Confession: I'm an introvert and I STILL don't know what to get my introvert friends & family for birthdays and Christmas! Until now, that is! This list of introvert gift ideas has the perfect mix of funny, sarcastic, and even serious, too. Let's face it: introverts get a bad rap as being shy, anti-social, or both! But that's just not true! These gifts help change the narrative! #giftsforintroverts #bestgiftsforintroverts #introverted #introvert #introvertgifts

Do you have a special introvert in your life?

If you’re not sure, she’s probably the one who sometimes declines invitations to parties (and hardly ever hosts them), spends money on comfy sweaters (and books), and doesn’t pick up when you call…but she’d be more than happy to text!

This go-to gift list is specially curated by an introvert (that’s me!) for introverts. So if you’re not sure what your introvert BFF will love, you can be sure one of these gifts will please. (Or at least get a good laugh.)

Here’s to a wild Friday night…alone!

 

The Best Gifts for Introverts

1. Too Peopley Outside Tee

too peoply outside tee

While walking through Banff National Park in Canada recently, I saw a gal about my age wearing this “Too Peopley” shirt. Oh, how this introvert resonates with that! (And, yes, I did later search for that shirt online and bought it!) I’m convinced every introvert should own one.

2. I Can’t People Today Mug 

I can't people today mug

Along the same lines, what better way to say you’re not ready to speak until you finish your coffee (or maybe not even after!) than to use this mug with a message! It seems like a big enough hint.

3. Go Away Doormat

welcome mat with "Go Away" text

Our grandparents may have grown up in an era where unplanned visits were a thing; people just stopped by unannounced all the time! But nowadays, text me first. And just turn around if you’re greeted by this doormat. Unless you’re delivering my Amazon package!

4. Small Talk Survivor Pins

small talk survivor pins

Have you ever left a party exhausted but proud of yourself because you exchanged “hi, how are you’s” with at least bajillion people and lived to tell the tale? Now you can pat yourself on the back (or help the introvert in your life do the same!) with these pretty pins that make the perfect gifts for introverts!

5. Functional Introverts Bag

bag that says "functional introverts association"

There is just no other joy in life than a cancelled meeting, am I right? The relief, the wonder of what to do with an extra hour! Enjoy that feeling all the time with this Introverts Association bag!

6. Selectively Social Tee

selectively social tee

Introverts get a bad rap as being shy, anti-social, or both! But that’s just not true! Rather, introverts recharge alone and feel drained after long periods of time with people (or short periods of time with certain people). Help change the narrative with this cute tee that makes a darling addition to your stash of introvert gifts.

7. Let’s Stay Home Sign

sign that says "Let's stay home"

Homebodies unite (separately)! Celebrate your love of home with this beautiful lettered sign you can hang anywhere in your home (the closer to the front door, the better).

8. Introvert Pencils

If the introvert in your life is also a student or a writer, these pencils are perfect for them! Not only are they funny; some could be their new motto.

9. MBTI bracelet

I’m an INFJ and proud of it! If the introvert in your life knows and loves the MBTI personality assessment as much as I do, she’ll be thrilled to receive this necklace personalized to her type! In my opinion, these definitely rank up there as one of the top best gifts for introverts.

10. Homebody by Joanna Gaines

the book HomeBody by Joanna Gaines

I haven’t yet read this book but who doesn’t love Chip and Jo? I adored my time at the Magnolia Market and have this book on my wish list (hint hint). The introvert in your life will love this gift designed to help us homebodies love the home we’re in!

11. Quiet by Susan Cain

the book Quiet by Susan Cain

This New York Times bestseller took introverts by storm a couple years ago, and it’s just as relevant today! Inspire and encourage your favorite introvert with this in-depth look at what makes them tick and why the world needs them. Bonus: there’s also a kid’s version!

Wrap up your gift with pretty paper and a bow, then stop by and let your favorite introvert know you were thinking of them. Just remember to text first!

    Fellow INFJ here … this list made me chuckle. Did you know Susan Cain has a book for kids and teens as well? The title is Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverted Kids. The media specialist at the school where I teach handed me a copy, and it was also delightful. I’d read her book for grownups years ago, but the version for students had some helpful reminders too!
    May you have plenty of restorative alone time this holiday season! 😉

What’s one thing you budget for that other peopl
What’s one thing you budget for that other people might not? I always find those interesting. 😃⁣ ⁣ You might have a mortgage. I budget for campgrounds. You might want a separate clothing budget, while I’m fine combining it under “Beauty and Style.” Recently, we also added a new line item for our motorcycle—something I NEVER thought would appear in our budget. ⁣ ⁣ See, we’re all different! ⁣ ⁣ Recently, I rearranged my budget categories and created this “cheat sheet.” Sometimes I forget where things go, like picking up new wall art for the living room. Does this item belong in the categories of Household Items or Home Maintenance? 🤔⁣ ⁣ Now I know! And I save time processing receipts each Friday. 🧾⁣ ⁣ What budgeting categories do you use? Share one of your random budget line items with me in the comments below! 😃

I call 2020 the Year of Abandoned Books. ⁣ ⁣ I’m never afraid to stop reading a book if it doesn’t live up to the hype. Why invest more time in a book I’m not all that excited about when I could be exploring new authors and storylines where I can’t wait to turn the page? 🤷⁣ ⁣ But in 2020, I let more books go than I normally do. I suppose my patience dwindled when I thought the world was ending. Not that I thought the world was actually ending…but you know what I mean. 😉⁣ ⁣ As an Enneagram 1, I hate giving up on a book. I’m prone to the all-or-nothing mentality, even in my reading habits. My eyes could glaze over boring prose and I’d still repeat to myself: “You MUST finish this book!” 😫⁣ ⁣ Why? ⁣ ⁣ No one is adding a plastic star to your Book-It pin, (Remember those?) This isn’t assigned reading from your high school English class. This is YOUR reading life. ⁣ ⁣ And YOU should choose what books deserve your attention. 📚⁣ ⁣ There are too many good ones out there anyway. Like one of my favorite reads from 2020. 😍⁣ ⁣ This week’s newest blog post rounds up everything I read last year (43 books total!) including 5-star psychological thrillers, a delightful royal series, a couple self-help books, and of course, historical fiction.⁣ ⁣ Click the link in my bio to read it! ☝⁣ ⁣ What were your favorite books in 2020? Our literary styles might be a match made in heaven! ✨

My planner/journal lineup for 2021. 👆 ⁣ ⁣ These small but mighty sidekicks will be my saving grace this year. 📚⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Bullet Journal (Blue) - for everyday planning and goal setting⁣ 2️⃣ Regular Journal (Yellow) - to track gratitude (5 things a day!) and to process ALL the feelings⁣ 3️⃣ Growth Journal (Sand) - a space for me to brain dump everything I learn from books, podcasts, sermons, etc ⁣ ⁣ That last one is new to me as of this year and I can't wait to flip back through all my notes come December! 📆⁣ ⁣ What planners/journals are you using for 2021?

Self-care is just as important as making your famo
Self-care is just as important as making your famous sugar cookies this holiday season. 🍪⁣ ⁣ Because let’s be real. ⁣ ⁣ That Hallmark-esque Christmas magic disappears the moment disagreeable family members annoy you. Or when you feel irritable over too many late nights and little-to-no sleep. Or when expectations over meals and traditions and social activities fall short and leave you feeling disappointed. 😬⁣ ⁣ But instead of dwelling on these stressful moments and using them as an excuse to completely disconnect from reality (as I’m often tempted to do!), view them as an opportunity for you to respond with poise. 💞⁣ ⁣ ➕ Journal your feelings. ⁣ ➕ Go for a walk. ⁣ ➕ Prioritize what’s essential. ⁣ ➕ Remember to breathe.⁣ ➕ And try not to eat your feelings…okay?⁣ ⁣ Here’s your permission slip if you need one: You don’t need to do or participate in everything! Take a time out when you need it. 🙌⁣ ⁣ That’s the best way you can protect your emotional well-being over the next few days.⁣ ⁣ Merry Christmas, friends! 🎄


I know you’re ready for this year to be over. 🙋‍♀️ The last twelve months brought so many hard things into our lives—relationships were lost, our country became more broken and divided than ever, and oh yeah, we walked through a pandemic too. 🦠 🤯 No biggie, right? Ha! 😅 And while it’s easy to look back and wish we could skip 2020 altogether (or at least insist on a do-over), I don’t want this year to be the one where the hard overcame the good. 💕 Just as hard days don’t mean ruined days, hard years don’t mean ruined years. 2020 can still be good. 💪 For me, I want to remember the fun and exciting things we did. The adventures we had. The new shows we watched, and the books we read. The new life hacks and things I discovered that made my life easier or just brought me joy. 💞 You’ll find it all in my latest blog post (link in profile). If you still need to buy a gift for a loved one (or for yourself!), you’ll find plenty of fun and affordable ideas to fill up the rest of your gifting list. 📦 Otherwise, enjoy a stroll down the good side of 2020’s memory lane and leave your favorite things in the comments so I can try them. 👋


Pro minimalism tip: Use double-duty appliances. 🤯⁣ ⁣ With limited kitchen space, I have to be super careful about what appliances we invite into the RV. We already had an Instant Pot, Ninja Blender, and a Food Processor. But I really wanted an air-fryer! ⁣ ⁣ With no place to put it, I discovered that Instant Pot made a dual instant pot/air-fryer product. So I gave my instant pot away, and my mom bought me this one for an early Christmas present. I’ve only played with it a couple of times but I’m already in love! 💕⁣ ⁣ Kale chips...sweet potato fries...broccoli. I’m basically an air-frying queen now. And I can easily switch back to the instant pot whenever I want. Yay for two appliances in one! 🥳⁣ ⁣ Q: What is your favorite appliance to use? Is it double duty? 🤔
