Introverts are a special breed who deserve special gifts.  The quiet mom, daughter, wife, or friend in your life will love these 12 gift ideas for introverts!

You know that friend or family member who loves spending time alone?  Can’t wait to leave parties so she can head home and curl up on the couch to binge-watch Netflix or get wrapped up in a good book?

She can be hard to shop for, right?

Here’s another introvert to the rescue!  (Me!)  I know it can be hard to find the perfect gift for quiet girls like me.  Because of this, I put together a gift guide tailored toward the reserved women in the crowd!

Gift Ideas for Introverts

As I said above, I’m an introvert myself, so you can trust that these recommendations are spot-on.  We introverts love receiving thoughtful gifts that embrace our quietness, enliven our senses, and help us recharge.  Each item on my list fits the bill for introverted women!

Are you ready?  Let’s (quietly) get to it!

Kindle Fire HD 10

Introverts love to get lost in their own world of books, movies, and TV shows.  Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD 10 is perfect for keeping an introvert busy at home or on the go!  Your favorite innie can read her favorite Kindle books, watch TV shows and movies, listen to audiobooks, and surf the web, all on 1 portable device.

Because the Kindle Fire HD is so affordable and versatile, it’s one of the best gift ideas for introverts.  I got the HD 10 last year for Christmas, and I use it every single day.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain

Every introvert needs a little empowerment now and then.  Quiet by Susan Cain is just what the shy doctor ordered!  Cain lays out a case for the power of introverts, and explains why we as introverts need to change the way we see ourselves.  It’s one of the most meaningful gift ideas for introverts out there.  The Kindle version of this book would be  the perfect companion to the Kindle Fire HD 10 above.

Bluetooth Headphones

Nothing says “I’d prefer to keep to myself” like a pair of adorable, oversized headphones.  In fact, headphones serve as a polite way for introverts to exit awkward conversations with strangers in public.  As a result, they’re one of the best, yet most surprising, gift ideas for introverts.

This cute pink pair from Mpow will be perfect for your introvert to strap on while on airplanes, the subway, or waiting in line.  Better yet, they’re designed for Bluetooth, which means they’re perfect for use with smart phones or tablets, such as the Kindle Fire above.

“Sorry I’m Late…” Tee

Not every innie runs from social activities.  However, many of us do secretly celebrate when plans are canceled!  For the (quietly) bold introvert, this quippy “Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come” t-shirt will speak her mind for her.  People who know and love her will enjoy it as well, and will agree wholeheartedly that it’s very “her.”

Leather Journal

We introverts like to be alone with our thoughts, and journaling can help us process our feelings and work through tough situations in our mind.  They’re also great for grocery lists and remembering what we need to accomplish today!  A sturdy leather journal is one of the more heartfelt gift ideas for introverts.  Like your favorite innie, it’s strong, understated, and dependable.

“Go Away” Doormat

One of the most fun gift ideas for introverts is this “go away” doormat.  While most introverts are caring people who are too polite to actually put this on their doorstep, it would still be lots of fun to put inside the house.  Your dear introvert might like to put it front of a bedroom door, the door into the garage, etc.  After all, she’s only (sort of) joking when she says things like that!

Lavender-Chamomile Bubble Bath

Living as an introvert in an extrovert’s world can be physically exhausting and mentally taxing.  A therapeutic bubble bath with soothing lavender and chamomile is the perfect solution.  The soothing scent and warm water will comfort both mind and body.  It’s one of the best gift ideas for introverts to enjoy after a long day of people-ing.

Sunglasses

One thing most introverts secretly dread?  Eye contact.  We can’t really explain why, but it makes us uncomfortable.  It can be easier for introverts to approach people with confidence (or avoid them, if needed) when we have awesome eyewear as a buffer between ourselves and the outside world.

These Wayfarer sunglasses from Ray-Ban are classically cool and look great on almost everyone.  They’re one of the most stylish gift ideas for introverts.

Essential Oil Diffuser

As introverts, we’re highly in tune with our senses.  Fragrances can influence our mood like you wouldn’t believe.  This essential oil diffuser from VicTsing might be one of the most impactful gift ideas for introverts.  Your fav shy girl can use it to get energized at the beginning of the day, unwind at night, or get into a great mood.

You might also want to grab some essential oils for her to use with her new diffuser, and she’ll be good to go!

Set of 6 Mini Owl Planters

Most of us introverts don’t like people, but we love plants and animals.  That’s because plants and animals offer us oodles of cuteness, with no awkward conversation!

This set of 6 mini owl planters are adorable, and they’ll give a nurturing introvert the opportunity to help something grow and thrive.  That’s one of our favorite things to do!.  Plus, what’s cuter than a parliament of little owls with succulent hats?!

Please note that these planters DON’T come with the plants included.  You can grab this set of 5 pre-planted succulents to go with the planters.  One of the 6 owls will have to politely wait his turn.

“We Have Cats” Mug

Okay, I have to admit… this is one thing on the list of gift ideas for introverts that’s aimed directly at myself.

While it’s not true of all introverts, a good number of us are cat people.  This “Come to the introvert side… we have cats” mug is perfect for kitty-loving innies like me.  We enjoy the calmness of felines, and the subtle yet deep emotional connection we share with our meowing companions.

You can help your introvert enjoy her new mug by adding a tea sampler or some yummy hot cocoa!

Cashmere Beanie

As I said earlier, introverts are highly attuned to our senses.  Soft fabrics like cashmere can provide us with a soothing experience, while keeping us warm.

A cashmere beanie in a subdued, neutral color is perfect.  It will give your sweet introvert something soft to touch and ensure her head stays cozy, all without drawing too much attention.  It’s one of the more luxurious gift ideas for introverts.
