20+ ideas of what to give a doctor as a thank you

During an illness, we turn to a clinic, a medical center or go to a hospital. Good doctors do not just prescribe medicines and procedures, but also become those people who return our precious health and self-confidence. We decided to collect gift ideas for healthcare workers. Here are some options for what you can give the doctor in gratitude for his help.

Top 20 Gift Ideas for a Doctor as a Thank You

1. Name pen

Every day, doctors have to fill out case histories, prescriptions, patient cards, and other paperwork. It’s good to have a handy ballpoint pen handy. It’s even nicer to write with an instrument that has your name emblazoned on it. A high-quality pen is unlikely to correct the intricate medical handwriting, but it will definitely add a good mood to the owner.

2. Coffee maker

At the doctor’s workplace, this device will be truly indispensable. Coffee will invigorate both early in the morning at the beginning of the work shift, and late at night during shifts and rounds. You can complement the present with a package of coffee beans. And, of course, warm words of gratitude.

3. Power bank

In the daily carousel of cases and worries, many doctors find themselves in a situation where the phone is discharged at the most inopportune time for this. To help the doctor avoid such troubles, give him a power bank – an external battery that can help out and power your smartphone at any time.

4. A set of nuts and dried fruits

Often doctors are big fans of healthy eating, so they understand a lot about natural food. A useful and tasty gift will allow the doctor to relax over a cup of tea or have a quick snack before visiting patients. Sets in beautiful wooden boxes look especially impressive. 

5. A set of different types of tea or coffee

Such a gift can be collected by yourself. Put a couple of cans of instant coffee, a coffee cup and a saucer in the bag. An excellent coffee substitute is a set of several types of green, black and herbal teas. Look into the tea shop – there you will certainly find a good collection of teas for your doctor. 

6. Organizer for notes and trivia

There are many papers in the medical profession. To make the doctor’s life easier, give him an organizer stand. In small compartments, it is convenient to store leaflets with notes, pens, paper clips, erasers and other necessary little things. A little time for sorting – and the table is free. 

7. Leather notebook

The most beautiful and practical notebooks have durable leather covers. Such things are pleasant to hold in hands, and they serve for a long time. What will be inside is a matter of taste. Perhaps blank sheets of paper, checkered pages, lined pages, and an organizer. The main thing is that the doctor will receive as a gift a real assistant for his daily affairs. 

8. Personalized mug or cup

A wonderful present is especially relevant during daily and night shifts. Order an individual engraving and write good wishes for the doctor. A saucer and spoon can be a great addition to a cup. 

9. Medal “Best Doctor”

Unfortunately, the work of doctors often goes unnoticed and underestimated. To correct this injustice, give the doctor the medal “Best Doctor” or even the Order “For Diligence and Talent”. A gift from the heart! 

10 Doctor Doll

A funny figure in a medical gown, cap and with a suitcase in his hands will certainly make the doctor smile. The souvenir doctor will take its rightful place on a table or a shelf and every time it will remind its owner of grateful patients. 

11. Gift set with a miniature book Hippocrates

A spectacular souvenir will decorate any interior and will look good at work and at home. Under Hippocrates, medicine moved from dark witchcraft to scientific tracks, so the name of the great doctor is appreciated by everyone who connected their lives with healing. 

12. Aphorisms of great doctors

A wonderful gift is the sayings of Hippocrates, Avicenna, Paracelsus and Galen. A collection of conclusions not only on medical, but also on philosophical topics that affect global things in the life of every person. The book of aphorisms will always be opened and re-read. 

13. Thermal mug

Double-walled steel mug works like a thermos and retains heat perfectly. You can pour hot tea, coffee or fruit drink into it and drink it when you have the opportunity. A thermal mug is useful not only at work, but also during a hiking trip and on excursions. 

14. Perpetual calendar

Despite the fact that people are used to using smartphones, they continue to love the good old calendars. For a gift to a doctor, a flip calendar in a metal case with signs inside and a calendar in the form of a flat house with holes are suitable. Stylish things that attract the eye. 

15. Chess

The best workout for the mind in your spare time. Choose a beautiful gift set with carvings. It does not have to be large and massive – the “road” option is also quite suitable. Compact chess will be convenient to carry from office to office or take a trip with you. 

16. Fragrant hand soap

Doctors prefer liquid soap in a dispenser to ordinary soap. Pressed, squeezed out a portion and washed his hands in warm water. So that soap does not seem like a too everyday gift, find a large, beautifully designed dispenser, and your present will turn out not only unusual, but also luxurious. 

17. Certificate for attending a massage

A great solution is to give your favorite doctor some health. Even one massage session will help strengthen the body, relax the muscles and energize the doctor for a long time. An alternative could be an electric massager for the face, legs or lower back. 

18. Theater or concert ticket

Routine work is addictive, so it is very important for a doctor to get new impressions. Pleasant entertainment on a day off is necessary to unwind and look at life with different eyes. 

19. Set of walking poles

Nordic walking poles are not only fashionable nowadays, but also a convenient thing. They are useful for independent walks in the park or forest, for trips to the mountains. The doctor will quickly appreciate trekking poles because they improve coordination and help preserve joints. 

20. A set of aromatic oils

Natural essential oils are a real storehouse of health. They are needed in the bath, sauna, to create home cosmetics and medicines. Let the doctor enjoy the delicate smells of lavender and thyme, the tart aroma of fir and bright shades of orange. 

How to choose a gift for a doctor

Do not put the doctor in an awkward position and give a too expensive present. Medical workers work in the public sector. According to Article 575 of the Civil Code of the Federation, they are prohibited from accepting gifts worth more than 3000 rubles. 

Doctors are well educated people. Intellectual gifts are appropriate for them – books, computer programs, smart gadgets, tickets to a museum or a lecture hall. 

Gifts of a personal nature are appropriate only when you are well acquainted and communicate with the doctor for a long time. 

A great way to thank the doctor is to give him something useful for the house. A handmade present is also suitable – a jar of sweet jam, homemade pickles, a knitted napkin or an embroidered towel.
