2. I’d Rather Be Reading unisex hoodie
“This hoodie is incredibly soft and comfortable! It arrived on time and I love the message.” -Deb

4. Nope Cat unisex sweatshirt
“Bought as a Christmas gift for my fiancé. He loves it — soft, warm, and perfect for either cozying up at home or to stick on after a chilly hike/trail run. And it’s definitely pulled in a few ‘this is way too perfect for you’ comments from our friends.” -Leah
5. Introverts Unite Separately in Your Own Homes unisex fleece hoodie

11. Noise-cancelling headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones are expensive, and of course, the more you spend, the more features you get. Although there’s no microphone or volume control on the headset itself, reviewers say these Sony headphones have good noise-cancellation for the price, and gave them an average of 4.2 stars out of 5. They’ll help reduce ambient noise, which can be a sanity-saver for introverts and highly sensitive people, who can get really stressed by it.

“Good quality mug. I’m pleased with it and it makes my family laugh because the slogan is so true.” -Ms. N
14. Text, Don’t Call book
Introversion is “in.” But there are still many misconceptions about introverts. They’re shy. Anti-social. They don’t like big parties (okay, that last one might be true). INFJoe is here to set the record straight. Filled with charming comic book style illustrations, Text, Don’t Call provides invaluable insights into the introverted life with plenty of humor. This book makes the perfect gift for your quiet friends — or the extroverts who could use some help to understand them.
15. Quiet Girl in a Noisy World book
Sweet, funny, and quietly poignant, Debbie Tung’s comics reveal the ups and downs of coming of age as an introvert. Ultimately, Quiet Girl in a Noisy World sends a positive, pro-introvert message: Our heroine learns to embrace her introversion and finds ways to thrive in the world while fulfilling her need for quiet. It’s a beautiful book full of gorgeous and funny illustrations that will make introverts say, “That’s me!”

Dedicated to anyone who’s ever felt the need for quiet, Introvert Dreams follows a girl and her cat as they slip into the pages of a magic book. Lost in a beautiful dream world, they seek a legendary star with the power to grant wishes. Along the way they will visit forgotten places, stunning landscapes, and more than a few odd creatures.
