These gifts are perfect for the person in your life who’s always asking, perhaps too excitedly, “What’s your Myers-Briggs?!” The center of attention, or at least the one who’s always bringing people together, this party person doesn’t have a fear of missing out because they wouldn’t miss it in the first place.

3. Large Bronze Ashtray
This art piece by Los Angeles–based artist Nancy Pearce is made in the form of an ashtray as an homage to the iconic shape of Edith Heath’s 1940s ashtray design. This weighted objet d’art bronze piece—weighing in at more than 5 pounds—makes a great statement piece for the home or a perfect spot for some mints, but we’d rather you didn’t use it as an actual ashtray.
