What to give as a gift to type A and type B

You can recognize them by their desks. Type A has a tidy desk, a checked-off to-do list, and a calendar planned down to the minute. Type B has a creative chaos, three half-read books, and a cup of tea that has gone cold because they came across something more interesting.

Both types are valuable. And both types deserve a gift that suits who they are. Here are our tips for these different personalities - and the best part is that with Cadeo you simply let them choose for themselves. Type A especially will appreciate that control.

Type A: structure, quality, function

Type A people appreciate products that are well thought out. Functional, high quality, and preferably with a clear purpose. They don't want clutter and they don't want gimmicks. They want something that works.

The products from MADE out of scream 'type A': every product contributes to a structured life. How about the key set: a trio with a key chain, glasses case, and a pouch for small items like loose change. And also great for an organized desk: the desk set. With a desk pad, a refillable notebook, and a beautiful pencil case.

You can also bring structure into the kitchen in a beautiful way, for example with the refillable olive oil bottles from Spic'd. They come with delicious olive oil, one for warm and one for cold use. Thanks to the handy refill check, you can see exactly when it's time to refill your bottles. You buy these bottles once, and refill them forever! Well thought out and looks beautiful on any kitchen counter.

The products from First Amsterdam offer excellent shoe care. Take the complete sneaker care set with six components: brushes, shampoo, microfiber cloth, suede eraser, and protective spray. For the Type A who not only buys the right things, but also takes good care of them.

Type B: atmosphere, relaxation, experience

Type B people appreciate products that evoke a feeling. They don't necessarily have to be functional - they have to feel good. Atmosphere, scent, texture, warmth.

Texture and scent are covered with this ice cream maker from Fritel. Fun for a type B person, because they generally like trying new things and often have a new hobby every week. They can experiment to their heart's content with this device.

Even more scent: a Type B's house might not always be tidy, but it will smell wonderful with the fragrance sticks from Marie-Stella-Maris. Place the beautiful refillable glass bottle somewhere in the living room and suddenly that creative chaos feels like a conscious choice. Type B doesn't have to do anything - the sticks work on their own.

They are often adventurous types. A great gift for them: Toudou matches you with a surprise outing hosted by a local. City games, creative challenges, VR experiences - you don't know beforehand what you are going to do, and that is exactly the point. Type B doesn't need a plan. Type B wants to be surprised. Available in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.

And if you don't know?

Most people, of course, are not purely type A or type B. They are a mix. And frankly, you don't always know the preferences of your colleagues, clients, or team members well enough to make that choice for them.

That is exactly why freedom of choice works. Instead of choosing one gift and hoping it lands well, you give access to an assortment where there is something for every type. Type A chooses that reusable notebook or the sneaker care set. Type B goes for the scented candle or the surprise outing. And the one who is a bit of both picks exactly the product that suits them - without you having to guess.

The beauty of it is: how someone chooses says everything about who they are. And they get something they actually enjoy.
