The Ultimate Gift Guide for Sonographers
It’s the holiday season, and there’s no better time of year to say “thank you” to the special people in our lives. And if some of your special people are sonographers, we’ve got you covered with the ultimate gift list! Here are a few ideas from stocking stuffers to the perfect presents for any holiday occasion.
$30 and Under
Coffee – Long hours, late nights, and early mornings are commonplace in the medical field. Sonographers need to always be alert, so what better gift than the gift of coffee? Whether it’s a nice bag of roasted coffee beans or a gift card to a local coffee shop, this will bring a jolt of holiday cheer!
Lip Balm – Why do medical buildings seem to be some of the driest places on earth? Ensure they keep their lips moisturized throughout the day with an all-natural lip balm. Whether you choose to go with a fancy balm or a classic brand, there is an option for everyone.
Hydrating Hand Cream – There is nothing worse than the feeling of dry, cracked hands. Sonographers are constantly washing their hands, which wreaks havoc on their two most important tools. A hydrating hand cream will ensure their hands stay moisturized, wash after wash.
Sonography Charm Necklace – Sonographers can’t wear bracelets, so opt for a cute necklace instead. A charm necklace is a fun way to show off the important field they work in, and personalization adds an extra-special touch. This one also comes in gold and rose gold.
Custom Badge Reel – Sonographers must have their ID badge on them at all times, but that doesn’t mean it has to be on a boring badge reel or lanyard. Customize a reel just for them, and they’ll smile every time they see it.
Transducer Cable Brace – Constantly moving or adjusting the transducer cable can increase the risk of injury to the elbow, hand, and wrist. A cable brace helps hold and support the transducer cable and alleviates some of that tension.
Compression Socks – Compression improves your blood flow and can relieve or prevent the ache that comes from being on your feet all day. Grab a pair or two in your favorite sonographer’s favorite colors.
Over $30
Water Bottle – Staying hydrated throughout a busy day can be a challenge, especially if you don’t keep a water bottle close. Solve this problem for your favorite sonographer by personalizing a water bottle just for them. It’ll be a great reminder to drink water throughout the day and avoid afternoon fatigue.
Scrub Jackets – Regardless of the weather, it can get pretty chilly in a medical office. Sonographers will appreciate a slim-fit jacket they can throw on over their scrubs.
Comfortable Shoes – Being on your feet all day is tough on your whole body. Make their job a little easier with the gift of great shoes. These were made specifically for healthcare workers and feature liquid and stain-resistant fabric and odor-fighting insoles.
Backpack – Designed by healthcare workers, for healthcare workers! This backpack has top-of-the-line organization features, all enclosed in an antimicrobial exterior.
Gift Cards (Choose Your Amount!)
Audible – Many sonographers spend a lot of time on the road, and a gift from Audible means they can fill that time with whatever they’re in the mood for—from lighthearted comedy to a master class on personal finance.
Spotify – If they’re not into podcasts, go for music instead! If they already have a streaming service, you can help cover the bill or introduce them to something new.
Massage – Sonography is physically demanding, especially on the upper body. Treat the sonographers on your list to some rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation with a massage gift card. Try chains like Elements or Massage Envy or search for a local salon.
Scrubs & Beyond – Sometimes the last thing a sonographer will purchase for themselves is a new set of scrubs. Why not pick up a gift card so they can treat themselves?
