<< Back to all Blogs

Are you looking for some great gift ideas for the young adult or millennial in your life? We’ve compiled some of our favorite selections for gifts that your quarterlifer will not only love, but that will support their mental health at the same time.

1. Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D. and Amelia Nagoski, DMA

If you have a daughter, sister, niece, or another 20-something woman in your life, then this is a great holiday gift. It’s a groundbreaking book that explains why women experience burnout differently than men. The Nagoski sisters address the cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion that stands between women and well-being.

2. “Creating Your Career Compass” Program

Starting January 2022, the Quarterlife Center is releasing the Creating Your Career Compass Program that’s perfect for all young adults that are starting their job search in 2022. We recommend this interactive online course for anyone who is seeking a jump start! Learn more about it here.

3. MoodMission

MoodMission is a research-backed app developed by mental health professionals that only costs $5 (a bargain!). It gives you “missions” to help you improve your mood and mental health skills. The in-app rewards are used to increase motivation, and there are mood-boosting activities that are intended to help you when you’re low or anxious.

4. Attached: The Science of Adult Attachment and How it Can Help You Find – and Keep – Love by Amir Levin, M.D., and Rachel S.F. Heller, M.A.

While Attached was written nearly a decade ago, it remains relevant to how we understand relationships today. According to attachment theory, there are three common ways people behave in a relationship depending on their attachment style: anxious, avoidant, or secure. With this information now widely circulating on social media apps like TikTok, gift your quarterlifer the book where it all started.

5. The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter — and How to Make the Most of Them Now by Meg Jay

The Defining Decade is the perfect book to gift on Christmas morning if you want the 20-something in your life to start the new year energized. It’s all about making the most of your 20s and taking charge of your life. It addresses those questions that everyone wants to know the answer to like, “How do you handle relationships and dating?” and “How do you make your career work?” and “How does your brain change during this time?”
