These medical related and/or useful gifts will definitely spark some joy this holiday season! All of these products range mostly from $10-50, so very affordable options! These products will be linked in my Amazon storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/shanonology

1. • Study ergonomics. All pre-health students study for very long hours all day so getting them something that will help their posture is a must! 
     1. Laptop stand is very important in helping with having their laptop screen at eye level so they do not strain their back and neck! Get one that is foldable so you can take it with you to the library and other places! 
     2. Posture brace so they can maintain good posture while studying! 
     3. Wrist rest so they aren’t constantly putting pressure on their wrist and the table when they type.
     4. Nice bright desk lamp. This one have 5 light options and a touch charging station! 
     5. Padded, comfortable headphones: make sure you get ones that have large oval cups. These will completely surround your ear so that it doesn't squish and cause pain. Consider noise cancelling if they prefer to study without music
     6. Wooden lap desks are one of my favorites because they allow you to study properly in bed! 

1. • Medical related. Pre-meds will geek out over anything medical or science related because it’s our number one passion so these are some great options to choose from! 
     1. Anatomy prints and posters are a stylish way to decorate a premed’s bedroom and study area 
     2. Badge reels are clips that hang your ID badge. They have a variety of ones with medical images and are very useful since many medical students and healthcare workers use their ID daily. 
     3. Badge reference cards are cheat sheets for premeds or medical students if they are doing something at the hospital. It has lab values and medical protocols! 
     4. Medical stickers are perfect for those who like to decorate their laptops and water bottles! 
     5. Suture kits are used to learn and practice how to stitch wounds! 
     6. Scrubs are a must for anyone in healthcare! Check if they have a color code and if not, get their favorite color or style! 
   • Kitchenware that makes life easier are #1 priority for a premed because they are always on the go. 
     • Insulated coffee mug is a necessity for coffee drinkers! They keep liquids cold or warm and have a nice handle for easy carry 
     • Portable cutlery sets are useful for anyone who packs their lunch! 
     • Portable food warmer are perfect for premeds who cannot take a break or studies where there are no microwave available

1. • Stationary for all your notetakers out there. These supplies will give you studygram aesthetics. 
     1. Mildliner highlighters are wayyy better than normal highlighters because they are not as bright and in your face. They also have more variety in colors! 
     2. Muji pens write like a dream. They are silky smooth and fine tipped. 
     3. Medical sticky notes! They have fun ones like band-aid, anatomy, and pill-shaped
     4. One Line a Day journals are for premeds who like to journal but don’t have time. I usually have only a few mins to recap my day or how I feel and this 5 year journal will let them see what they did that day. 
   • Self care can be tough for a premed to do, especially if they feel overwhelmed with all the requirements they have to do. So having quick and simple ways to get them to relax will be much better than full blown self care days.

1. 1. 1. Candles to create that warm and cozy study vibe 
      2. Shower bombs are the ideal de-stresser for busy premeds! They work just like bath bombs but release aroma while you shower! 
      3. Chemistry shot glasses for your premeds who like to party 
      4. Wearable blanket to keep you comfy while you’re studying 

There are so many other options that premeds will love such as books, jewelry, and even test prep! I hope these options gave you inspiration for the special premeds in your life!
