Trying to plan ahead and want to give my patients a little something for Christmas this year and would like some ideas.

I'm looking at 10-20$ per patient price range.

I don't want to give them candles, coffee mugs or throw blankets- do y'all have any other ideas that are appropriate and in that price range?

Most of my patients are elderly, disabled. A handful of them are still able-bodied and work.

I am trying to think outside of the box for something unusual but also something that would be thoughtful and nice.

I can’t tell if they’re inpatient or not. What about a coffee gift bag combo? $8 or $9 a bag, two bags.

You're looking for "professional and appropriate" and you decided to come to the OT?

While I wouldn’t choose this one in particular - some of my patients might actually enjoy a nice Cajun cookbook.

That’s a great idea.

Lenny- the coffee is a great idea as well.

tOT can deliver a diamond from the rough every now and again.

I know I’ll have to sift through the dick in a box and BJ’s comments but I’m certain a few ppl will actually have some nice ideas.

My go to elderly gift is fancy handsoap and tea towels. Kinda disposable/consumable and usually not something people purchase for themselves.
A cookbook could be good if they cook or coffee/tea if they drink it (you have inside info since you are at their home)
Mukluk socks or slippers if they suffer from cold feet. Supposedly they are super warm.
Nice Christmas ornaments if they are a big scrooge or grinch.
