When buying for friends who you know well enough to know their MBTI, it's clear that the bond is pretty strong. For those special people who you know inside and out, gift-giving can be even more stressful. The more you know, the more choice you have and the harder it is to pick that one special item for a loved one.
These gifts are ideal choices for different personality types whether they be introverts, extroverts, thinkers or feelers. Let your loved ones know you love them for who they are and what their true nature makes them contribute to the world, with these gift ideas.
