It’s all fun and games till someone gets blood in their eye. We all know the importance of wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Not only does it keep the patient safe, it keeps us as caregivers safe as well. Yes, the facility provides us with eyewear, however sometimes we like to have the opportunity to express our personal style. Check out these safety glasses and see if they are a perfect fit for anyone you know!
As with the previous two items listed, showing off personal style is important. We like to add our personal flair in little ways. Another way to personalize our look is with our head coverings. With so many styles and patterns to choose from, there is something for everyone.
Let your loved one show off their profession with lovely themed ornaments.

Everybody has a phone and nobody wants it damaged. Why not find a phone case or accessory that your loved one will think is awesome? Look for one that is easy to wipe down.

Who doesn’t love scratch tickets??? We all have that secret wish to win big and retire. Okay, maybe not retire, but a fully paid for vacation sounds good!! Remember, you can’t win, if you don’t play!!

Add some pizazz to their look with a cute badge holder. Yet another way we O.R. folk like to show off our style. Lanyard or clip, there are so many styles to choose.
