Looking for a memorable present for a boss, colleague, or friend? Here are some ideas for thoughtful, practical, and unusual gifts for the healthcare professionals in your life. • The holidays are a time
for generosity, so consider donating to your recipient's
favorite healthcare-related charity.
• Café
Press has 4,260 healthcare-related
designs emblazoned on shirts, mugs, notepads,
and other products. So now you can let the world
know that "Nurses rock!" and that "Behind every physician
is a substantial amount of coffee."
• We've all heard of nursing
a cold, but have you ever thought of cuddling one?
For your healthcare professional with a wacky sense
of humor, GIANTmicrobes
is a line of stuffed toys modeled after the common
cold and other disease-causing agents. The catalog
features mild maladies like the flu (orthomyxovirus)
and acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium
acnes), along with deadly microbes like the
Black Death (Yersinia pestis) and flesh-eating
bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes) with arms
shaped like a knife and fork.
• Gifts
for Medical Professionals, Prestige
Medical, and many other sites have presents
designed especially for healthcare workers. You can
choose from elegant gifts like a caduceus paperweight,
or quirky items like a syringe
pen/highlighter and serotonin-shaped
earrings.
• Help a friend catch up
on his or her reading this holiday season. Amazon.com
has 41,475 books on healthcare,
including Medicine
is the Best Laughter, Chicken
Soup for the Nurse's Soul, and Opportunities
in Allied Health Careers. A subscription
to a professional journal is also a great idea.
• Whether it's an old-fashioned
doctor's bag or a Cherry
Ames novel, a piece of medical history
makes a unique and memorable gift. Read our Nursing
Collectibles article for inspiration, then
scour your local antique stores, online retailers,
or the eBay
listings for the perfect find.
• For the recipient who
prefers the latest technology to historic memorabilia,
consider a new PDA or cell phone.
• There really is a gift
card for everything! The Healthcare
VISA© Gift Card lets you pay for an American
recipient's health-related expenses, in amounts that
range from $25 to $5,000 USD.
• Medical dramas have ruled
the airwaves in recent years, so consider putting
the latest season of ER,
Grey's
Anatomy, House
MD, Nip/Tuck,
or Scrubs
under someone's Christmas tree.
• Know someone who deserves
a little pampering? Then a gift certificate for a
therapeutic massage or spa treatment may be just
what the doctor ordered!
