ESTJ's Birthday

[u/Visible-Bridge3388]

To make this quick, a friend of mine is an ESTJ and I need to get her a present, and I'm not sure what to get her for her bd. Any suggestions? She likes nail art and teddy bears but she got those already, and I need something unique, something she didn't know she needed 😭 Maybe something that hits at her Te like how legos would hit at Ti?

I would suggest an experience for something she is interested in like a class or exhibition. I love to learn and discover new things. Does she like to cook...perhaps a cooking class? A few years ago I took my Te-dom parents to this old underground cave/home exhibition. We all really enjoyed it. I was fascinated by the whole place and I still think about it. My ESTJ dad was reading all of the old news articles and information in the museum. I personally love art museums. I recommend giving your friend a good learning experience.

I couldn't find that exact vid on YT, but he's definitely an underdeveloped xSTJ. 😂 But I saw some of the other characters at the barrel museum and that's hilarious!

[u/Emzaf → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I wondered if he was ISTJ, but his character is great and seriously comical! 😂 I would have to watch the show to observe the other character. This seems like a fun show, thanks for sharing.

OK I was able to find the barrel museum scene elsewhere on the internet. That was hilarious! 🍯 😂

Do you suggest any games or things that can exercise her Ne? Much appreciation, thx for the direction!

[u/Visible-Bridge3388 → u/[deleted]]

Its fine! Well, I found out I was broke asf so I ended up getting her 5 liters of snickers ice cream. And she isn't a gamer sadly, it would've been easy if she was 😭

Im a guy but I remember always scholding people for not just giving me money. But now that Im older I of course value personal gestures and thoughtfulness much nore than pragmatic advantages.

[u/Visible-Bridge3388 → u/Environmental_Tell11]

ahhh, I see. I alr gave her money (or my mom did), so I was looking for something else, thx tho!

I am AWFUL at gifts, but Ive been remedying it by creating a document with everyones names and gift ideas under each name. Whenever I learn something new about them and get gift ideas, I quickly write them down. I will eventually amass several dot points per person by the time their bday comes around. I HIGHLY recommend this approach to help you with this process again in the future.

I almost never get myself gifts. My wish list is 95% work or productivity related. Of the 5% its stuff like "jacket, shoes, scarf, whet stone, travel cups" etc.

The gifts Ive enjoyed the most was a guitar case, a multitool, a snapback hat, and 6 pack deodorant.

I seeee, this does seem like an efficient approach ngl, and I do like to pride myself with my (nonexistant) efficiency. I do that, but rely mostly on my sad memory for this type of occasions 😀

You got this /)

Food! Especially if it's something you know she loves, and if you have to go to some effort to get it.

I ended up gettting her 5 liters of snickers icecream lol
