Medical Technologist Gifts

Give a medical technologist a creative, science-related gift.

Medical technologists tend to love science, so give them a scientific gift. You can take typical gifts like soap, jewelry, magnets and toys and give them an unexpected twist. Presents with a molecular, bacterial or chemical theme will be appreciated. With these types of gifts, medical technologists can indulge their love of science in a non-work environment.

Soap

Hygiene is ingrained in the minds of medical technologists, so make their home hygiene interesting. You'll find all sorts of surprising soap online. Play on their scientific side with soap that looks like blood cells, soap resembling bacteria in petri dishes or soap infused with caffeine. Assemble a soap-making kit, complete with a melt-and-pour soap base, measuring beaker, fragrance oil, colors and plastic droppers. Package the set with a mold and instructions on mixing the ingredients.

Jewelry

Science-inspired jewelry such as molecular earrings, DNA-strand pendants and bracelets, streptococcus necklaces are just some of the gifts you will find online. If she loves caffeine, get the medical technologist a caffeine-molecule necklace. If she is lacking sleep, buy the same thing in a serotonin strand. Most geeky and scientific jewelry is custom and handmade, giving the gift an extra-special touch. Package the present in a beaker or petri dish.

Magnets

For the medical technologist who uses his fridge for reminders or who has a locker in his workplace, a science magnet may be a good gift. You can buy microbe, amoeba, bacteria, blood cells and periodic table-of-the-elements magnets online. Science magnets are available in materials like glass, felt and tile. Custom magnets can be made by taking pictures of the actual equipment medical technologists work with and cut them into the shape of the object.

Chemistry Toys

Indulge the playful side of a medical technologist with a science-related toy. Present her with an oversized microbe plush. These are available online in such varieties as flu, rabies, mange and salmonella. For veterinary techs, fleas and ticks are also available in a plush or bean-bag toy. Buy a kit so she can grow crystals, plants or even make her own candy. If he loves soda, give him a carbonation kit so he can make his own drinks.
