Looking for something special for your favorite Enneagram Eight? Can’t decide what to pick up for your significant other or favorite workout buddy? You’re in luck! These gift guides are here to help you with your holiday shopping (and don’t forget to pick up a little something for yourself as well).

When I asked on Instagram, Eights were most interested in gifts for that they asked for, but a few requested surprises as well! Overall, Eights prefer quality over quantity, but there are a few things they want you to keep in mind: no knick knacks, no cheesy inspirational quotes, practicality is key, and basically… they just want to pick it out themselves. (In which case, gift cards and cash are great!)

Many Eights also shared that they would like something conceptual for the holidays, like financial security or quality time, so those things are represented here as well. But if you’re like me, and you enjoy hand-selecting gifts for your favorite humans, here’s a list of ideas to help you out.

HERE’S THE FULL LIST OF MOST-REQUESTED GIFTS FROM EIGHTS:

Not sure what type you are? Here’s a little more about Eights.

Enneagram Eights are powerful and dynamic. They are motivated by a need to protect themselves and to avoid vulnerability. Eights are in the Gut or Anger triad, and they are not afraid of confrontation. Eights have a keen understanding of their own intuition, and they tend to trust their gut to lead them through life. They are truth-tellers and highly justice-oriented: they will always stick up for the underdog.
