What to give as a gift to type A and type B
The Type A personality: driven, organized, efficient. Type B: relaxed, creative, go-with-the-flow. Two people with completely different outlooks on life - who appreciate completely different gifts.

You can recognize them by their desks. Type A has a tidy desk, a to-do list that is checked off, and a schedule 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 you can just let them choose for themselves at Cadeo. 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': each product contributes to a structured life. How about the key set: a trio with a keychain, glasses case, and a pouch for small items like coins. And also great for an organized desk: the desk set. Featuring 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 sneakercare set with six parts: 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 just have to be pleasant. Atmosphere, scent, texture, warmth.
Texture and scent come together perfectly with this ice cream maker from Fritel. Great for a type B person, as they generally love trying new things and often have a new hobby every week. They can experiment to their heart's content with this appliance.
Even more scent: a Type B's house might not always be tidy, but it certainly smells nice 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 deliberate choice. Type B doesn't have to do a thing - the sticks work on their own.
They are often adventurous types. A great gift for them: Toudou matches you with a surprise outing at a local host. City games, creative challenges, VR experiences - you don't know what you're going to do beforehand, and that's 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, but rather a mix of all kinds of personality traits. And then a choice gift is actually the safest option: let the recipient decide for themselves whether they choose that reusable notebook, the ice cream maker, or something else entirely. How they choose says everything about who they are, and that way you can be sure they are happy with their gift.
