Our Best Thank You Gifts For Doctors


The Naked Bee Lavender & Beeswax Hand and Body Lotion

Doctors are forever cleaning their hands and wearing rubber gloves, often leaving their skin dry, chapped, and cracked. Help them to look after their skin by giving them a good quality hand cream, such as The Naked Bee’s Lavender & Beeswax Absolute Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion. This cream is made with organic aloe and sunflower oil, and uses no harmful ingredients like parabens or sulfates. Its natural and gentle scent of lavender also smells wonderful!


Potted Plant with Stone and Bee Planter

Working in a sterile environment like a hospital or doctor’s office can often leave a person feeling drained and tired. Houseplants provide many benefits such as reducing fatigue and stress, improving mood, minimizing headaches due to better air quality, and improving office performance and focus. So, why not spruce up their office by giving them a plant in a pretty planter like this blue one from Stone and Bee? They can either keep it in their office or workplace, or enjoy it in their own home to freshen the air and provide some calming decor.


Ninja CM401 Specialty 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Many health care professionals enjoy a good cup of coffee, especially during those long night shifts. It’s one thing to grab a quick coffee from the hospital cafeteria, but it’s a whole other ballgame when you get to enjoy a delicious specialty brew. Treat your doctor to a decadent coffee maker like the Ninja CM401 Specialty 10-Cup Coffee Maker. Use one of the four brewing settings for the perfect cup; choose from Classic, Rich, Over Ice, and Specialty. Add some froth from the built-in frother, and they’ll have a delicious specialty coffee to keep them going.


Personalized Embroidered Lab Coat

The stark white lab coat is a common staple in the medical field, so a personalized lab coat with their name embroidered on it is a lovely thank you gift to give your favorite doctor. Lab coats often get dirty quickly as well, so having an extra one on hand is very helpful. Or, perhaps you have a family member who is graduating from medical school; a personalized lab coat would be a wonderful gift to celebrate their accomplishment!


Hickory Farms Sausage & Cheese Gift Box

Doctors and medical staff are often busy and on the run, so they regularly miss meals and have to snack when they can. A great way to say thank you would be to give them a delicious Sausage & Cheese Gift Box from Hickory Farms. Filled with their signature summer sausage, smooth and sharp cheddar blend, sweet hot mustard, and strawberry candies, it is the perfect mix of sweet and savoury for one person or a team of people to enjoy!


Before/After Patients Coffee Mug & Wine Tumbler Set

Do you have a doctor with a funny sense of humor? Then, you might want to give them this hilarious Before Patient and After Patients Coffee Mug & Wine Tumbler Set. With a “Before Patients” coffee mug to start their day, and an “After Patients” stemless wine glass to end their day, this drink set is a thank you gift your doctor is sure to appreciate. If you want to add a little extra to the gift, pop in a bag of their favorite brand of coffee or a small bottle of wine for them to enjoy in their new drinkware.


Inspirational Gift Pen With Quote

A pen is something that doctors are always needing, so this inspirational gift pen from Inkstone is a touching gift to show your gratitude. It is multi-functional as well, operating as both a stylus pen and a lighted pen. It is engraved with a quote from Hippocrates and medical symbols such as the EKG heart, stethoscope, and Rod of Aclepius, and a first aid kit. The nice thing about this pen is that it is also refillable, using D1 size ink refills, allowing your doctor to use the pen for years to come.


Medical Cartoon-a-Day Calendar

A daily dose of laughter is often what the doctor prescribes, so why not give it right back to them in the form of a funny calendar? This medical calendar provides a different joke every day of the year, guaranteeing that they will get a chuckle each day. All of the cartoons are medical-themed and created by gag cartoonist Jonny Hawkins. The calendar also comes with an easel-backed display, so that it can be kept on their office desk for little doses of humor each day.


Gray’s Anatomy Leatherbound Book

This book is a treasure among medical professionals, and it has been for over 100 years. Dr. Gray uses beautiful illustrations and clear descriptions to explain the inner workings of the human body, without resorting to a dry list of definitions. Gray’s Anatomy helps even those without medical training to better understand the various physical parts and how they interact with each other within our body. This leatherbound edition of the book would be a very thoughtful thank you gift for that special doctor, and it would show that you put a lot of thought into finding that ‘perfect gift’ that they would appreciate.

Like many professionals, doctors and healthcare professionals are often carrying lots of stuff to and from their workplace. A personalized tote bag is a nice gift to give, as it is practical and will likely be appreciated by the recipient. This tote is made from heavy duty canvas, ensuring that it won’t rip or fall apart when carrying even the heaviest of medical textbooks. All seams are reinforced as well to ensure their durability. The tote also has a small pocket on the outside to carry little items such as cell phone or car keys.

With a beautiful blend of natural fragrances and essential oils, and no harmful ingredients, this pillow spray is the perfect way to guarantee a restful sleep.


Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket

Another way to encourage your favorite doctor to take a break and relax for a bit is to give them something they just can’t resist – a soft, cozy blanket to curl up in! Pair it with a favorite book or a pretty mug, and you have a lovely thank you gift that focuses on self care. This sherpa fleece throw blanket could be kept at the office for those long night shifts when they’re able to grab a few winks of sleep, or it could be something that they enjoy at their home during their off hours. Whatever they choose, they’re sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to relax and destress after a long day. Essential oils have been used for centuries to calm various ailments, and this pack of oils comes with a wide variety of scents for them to enjoy. They might use peppermint to alleviate a headache, lavender to help them relax and fall asleep, or eucalyptus if they feel congested or that they are battling a cold. Whatever fragrance they choose, they will enjoy the subtle scents as they are released through the beautiful, wooden diffuser with LED color-changing lights for a peaceful effect.


Personalized Desk Clock

Does your doctor run consistently late? Mine does, and I often thought about buying them a watch or a desk clock. This personalized desk clock would be a lovely gift for your doctor, regardless if they typically run late or not. Get their name and title inscribed on a plaque at the base of this beautiful mahogany clock, the laser engraving is included with your purchase.

Stethoscope Pendant Necklace

It is made from rhodium plated sterling silver, and there are a variety of gemstone colors to choose from, for that extra personalization. The pendant size is approximately 24mm by 24.9mm, making it not too large to wear at work, but not too tiny either.

Vintage Human Anatomy Canvas Wall Art

Sometimes we want to find that eclectic gift that is as unique as the individual we’re giving it to. This vintage human anatomy canvas wall art is just such a gift!

Half of the brain is visible, while the other half is decorated with gorgeous, colorful flowers. It is a very unique piece of art that would look lovely in an office or home.

Florensi Meditation Cushion

As mentioned previously, working in the medical field can often prove to be quite stressful and exhausting, so self-care is becoming increasingly important for medical professionals to embrace. Help them to channel their inner yoga master by giving them this stunning meditation cushion from Florensi. It has a lovely floral design on the top inspired by the mandala lotus flower, which represents connection, unity, compassion, and growth. The cushion is filled with top quality buckwheat hulls so it will not flatten or lose its shape over time.


Weighted Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders

Aches and pains are often inherent in any job, but stiff neck and shoulders are a common complaint among doctors, surgeons, and nurses who are often on their feet and bent over caring for their patients for long periods of time. Giving them a weighted heating pad as a thank you gift is a wonderfully thoughtful idea, and it is something that they can use both at home or at work during their breaks. The gentle 2.2 pound weight helps muscles to relax, and the heat relieves tension that has accumulated around their neck and shoulders.


Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug

We have discussed how medical professionals often rely on a nice cup of coffee to boost their energy, but we have not mentioned the fact that their coffee often gets cold before they have a chance to drink it! This Ember temperature control smart mug alleviates this problem by keeping their drink nice and hot for up to one hour if it is off its charging coaster, or indefinitely if it is kept on the coaster. You can even program the desired temperature through your smartphone! This is a truly indulgent gift that your favorite doctor will appreciate.

Whatever you choose to give as a thank you gift, your healthcare professional will appreciate the time and thought that you put into it. Just letting them know how grateful you are for them is a gift in itself. Which item do you think your doctor will love most? Be sure to come back and let us know which item you chose for your thank you gift.
