It’s the most wonderful time of the year! While we get ready to indulge in all of the holiday food, wine and delightful moments, we also may get a little stressed trying to figure out what to purchase for all of the special people in our lives. When it comes to considering gifts for doctors, it can be a little daunting to find something they would love, need or cherish. To assist you with this conundrum, here at TheraEx Locum Tenens, we have come up with the top 10 easy gifts for doctors that are sure to bring a smile to their face.
Gifts For Doctors That They’ll Be Sure To Love
Smartwatch
When you’re constantly on the go, pulling out your cell phone can be a burden. Especially when the doctors in your life need to have clean hands for working with patients or are just too busy to check. The smartwatch is, ironically, an extremely smart purchase to make. It can help them with notifications, emergencies, reminders, alarms and even collect their health routine data. An efficient gift that becomes even better if you go for waterproof *wink wink*.
Phone Sanitizer
Speaking of phones, the amount of bacteria and germs that sit on our phones is quite disgusting. Especially when research shows it’s 10 times worse than your toilet seat. For doctors, that bacteria is much more common in a healthcare facility and makes it much more important to do daily. Instead of manually using a sanitizer wipe to clean their phones every day, why not purchase a portable phone sanitizer? The UV light can kill 99.9% of germs in just 6 minutes!
House Hold Appliances
Heading into a big day of work or coming home from one can make normal household chores a little exhausting. For the most part, this has a lot to do with food. Appliances can be a great way to introduce some ease into their life, especially appliances like rice cookers, slow cookers, air fryers, toaster ovens or steamers. On that same note, first, check to see if they have a good coffee maker, and then you can work your way down the extensive list of appliances they could probably use!
Compression Socks and Shoes
If you’re wanting something a little more practical, opting for compression socks or good-quality shoes can be a great option. Doctors can spend a lot of time on their feet and moving around, making the type of sock and shoe they wear incredibly important. Compression socks are able to help maintain blood flow and a quality shoe will provide extensive support for the whole body. While there is plenty of great information online about good quality shoes for doctors, don’t be afraid to go a little crazy on compression socks. There’s nothing better than a doctor sitting down to reveal a pair of funky socks.
Custom Bobble Head
While practical and efficient are great presents to get for the *seriously* professional doctor in your life, there is also something satisfying about purchasing a hilarious gift for them. On this year’s top humorous gift, we have custom bobbleheads which can be made to look exactly like the doctor you want to replicate. It’s fun, and entertaining and will definitely get you the laugh you’re looking for.
Mini Massage Gun
You’ve likely seen the professional massage gun that many athletes utilize, but did you know you can purchase a miniature version of this? The portable percussion massage gun can encourage doctors to quickly relieve any tension that they may be feeling between patients or while finishing off paperwork. While a little pricier, it’s a long-term gift for doctors to support them with their daily stresses.
The Document Bag
When it comes to a good quality bag, anything that can hold documents well and has lots of pockets will be very efficient for a doctor on the move. They will be able to keep everything organized and precise while looking stylish. If you have Locum Tenens in your life, this will be an essential purchase for them.
Personalized Sweatshirt
If you want to venture into a somewhat DIY item, a personalized sweatshirt is always a good way to go. Forever convenient and helpful, your doctor friend or family member will always be able to utilize this piece of important clothing. You can head over to Etsy to create your own perfect version or do the same on an online photo store. Look online for creative ideas or come up with something spunky yourself!
Stethoscope
The one essential item (other than a pen) that doctors carry with them is a stethoscope. You essentially have two options. You can go for the top-of-the-line type of stethoscopes that are known for their quality rather than their beauty or opt for a more creative approach. There are even stethoscopes that come in travel cases. Another great option for Locum Tenens!
2023 Planner
A busy schedule can become more tangible with a good planner. There are an insane number of options for you to choose from. We would suggest providing a mix of a weekly planner with a monthly planner as their daily schedule will most likely be online. However, you could double up on this and provide them with both a 2023 planner as well as a journal. Allowing them to help their mental health at the same time by insisting they start daily journal entries. Whatever you end up deciding, there are some very slick and professional options out there, so get searching!
Honorable Mentions:
- Fancy Hand or Face Cream
- Temperature Control Mug
- Ball Point Pen
- Portable Charger
- Wireless Earbuds
Gifts for doctors can be difficult. With their demanding schedules, the influx of patients and constant selflessness, it can be tough to comprehend what exactly can aid them with their daily lives. The guide above provides you with a pretty good outline of what type of gifts the doctor in your life will appreciate. In return, let them know there is an opportunity for them to enter into the Locum Tenens lifestyle. Where they can travel around the country, make a great income, and expand their skills and experience while helping those in need. This is an excellent opportunity for the new year and a great place to use all of those extraordinary gifts you purchased them! Happy Shopping!
