These Gift Ideas For Pharmacists Are Just What The Doctor Called In

This Chill Pill Soap Set is cute, affordable, and super-useful. (It’s also the perfect gift for someone who needs to relax a little.) Each set includes four “pills” of a different scent. This specific set includes one pink, one yellow, one green, and one blue. Each soap is made of goat’s milk and each set comes packaged in its very own white kraft RX bag and customizable prescription form for easy gifting.

Available in packs of 12 and 24, these colorful “syringe” pens are ideal for pharmacists, nurses, doctors, or med school students. Each pack includes a variety of colors, including red, blue, yellow, and green. (The ink in each pen, however, is either black or blue.)  “I work in a hospital and worked Christmas night,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “I bought these syringe pens, along with the bone pens, and put them together to make a cute little gift for the team I worked with on Christmas. When each of my coworkers realized what they were they seemed to be pretty excited.”

Gifting cookies is always a good idea. This year, go one step further by customizing your sweet gift with this printable Rx label. These printable labels work well with mason jars and come in digital packs of six. Each card reads “Eat 1-2 cookies as needed. This medication can be shared! May take with milk, coffee or wine. Side Effects: Feelings of happiness and joy!” and measures 3” x 4” tall.   To use this gift, save the PDF to your computer, open the file with Adobe Acrobat, and print onto card stock and use a paper cutter to cut each card or print the file directly onto label paper. Each sheet is formatted for an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of paper and includes 6 cards per sheet.

Made with real OTC medications and glitter-filled pills, each of these handmade coasters is one-of-a-kind (and made by a licensed pharmacist!). This set includes two unique coasters (pill placement and selection will vary), made of two-part epoxy resin. Note: Coasters are not dishwasher safe. They are, however, heat safe to 135° F. “I can’t express how lovely these coasters are,” one Etsy reviewer writes. “I picked them as a small gift for my husband. I have already gotten a ton of compliments on them as well. The seller is absolutely fabulous, as well. I have also just ordered a pair as a gift. I’m so clumsy I dropped one on my polish concrete floors and not even a mark on it.”

Sure, pharmacists have to wear a lab coat, but that doesn’t mean they can’t add a little flair to their outfit every now and again. These handmade “Happy Pills” earrings are ideal for pharmacists, nurses, med school students, or doctors with sensitive ears (they’re hypoallergenic and nickel-free).  Obsessories LA also accepts custom orders. So if these studs aren’t exactly what you’re looking for, just contact the shop owner and they’ll whip up a mockup for you.

Even though your pharmacist friend has it “all together,” he or she could probably benefit from having a colorful, self-care planner on their desk. This “My Wellness Journal” planner by Papier encourages self-care by kickstarting each month with goals and an assigned personality trait and closing with a reflection page. This way, they can set intentions and reflect on their progress as time goes on. 

Gift your favorite pharmacist with a personalized coffee mug. Unlike the typical Rx coffee mug, this handmade mug can be personalized with the recipient’s name, is available in 12 different prints, and two sizes. This mug is also dishwasher and microwave safe. And, if you’re in a hurry, the seller offers “super fast shipping” (i.e. same-day or next-day shipping).

You can never have too many coffee mugs, right? We decided to include this mug for both its humor and customization options. On one side of the mug, you’ll find the words “Licensed Drug Dealer” (ha!) and on the other? A custom portrait of your chosen recipient along with their name. That’s pretty damn cute if you ask us.  “LOVE IT! Got for a friend as a graduation gift,” one Etsy reviewer writes. “I think it’s super adorable !! And the seller was kind enough to change the color of the scrub pants 🙂 awesome!”

Nearly every pharmacist is asked to wear an ID badge while working, so why not gift your favorite pharmacist with this funny pharmacy ID badge reel? The button, which is covered in plastic mylar, reads “Slingin’ pills to pay the bills.” The reel also has an extended cord length to prevent the reel from breaking.  “I bought this for my daughter who is in her sixth year of pharmacy school and she loved it,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “It’s so adorable!”

Socks are a great gift no matter the season. (Who doesn’t need a good pair of socks?) And with 300+ five-star reviews, we couldn’t not add them to this list.  “Bought as a gift for my daughter the nurse,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “She loves them!”

Who doesn’t enjoy a glass of wine after a long, hard day? Whether your pharmacist is a white or red wine drinker, this tumbler is designed to keep their beverage at the perfect temperature. It can also be used for juice, coffee, tea, or whatever else they’d like to put in there. It holds 12 fl oz.  “Got this for my girlfriend that’s a nurse as a silly gift, but she does enjoy wine after a long shift and she loves this!” one Amazon reviewer writes.
