What to give a doctor for the New Year?

New Year can be an excellent excuse for giving a gift, as it is a special holiday in which everyone is waiting for a miracle and the fulfillment of desires. However, the question always arises of what to give the doctor for the New Year, especially if you do not have enough information about the person and his preferences.

It is not an easy task to choose a gift that would be original, and not too expensive, and sincere, and liked.

Often times, people make the same mistakes or just follow the example of others. Therefore, often all as one give the same thing. Let's see what is better not to give to the doctor.

• Sweets and chocolates. For a whole year, patients give a lot of sweets to both doctors and nurses, and then, as a rule, they donate them to someone else. Therefore, it is already trite and uninteresting to the holes.
• Coffee and tea. The same can be said for tea or coffee. Patients often choose such a gift set. It's better not to repeat yourself. If nothing else comes to mind, you can look for something from the same category, but exclusive. For example, expensive coffee beans of the highest grades or exotic Chinese tea.

If you think a little, then you can choose something healthier and more original for a gift to the doctor. In addition, the gift should be modern and interesting so that the person really likes it and uses it with pleasure.

As the New Year begins, the doctor will need a calendar. Nowadays there is a wide variety of calendars, you can find very unusual calendars.Look for a calendar specifically with the Chinese symbol of the year, and you can also make it to order, insert pictures of the doctor there, highlight the date of his birthday, the Day of the doctor and the Day of the doctor of his specialization. An unusual and reusable gift will be in the form perennial or "perpetual" calendar. The calendar can be wall or desk.

In addition, the following items are suitable for a gift.

• Notepad, diary or organizer. The doctor always has to write down a lot: work details, patient data, conference dates, and so on. Therefore, a notebook or diary can be a good and useful gift for him. An organizer might be a better option, as it has more features than a day planner and allows you to adjust the sections of your notes to your liking. Such a gift can be in a leather cover or a cover made of high-quality leatherette.

• Document folder. Doctors always have a lot of documents, brochures, magazines, bulletins. Therefore, as a gift, you can buy a document folder made of genuine leather. These folders are very easy to use and durable. The doctor can put there not only documents, but also his diary or organizer, pens, glasses and phone. Quite a useful thing.

• A pen. This thing is always needed by the doctor. A quality pen, for example, from the famous Parker brand, can be a good gift. You can make an engraving of the doctor's initials (or some short wish) on the handle under the order - so it will become more unique.

• Book. Everyone knows the expression that a book is the best gift. You can give your doctor a book on a medical topic in his specialization (for example, a reference book), but there is a risk of donating what is already available. Better to try to look for a book that he may have mentioned and would like to buy, but there was no way to find it. Or choose a gift copy on another topic, which he will probably be interested in.

• Table set. For the same reason that a doctor has to write a lot and draw up medical documents, it will be very convenient for him to use a desktop writing set. You can buy a ready-made set made of natural wood or marble, or order from a master. A marble table set can be a solid New Year's gift for the head doctor, chief medical officer or other leading employee of a medical institution.

This section can include anything that has a medical symbolic meaning or is related to the topic of the year. As a rule (and this has already become a tradition), they choose gifts with the symbol of the Chinese New Year. Such gifts can be:

• money box;
• trinket;
• statuette;
• badge or brooch.

Dishes can be a good gift. It is appropriate not only for a woman, but also for a man.

• Mug. You might think that this is a banal gift, but if you order such a mug with a pattern that appears when hot water or drinks are poured, then this gift will be unusual. Moreover, to order, you can choose drawings, inscriptions or photographs for every taste. You can insert a photo of the doctor, his favorite phrase, or describe his merits.
• Kettle... If the doctor prefers to drink tea and loves to brew it in a ceramic teapot, then you can make a choice in favor of such a gift. It will not be difficult to find a quality teapot in the Russian traditional Gzhel style. If the doctor is not such an esthete, then you can donate a high-quality electric kettle to boil water.
• Set of dishes. More suitable for a female doctor.But if this set is made of black, gray, dark blue porcelain or glass, then you can give it to a man as well.

These gifts include:

• Watch. Can be hand-held, wall-mounted or bench-top. Now there is a very wide selection of various watches. You can pick up unusual and very original watches.
• Painting or portrait. A beautiful landscape painting as a gift can look very attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Or you can order a portrait of a doctor from a professional. Such portraits are now done from photographs and in different styles, for example, pop art.
• Frame. Can be a good gift for a doctor. You can buy it to order or decorate a simple frame yourself. There are frames of different sizes and shapes, for example, in the form of a herringbone. An electronic photo frame can be an interesting gift. Several digital photos are loaded into it at once. There is a large selection of these photo frames on sale.
• Souvenir thermometer. A souvenir thermometer is a good gift for a physician. They come in different sizes and variations, wall-mounted or tabletop. One of the most original souvenir thermometers is Galileo's thermometer. It looks very unusual and pleasing to the eye. Or you can donate a desktop weather station. Such a gift is suitable for an ENT, a gynecologist, and for any other physician.
• Lamp. It is original to buy a lamp to order. Now there are people who are engaged in the manufacture of lamps from polymer clay or plexiglass. These lighting devices look very creative and beautiful. There is a place for fantasy to roam. And you can buy such an unusual specimen as a lava lamp (they are also called "lava lamps").

We live in a world where people use electronic and digital technologies. Now almost all polyclinics and hospitals have switched to using computers. There are some attributes for a computer or mobile phone that are perfectly suitable as a gift for a doctor.

• Flash drive. Everyone needs such a gift. You can find a USB flash drive with a large amount of memory. You can also buy a classic style stick or a fancy figurine. For example, give a pediatrician a flash drive in the form of a cartoon character. There are very original copies, including New Year ones.
• PC mouse. There are designer mice made in various themes. There are also medical ones, for example, in the shape of a heart (a gift to a cardiologist or therapist). There are mice with prints, among which it is easy to find suitable images.
• Mousepad. You can find a large selection of computer mouse pads. There is even a print in the form of a real carpet. Original and humorous. You can order a rug with a picture on a medical theme, with a New Year's symbol or a comic inscription (just choose a joke carefully so as not to offend the person).
• Portable battery. A very good and necessary thing. If the doctor forgot the wired phone charger at home, a portable charger can save him. They can also look different: in the classic form or be in the form of a smiley or a skull with glasses, such as the Powerbank 8800mAH external battery.

• Food basket... Grocery bouquets are now considered a very fashionable and original gift. You can assemble such a bouquet yourself, or you can order it. They are suitable for both women and men (depending on what to fill). The composition of the bouquet uses fruits, vegetables, cheeses, sausages, dried fish, drinks. You can find different colors of packaging for a bouquet in a feminine or masculine style.This option of gratitude may please both the attending physician and the nurse who helped him.
• Gift basket. They can not only contain food, but also cosmetics. You can fill them with whatever you want. It is better not just to give such gift sets in a basket, as it is, but to decorate them in New Year's style: decorate with tinsel, attach a toy in the form of a symbol of the year to the side handle, and put fir branches decorated with Christmas balls inside.

Give gifts with pleasure and soul. May it be pleasant for both the doctors and you.
