beautiful singing voice. In our honest (and unfiltered opinion), it's about time she's granted the opportunity to portray a legendary figure in the music industry.

Scroll to learn everything we know about Be My Baby and Zendaya's role as Ronnie Spector!

What is the plot for 'Be My Baby?'

James Kriegsmann/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Deadlinereports Be My Baby will cover Ronnie Spector's life as it specifically pertains to being with late producer Phil Spector. Harper's Bazaar also reports the film will show the formation of the Ronettes, their record deal at Phil Spector's Philles Records.

Though he was known for contributing to some of the greatest acts in music (the Ronettes and Ike & Tina Turner), Phil was still a problematic man who eventually committed a deathly crime (via The Independent). Before that, The Independent revealed Ronnie & Phil's marriage was the result of an affair that led to the singer having to run for her life after being held hostage in her own home.

Did Ronnie Spector pen a memoir that has the same name as the film?

Amazon

Yes! Ronnie Spector's memoir Be My Baby was released after her death and gives readers an inside look at being a member of the Ronettes, fame, and volatile moments in her relationship with producer Phil Spector. Though parts of her story will garner tears, Ronnie also details the highs of her career once she found her voice again.

Did Zendaya have to audition for the role of Ronnie Spector in 'Be My Baby?'

Mike Coppola/Getty Images for The Gotham Film & Media Institute,

According to Variety, Ronnie Spector selected Zendaya to play her in Be My Baby. The singer was also set to be an executive producer of the film before passing away in 2022 (via Deadline).

Her death garnered a heartfelt tribute on Zendaya's Instagram as the actress referred to her as "a magical force of greatness." She ended her lengthy caption with, "I hope to make you proud."

Who's the director and screenplay writer for 'Be My Baby?'

Filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Mufasa, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Moonlight) will direct Be My Baby while Dave Kajganich (Bones and All) is in charge of the film's screenplay.

Production hasn't started yet for Be My Baby, but we're looking forward to seeing Ronnie Spector's life told through Zendaya, Barry Jenkins, and Dave Kajganich's eyes.
