The Type 2 is called “The Helper.” People who identify as a Type 2 are ready to lend a listening ear, bring a meal, offer to help, and are great at knowing just what you need. You can count on them when you are in a bind. They find great satisfaction and purpose in helping others. Often, they give so much of themselves the they wear out without even knowing it. My Type 2 friends are the best gift givers and are so thoughtful.
Gift Idea #1: New Serveware for Entertaining
Williams-Sonoma has gorgeous serveware sets ranging in price. An Enneagram Type 2 would love to own a fresh set of bowls, platters, salad tongs, or even a charcuterie board. The sky is the limit with this gift idea.
Gift Idea #2: An Armless Dining Room End Chair
I have memories of my Type 2 friends getting up quickly from the dining table to help serve the desserts or make coffee. Help out your 2’s by gifting them an armless end chair so that getting up is easy – no fumbling with arms that get in the way. Sliding back into their seat will be just a quick with this chair. The Glendale Upholstered Dining Chair from Birch Lane is sure to be a winner. $236
Gift Idea #3: A Bath Caddy
Relaxation, rejuvenation and retreat are very important for these extraordinary people who serve others so effortlessly. Reward them with a bath caddy and bubble bath. They will be sure to thank you. A great option is the Gardner Bamboo Bath Caddy from Wayfair. $69.99
A Type 2’s Room Remodel Project would be the Dining Room. Not only would they enjoy new furnishings and seating, but they would love newly designed place settings.
The Enneagram Type 2’s Christmas decor will be warm, inviting, and the perfect place to cozy up with a cup of cocoa and appetizers.
When I look at this room by Maggie Griffin Design, I imagine long conversations over cocoa and snacks.
What a stunning Dining Room! Clean and Scentsible posted this room and it captures a Type 2 to a T. If you are a 2, what do you think?
I hope you have enjoyed exploring another Enneagram Type through gift giving. Be sure to watch for the Type 3 next!
