This holiday season, The Voice Bureau is offering up a list of our favorite gifts, organized by the Voice Values who will most appreciate them. Join us in a bit of festive cheer as we count down the 16 Days of Voice Values!
Even if they’ve never taken the Voice Values assessment, you know who your high-Enthusiasm friends are. They’ve always just discovered the best new spot, they loved the movie last night, and they are up for an adventure at any moment. Their text messages are packed with emojis and exclamation points. They would have made an awesome cheerleader in high school — and they’re probably your biggest cheerleader in life.
When you’re ready to give back, treat your Enthusiastic friend to a taste of their own optimism. They want to carpe that diem, so why not try out an adventure? Check your local Groupon-type deals sites for tickets to nearby attractions — but ask first before you send them skydiving. “Enthusiastic” does not necessarily mean “daredevil.”
“Say Yes to New Adventures” Print
This print from Cuddle + Kind may technically be intended for a child’s room, but we love the sentiment for high-Enthusiasm adventurers of all ages. What we love even more is the company’s philanthropic goals — each print purchased provides five meals to children in need. And the hand-knit dolls that match their prints are beyond adorable (and worth 10 meals each).
Where’s the Electricity? workbook and audio program
From novelist and essayist Esmé Wang comes this amazing, self-paced program to help you discern and discover your creative obsessions and themes, all so you can pour them into your next project. Although you don’t need a high Enthusiasm value to enjoy figuring out what lights you up, a high Enthusiasm value is baked right in, so your high-Enthusiasm friend will delight in this passion-fueled pursuit even more than most.
Full disclosure: We know and love Esmé, but we’d recommend this gift either way. We’re not receiving any sort of compensation for including it in our list.
Stance Socks
Socks? Yep, socks. But not just any socks. Stance redefines sock style with its focus on individuality and personal expression through spirited prints with a point of view. It’s like a party in your shoes! Your high-Enthusiasm friend will instantly get how awesome these are, right down to her soles.
Sweet Sentiments Pencil Set
For an everyday pick-me-up, we love the little bon mots on these colorful pencils. A touch of sparkle, a pop of color, and a reminder to “Inspire yourself” or “Be bright” — exactly what your high-Enthusiasm recipient needs to hear.

This
While almost everybody loves to learn more about themselves, no one relishes it quite like someone with a high Depth value. This book combines astrology, numerology, and the metaphysical power of color to paint a portrait of your friend’s inner landscape, as well as how they bring that unique composition of traits out into the world. If you give your high Depth-value friend this book as a gift, it might be a minute before you hear from her again, as she’s likely to lose herself not only in her own description, but in those for her friends, family, acquaintances, and co-workers, as well.
Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, but this gorgeous book is a reminder that you aren’t alone, with inspiration and advice from over 100 women makers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Women can do amazing things in the business world. This is a community we’re proud to be part of!
Hello, you.
