What to give a Glorious Gold (SJ) for Christmas



The core need for our glorious Golds is belonging, tradition and responsibility. Think about practicality and how the gift will help the Gold personality type carry out their responsibilities or honour a family tradition. Do not be extravagant and ensure that the gift is of high quality. Some gift ideas - a planner for the new year, a new briefcase to replace the old worn one, a labeller - Golds are very organized, or an alarm clock to ensure that the Gold is always on time. Gold personality types will appreciate that you put some thought behind the gift. As long as you are happy they are happy.

What to Give an NF (Blue) for Christmas



Meaning and Significance - that's the key to a Blue's heart. The Blue temperament has a core need for unique identity, meaning and significance. Their talents are as caregivers, facilitators and mentors. They value harmony and cooperation. People of the blue temperament will not really care about gifts so much, that is of the material type. You will really impress a blue if you wrote a poem about them, or as Minnie did, knit something special for them. Blue's are often found in the Self Help section of the book store - careful though - they may already have all of them! Try a wall plaque that has a motivational saying, or a day out that pampers them, blues so often are caring for others. No matter what you give a blue, it will be treasured and appreciated. Blues are relationship centred, any gift that treasures your relationship with them will be welcomed.
