Occupational therapists are on the move between clients, rooms and sessions, and use their hands all day. The best gifts are a good bottle, a sturdy tote and hand-friendly tools.
About our picks: We picked bags, bottles and desk helpers for a moving workday, and left out therapy tools and equipment, since therapists choose those for each client.
Gift ideas for an occupational therapist
Gift tip: Skip gifts that look like therapy equipment, since they often have strong views about what they use. Comfort and carry-all items are safer. Buying for a coworker? See coworker gift ideas or Secret Santa ideas.
