Every introvert knows that this is the time of year to celebrate with loved ones, but most of us would still rather stay home.

All any introvert really wants for the holidays is some alone time. And as an introverted parent, those moments are few and far between. So in addition to some much-needed personal space to recharge, here’s a list of 18 things that every introvert needs in their life:

Introvert Wine Glass

This Introvert Wine Glass is perfect for any introvert whose favorite thing is to curl up with some wine and their book (or phone), away from everyone else. (This is the 10 oz. size, but it also comes in a 20 oz. “jumbo” or 17 oz. stemless version.)
