44 Gifts for Introverts That’ll Help Them Recharge Their Batteries

Introverted humans—a category to which I proudly belong—are often misunderstood. It’s not that they prefer to be alone, it’s just that they need to balance activities that require extroversion, spending times in crowds, or anything that specifically drains their batteries with pursuits that help them recharge. Often, such activities just so happen to be done in solitude. With that in mind, the following is a list of 44 gifts for introverts—be they the social, thinking, anxious, or restrained type—that will help them recover their mental, physical, and emotional energy so they can ideally spend more time with you.

Even though they tend to be less motivated by external rewards, introverts still like receiving gifts, just like everyone else. Below, you’ll find a list of gifts for introverts, ranging from bath additives (including a book of DIY bathing potions) to self-care to self-pleasure and beauty products, plus much more. Keep reading to delight and surprise your favorite introvert this holiday season that’ll let them know you’re thinking about them—even when you’re apart.

Cozy gifts for staying at home

Bearaby, Cotton Napper — $199.00

Weighted blankets are famous for their ability to quell bedtime anxiety, but they’re also just great for when you need a “hug” but aren’t totally keen on having human company. So if they don’t already have one, the introverts in your life could definitely benefit from this gift. Of all the weighted blankets in the world, Bearaby’s thick, oversized knit versions are the cutest and coziest IMO, making them well worth the investment.

Lunya, Lofty Wool Cardigan — $398.00

Available sizes: XS/S-L/XL

It’s nice to occasionally upgrade your indoor outfits, if for no other reason than the sake of your sanity. And this chic wool cardigan is many levels up from old sweats or a ratty, too-loved sweatshirt. It’s made from an itch-free, air-spun yarn that feels like a dream, and has a relaxed fit that’s ideal for layering over other comfy layers.

Sunday Citizen, Cascais Bath Robe — $145.00

Available sizes: S/M-L/XL

If your introvert is in need of a post-bathing upgrade, this plush robe is a top-tier choice. It’s made from the same cozy material as the company’s blankets, for which I also die. And the colors—*insert drooly face here.* There’s classic white and linen for those who prefer a timeless look, but also a cool, sea-inspired teal and moody gray that are gorgeous, too.

Mou, Creston Slippers — $140.00

Available sizes: Women’s 6-10

Careful with these slippers—you’ll want to keep them for yourself. Mou’s cozy slips are pretty much like little sheeps for your feet, nestling your tootsies in the warmest, cushiest wool you’ll ever step in. The chunky embroidery and hygge look don’t hurt either.

Parachute, Cozy Bootie — $59.00

Available sizes: XS-XL

You probably couldn’t go wrong gifting these to absolutely anybody, but the introverts in your life will be particularly thankful for these wearable little ankle hugs, which they can shuffle around/curl up in all season long.

Alo Foxy Sherpa Jacket — $198.00

Available sizes: XS-L

This super-soft teddy bear jacket falls under the cozy-but-not-schlubby category, so your introvert can feel put together by pulling it on to answer the door for their delivery food.

Buttery soft. Swoon-worthy waffle texture. A little bit oversized. What’s not to love?

Available sizes: XS-XL

Slip, Pillowcase & Scrunchie Set — $95.00

When the introvert in your life is resting and recharging, they could benefit from a silk pillowcase upon which to lay their head. These also help prevent bedhead and keep hair hydrated, and are better for your skin than cotton, too. Plus, they feel fancy. This set also comes with three silk scrunchies, to elevate their messy bun.

WSLY, Eco Terry Classic Pocket Jogger — $64.00

Available sizes: XXS-XXL

I’m constantly looking for the perfect sweatpants and sweatshirt, because honestly I can no longer live without spending 90 percent of life in soft clothes. If the introvert on your list is similar, this super soft, terry option definitely fits the bill and will make them feel more put together than less.

The Sill, Snake Plant Laurentii — $68.00

Since introverts tend to like more time at home than extroverts, decorative plants are always a win. This snake plant cuts a striking figure and will brighten up any room in which your gift recipient wants to curl up to recharge. It’s low maintenance, too, making it a great housemate.

Forvr Mood, Burr Candle — $38.00

For the introvert who likes candles more than people, Forvr Mood’s new Après Ski collection will bring them comfort and joy. Choose from seasonal scents inspired by the slopes, like “Burr”, a warm blend of clove, orange blossom, and patchouli, or “Mallow Dramatic”, which is as sweet as it sounds.

Self-care gifts

Dr. Jart+, 10 Mask Must-Haves — $68.00

There are millions of sheet masks to choose from for at-home facials, but Dr. Jart+’s are some of the best in the biz, and this assortment pack will give your fave introvert 10, or one for each time they choose to leave the house (j/k, but as an introvert myself, only kinda!).

For a truly relaxing bath, pour this coconut milk bath soak (we recommend you pour right before you hop in) into hot water and feel it soften and hydrate skin. Made of vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, this formula actually contains coconut pulp and smells incredible.

The Handmade Soap Co., Bath Salts — $27.00

As an introvert myself, almost nothing sounds more heavenly than that.

Philips Sonicare, Prestige 9900 Electric Toothbrush — $300.00

Is an electric toothbrush the most glamorous gift? It is if it’s the Philips Sonicare Prestige, which is like the Birkin bag of toothbrushes. The aesthetics alone look like something you’d find in Bergdorf’s or Saks, complete with a sleek, design, frosted color palette, and trendy leather carrying case.

Dame, Pom Flexible Vibrator — $95.00

Even introverts with otherwise full sex lives enjoy a little sexual self-care from time to time.

WTHN, Body Cupping Kit — $68.00

Cupping feels effing great, and sometimes that’s all anyone cares about when it comes to self care. Still, it offers legit benefits, too.
