What type of gifts are not good choices for empaths and highly sensitive people?

Empaths and highly sensitive people often have sensitivities that set them apart from others. They may be sensitive to certain types of food, like spicy food, or overly sweet foods. They may have a sensitivity to gluten, nuts, dairy or soy, so food is often not a great gift, unless you know they love something in particular.

Anything that is loud, has a strong scent, like perfumes and room scents are not ideal. Clothing options can be tricky too, because if they have itchy fabric, a poorly placed zipper, or a scratchy tag, the clothing wonโ€™t be worn.

Some highly sensitive people donโ€™t like clutter either, which makes home decor not a great choice either.

What type of gifts would an empath or highly sensitive person love?

Empaths and highly sensitive people love gifts that help them feel cozy, comfortable, inspired, and stress-free. They love things that are nostalgic, reminding them of wonderful memories from the past, or sentimental things.

If you feel stuck, ask the empath for a list of ideas, (depending on your relationship with them).
