Updated on June 24, 2023

If you have a friend or co-worker who is an anesthesiologist, finding the perfect gift for them can be tricky. With their long hours and often intense work environment, finding something meaningful, they will appreciate can be difficult. Fortunately, there are plenty of unique gifts for anesthesiologists that are thoughtful and fun. In this blog post, we will explore five of the most popular and cute anesthesiology gifts that you can give to your favorite anesthesiologist. From funny coffee mugs to meaningful mementos, we’ve got something special for everyone.

An on-the-go thermos cup

As a busy anesthesiologist, your co-worker is always on the move and needs a reliable way to keep their coffee or tea warm throughout the day. That’s where an on-the-go thermos cup comes in handy! Choose a cute design or personalize it with your co-worker’s name or favorite quote to make it extra special. Not only will it keep their drink at the perfect temperature, but it’s also eco-friendly and saves them money on disposable cups. Your co-worker will appreciate this thoughtful gift that shows you understand their busy lifestyle.

Gift baskets

Who doesn’t love a gift basket? They’re a perfect present for any occasion, especially when showing appreciation for a colleague. And lucky for you, there are a plethora of options when it comes to creating an anesthesiology-themed basket. Start by picking a theme – relaxation, caffeine boost, or snacks for the break room. Fill the basket with aromatherapy candles, bath bombs, or a personalized mug. Add coffee pods, an insulated travel mug, and some chocolate-covered espresso beans for a caffeine-themed basket. And don’t forget about some healthy snacks like nuts, fruit, and granola bars. 

If you’re not creative, plenty of pre-made gift baskets are available online or at local gift shops. The options range from chocolate indulgences to spa experiences, all packaged and ready to go. Just include a personal touch, like a note or card expressing gratitude. Thank you gift baskets are a thoughtful way to show your co-worker that you appreciate their hard work and dedication to anesthesiology. Plus, it’s a great way to brighten their day and boost them during their busy workday.

Personalized stethoscope covers

A stethoscope is a must-have accessory for any medical professional, including anesthesiologists. It is a device that listens to a patient’s heartbeat, breathing, and other bodily sounds. However, stethoscopes can look identical, making mixing them up with your colleagues easy. You can gift your co-worker a personalized stethoscope cover to avoid confusion and add a personal touch.

Several companies make custom stethoscope covers that you can order online. You can choose the color, design, and font you like and add your co-worker’s name or initials. Not only will it make their stethoscope unique, but it will also help them keep track of their equipment. Moreover, personalized stethoscope covers are a great conversation starter and can be fun for your co-worker to showcase their personality and style.

Another option is to make a DIY stethoscope cover. It’s a simple project that requires basic sewing skills and a few materials like fabric, thread, and elastic. You can customize it according to your co-worker’s preferences and add embellishments like buttons, patches, or embroidery. It will be a thoughtful and practical gift that your co-worker will use daily.

A survival kit

Working in the anesthesiology department can be challenging, and sometimes your co-worker may need a little pick-me-up during a long shift. Creating a survival kit can be fun to show your support and appreciation. Here are some items to include:

  • Energy drinks or coffee: Sometimes, it takes some caffeine to power through a shift.
  • Protein bars: Healthy snacks are always appreciated, and protein bars are perfect for those busy moments when your co-worker can’t take a real lunch break.
  • Eye drops: Staring at screens or bright lights for long periods can cause dry, irritated eyes. Eye drops can help your co-worker feel refreshed and comfortable.
  • Lip balm: Hospital air can be dry and harsh on the skin, so a soothing lip balm is a must-have.
  • Pain relievers: Headaches or muscle pains can strike any time, so having some pain relievers on hand can make all the difference.


Pack these items in a cute pouch or tote bag to make the gift even more special. Your co-worker will appreciate your thoughtful gesture and be ready to tackle any shift with their new survival kit.

A pair of scrubs

While scrubs are a staple for healthcare workers, they don’t have to be boring! Give your anesthesiology co-worker a pair of fun and colorful scrubs to brighten up their day. So many designs are available, from cute cartoon characters to floral prints. Plus, new scrubs are always appreciated since they’re worn almost daily! Check with your co-worker about their size and preferences before making your purchase. Bonus points if you find scrubs with extra pockets for their necessary medical equipment!
