By Brenda Scott


There are people which love giving others gifts in order to show their appreciation for the help they got from them. They may be your colleagues, friends or relatives but could also be professionals that you want to acknowledge their great service. The gifts can be simple thank you notes, cards or letters or something you made or bought.

Some professionals are having doubts though if they will receive these gifts given by clients because they are afraid that doing so is not ethically appropriate. They want their professional boundaries maintained and would not like ideas of them requiring presents to perform their services well. This is true specially in medical field though various tips of gifts for healthcare professionals may help you.

These items must have modest values and appropriate for the certain medical field with consistency with your relationship. Giving one to your therapist helping you break the habit substance abuse would be inappropriate though presenting it for your cardiologist is better. Another sample is lingerie that is inappropriate always for not intimately close person.

Another example of possible gift is homemade item that you could personalize and customize which depends on preference. If your family more is more creatively and artistically talented than you then asking them to make it is possible. Homemade meals and baked goods are other similar examples and everyone appreciates good food always.

Treating them to a cup of coffee or tea at the nearest cafe is another way to show them how much you appreciate them. They usually work long hours and having a break while drinking a warm beverage is nice specially during cold days. You could also give them packets or instead a gift card at the nearest cafe or shop.

Putting a care package together is another option that can be somewhat ambitious though doable still. This may contain lip balms, gums, healthy treats, puzzle books and hand lotions or anything you can think about. Just fill them up with some useful small objects that could make them feel very appreciated even during their busy work day.

Handwritten notes in showing appreciation regarding everything they did is another way for you to say your thanks. Set aside some time for contacting their supervisor and manager and inform them o how good the professional is with their job. This is helpful in helping them get recognized by their company based on their great work performance.

Making charitable donations under their name is an option you could choose for showing appreciation so inquire if they support any. Some companies are also supporting foundations already so you can donate there instead then choose under whose name it would be from. The company would then recognize the employee and give them tokens or something else.

But some companies have policies against receiving gifts from clients so inquire regarding this rule. Certain items are allowed though so choosing becomes easier. Flowers, fruit and food is always the safest option for giving professionals in any field gifts as they can enjoy these with you as well.
