The Most Unique (and Thoughtful) Gifts for the Extrovert in Your Life

Getting gifts for extroverts can be really fun. After all, they’re social butterflies and love to connect with people (and just naturally love the idea of gift-giving—because this means socializing and connecting with others).

Unlike introverts, who typically feel more recharged by spending more solo time, extroverts experience a lot of fulfillment from social interaction. As clinical psychologist Thea Gallagher, PsyD previously told Well+Good, extroverts “get a lot of joy and pleasure from being with people.” Not that we really need the scientific proof that extroverts love being surrounded by others (we’d say it’s a fairly obvious observation in day-to-day life), but it’s there if ya need.

That said, if you’re looking for holiday or birthday gifts for the social butterflies in your life, it may be worth finding something that helps these folks engage and connect to the people around them on an even deeper level. For the extroverts in your life, check out these top picks.
