Oh and if you are curious what your number is, here is a great place to start. Now let’s explore this gift guide for each Enneagram type.
The Ultimate Gift Guide for Each Enneagram
Type One: What to get your favorite Reformer
Type ones are highly organized, ethical, and feel secure with boundaries. They like following the rules and have high standards for themselves and those around them. The ideal gifts for Ones are things that help them stay organized, maintain order or improve their lives.
I suggest a high-end planner, such as these lovely ones from cloth and paper, a jewelry box that is stylish and practical, or anything that will keep the One’s spaces orderly.
Type Two: Gifts for The Helper
Twos are kind-hearted, sincere, and altruistic. They are natural caregivers and helping others is embedded in their very core. The problem is that Twos are not always great at prioritizing themselves. That’s why ideal gifts for Twos are picked those focused on self-care.
Candles, skincare sets, and yoga gear are solid choices as gifts for type Twos.
Type Three: The Achiever, gifts that make the cut
Of all the enneagram fans out there, the Threes are definitely the most vocal. They are charming, ambitious, driven, and love to win. For Threes, the best gifts are those that help them excel and find ways to get ahead.
Personal development books like Atomic Habits, Essentialism are two great choices. Other ideas are quotes and affirmation art. Threes love a good inspirational quote! Etsy has amazing choices like the selection in this store.
Type Four: The Individualist, gifts that make you feel seen
Fours the rarest type and definitely the most self-aware of all the types. They are sensitive, reserved, and tend to be artistic and see themselves as separated and different from everyone else.
Fours will enjoy personalized jewelry, and gifts that allow them to express their creativity. A blank sketchbook or journal will be a safe bet for Fours. Anything that makes them feel understood is the perfect gift for a Four.
Type Five: The investigator
Fives are insightful and curious. They thrive when problem-solving and dealing with complex tasks or ideas. They are also fiercely independent and can be a bit intense when focused on a given task or problem. Fives are the type that would enjoy a good thriller like Ruth Ware’s books or an intricate puzzle.
Gifts for Fives should lean into their naturally curious nature, like games, online classes (highly recommend a Masterclass.com subscription which I discussed here). Fives also tend to be private individuals so be sure to look for gifts that they would enjoy while on their own.
Type 6: The loyalist
Where Fives tend to retreat inward, Sixes tend to be just as resourceful but they are more social. Sixes are team players, excellent communicators, and extremely detail-oriented.
As with Twos, they tend to give a lot of themselves to others and therefore gifts that focus on unwinding are great options. They will also enjoy a good book that contains romance and intrigue or the more practical ones like The worst-case scenario survival guide.
Type Seven: The Enthusiast
Sevens are positive, resourceful, and love being around people. They love to entertain, be part of fun events and they hate feeling like they are missing out. For Sevens, the ideal gifts are experiences, (like a broadway show) a baking or cooking gadget, or anything that will elevate their home.
Sevens also tend to be versatile and skilled in many areas. If you know that your Seven has a particular hobby or gift they excel at, gifts revolving around that are great options as well.
Type Eight: The Challenger
Eights are self-confident, strong, straight-talking, and decisive. They know what they want and won’t stop until they get it. Because of their competitive nature, a gift like the Peloton, with their built-in challenges and leaderboard scores would be an excellent gift for an energetic Eight.
Type Eights are also highly aesthetic and take great care of their environment. Orchids and other beautiful plants are perfect for Eights.
Type Nine: The Peacemaker
Nines are level-headed, calm, and diplomatic. like Fours and Sevens, they are usually very creative. Nines are optimistic and enjoy being around people. They tend to be the peacemakers of any group and they internalize stress. The ideal gift for Nines is anything that helps them focus and decompress.
Ideal gifts for Nines would be a subscription to the headspace app, a bonsai garden kit, or a lovely bath set for a luxurious bath.
