Shopping for someone who spends twelve hours on their feet is easier than it looks. Healthcare people run on coffee, dark humor and comfortable layers, and every item below is one of those three things. Prices are in US dollars and everything in the Boutique ships from the United States.

Under $25: the coffee-break gift

• Keep Calm… OK, Not That Calm EKG Mug ($19.99), the safest pick for any nurse or tech who reads rhythm strips.
• When In Doubt, Blame Anesthesia Mug ($17.99) for the OR crowd, surgeons included.
• Cute Enough to Stop Your Heart, Smart Enough to Restart It Mug ($15.00), the classic nurse line.
• Pharmacist Licensed Drug Dealer Mug ($24.99), because pharmacists get skipped on every other gift list.
• Doctor To Be Mug ($24.99) for the med student who just matched.
• Rectum? Damn Near Killed 'Em! Vanity Plate ($19.99), the GI and colorectal favorite that hangs in more break rooms than we can count.
• Medical-themed alloy keychain ($14.99) as a stocking stuffer or a thank-you for a whole unit.

$25 to $55: tees and hoodies they will actually wear off shift

• Trust Me I'm a Doctor Tee ($29.99).
• Hire a Dentist: We Love It When You Open Wide Raglan ($29.99), part of a whole Hire a Dentist line for dental practices.
• It's Just a Flesh Wound Tee ($29.99) for ER, urgent care and EMS.
• Doc, So… Where's My Appendix? Ringer Tee ($31.99).
• Nurse Life Sweatshirt ($44.99) and the Excessive Mastication Hoodie ($49.99) for cold clinics.
• When In Doubt, Blame Anesthesia Distressed Hat ($29.99).

For EMS, tactical medics and the outdoors crowd

• MEDBAG Tactical First Aid Field Kit ($34.99) and the MEDBAG Waist Pack ($23.96).
• CAT-style tourniquet ($24.99) with a MOLLE tourniquet storage box ($24.99).

Bigger gifts and the whole-practice order

• Rectum? Damn Near Killed 'Em! Pickleball Paddle Set ($59.99) and the matching jigsaw puzzle ($29.99).
• Nurse Jane Hard-Shell Carry-On ($174.99) for the travel nurse.
• I Took My Meds For This Knitted Pet Sweater ($49.99), because the dog deserves a gift too.
• A custom embroidered jacket or vest with the practice logo and each person's name and credentials, starting at $35. Those are made to order in Maryland and take two to three weeks, so order early: design one in the customizer.

Three quick rules

Match the joke to the specialty: anesthesia jokes land with the OR, GI jokes with GI, and the EKG mug works for everyone. Buy tees and hoodies one size up for layering over scrubs. And if you are buying for a whole team, embroidery is the one gift that gets worn every shift for years.
