4 Unique Gifts for Healthcare Workers

Many of us know someone that works at a hospital, nursing home, pharmacy, or somewhere else in the healthcare industry. These people work hard to keep you healthy and safe. Since May celebrates healthcare workers, we want to help you say thanks to these heroes. Show them your appreciation with some of our top unique gifts for healthcare workers. 

 

Snack basket

Who doesn’t love snacks? A gift basket filled with tasty food is a creative way to show someone that you are thinking of them. You can choose a theme and add in their favorite items to eat. 

First, choose a basket that can be repurposed in their home or workplace. Second, fill the bottom with tissue paper so the snacks can be seen. Third, place and organize the snacks in the basket to make it look presentable.

You can include items like: 

• Chocolate
• Chips 
• Cookies
• Drinks

Cover the basket in a clear wrap with a bow to ensure that nothing falls out of it during transport. 

Lunch bag

Staying energized through long shifts is sometimes difficult. A healthy lunch brings the right nutrients to keep healthcare workers going throughout the day. A lunch bag is a unique gift that a healthcare worker can use on a day-to-day basis.

You can even take the gift of a lunch bag to the next level. Pack food into the bag and bring it to them during their lunch break. Add in a homemade dessert they can enjoy after their meal. This unexpected present could turn their exhausting day into a positive one.

Slip-resistant shoes

Standing all day can take a toll on healthcare workers. If you are looking to spend a little extra money for someone you care about, consider purchasing them a new pair of slip-resistant shoes. You can find these shoes from Crocs, Nike, or Sketchers.

Most workers wear their “outside” shoes into work then put on their comfortable, slip-resistant shoes once they are in the building. You can place the gift in a drawstring bag so they can carry their new shoes in and out of work. 

Coffee tumbler

Many people agree that coffee fuels their day. A thoughtful idea is to gift them with a personalized tumbler to keep their coffee hot throughout their busy day. You can add their name or a saying like “not all superheroes wear capes.”

If this person stops to get coffee every morning, add a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. If they use a Kuerig or a coffee machine, add a complimentary gift of ground coffee or K-cups.
