Adapter

Our chameleon friends love to adapt to changing situations. What better way to adapt to changing weather than with pants that turn into shorts in two quick zips?!

Altruist

An ideal Saturday night for an Altruist? Hosting friends. Let them show off their enthusiastic preciseness with this three-tier serving platter. You know Altruists can make a mean cheese board.

Analyzer

Analyzers have high-standards (which isn’t a bad thing!), and our local weather people don’t always get the forecast right. The 2022 Farmer’s Almanac might!

Artisan

An Artisan loves a good project. Help them produce (pun intended) results with a tabletop herb garden.

Captain

You know what Captains love? Being the Captain. They can tell the world with the perfect t-shirt.

Collaborator

Your Collaborator friends would rather spend time with you than receive a gift (awwww). What’s better than an escape room quest?

Controller

A detail-orientated Controller never loses anything. Their only trouble is losing track of family and friends. Gift them tile tracker stickers, which stick to “virtually anything.”

Guardian

Get focused anywhere, anytime, with a pocket brain teaser puzzle. Guardians won’t be able to put it down (seriously).

Individualist

Persistence is difficult with distractions. An Individualist might appreciate some headphones to tune out the noise.

Maverick

Flying lessons. Enough said.

Operator

Patient and a team-player? Sounds like an Operator might be interested in a patience-testing jigsaw puzzle.

Persuader

Persuaders need time to shine. Allow them to show off at your next gathering with a karaoke machine.

Promoter

With their uninhibited energy, Promoters will have the time of their life participating in an improv class.

Scholar

You know what a reserved and imaginative Scholar loves? Reading! Help them discover new reads with a subscription to Audible (the new “books on tape”)!

Specialist

Specialists appreciate precision. Do you know what that means? OFFICE SUPPLIES! Stationary, label makers, and desk organizers might do the trick.

Strategist

Blow the mind of the Strategist in your life with a 5-year planner (yes, this actually exists).

Venturer

Venturers love taking risks, but crave some independence. A virtual reality headset might be perfect.
