♪♪ >> CHRISTMAS IS SUCH A BUSY SEASON, AND YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO SHOP FOR PRESENTS.

SOMETIMES I WOULD GET SO BUSY, I'D HAVE TO DO MY LAST-MINUTE SHOPPING IN THE CLINIC WHERE I WORK.

I'M NOT PROUD OF THIS.

BUT MEDICAL GIFTS ARE A VERY USEFUL AND HEALTHY CHOICE.

PLUS, THEY'RE EASY TO FIND IF YOU WORK THERE.

AND THE PRICE IS OFTEN VERY REASONABLE.

EVERY CLINIC HAS LOTS OF SMALL GIFT ITEMS JUST LYING AROUND.

LIKE BAND-AIDS.

EVERYONE NEEDS MORE, AND THEY HAVE A THOUSAND USES.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO MADE A WALLET ENTIRELY OUT OF BAND-AIDS.

COTTON BALLS ARE SUPER USEFUL FOR MAKING HOLIDAY DECORATIONS, OR SOPPING UP VARIOUS FLUIDS AROUND THE HOME.

TONGUE BLADES, THOSE POPSICLE STICK THINGS, ARE A GREAT GIFT ITEM.

YOU CAN USE THEM FOR COOKING, CRAFT PROJECTS, OR RANDOM THROAT CULTURES ON OVERLY TALKATIVE RELATIVES.

AND RUBBER GLOVES.

WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING OVER THE HOLIDAY, DON'T LEAVE PRINTS.

AND, OF COURSE, MASKS.

DURING PANDEMIC, A THOUGHTFUL GIFT, NOW GOOD FOR AVOIDING TALKING TO PEOPLE AT TARGET.

PLUS, LOTS OF MEDICAL TOOLS, LIKE SCALPELS, IN CASE YOU NEED TO DO A BIOPSY ON THE TURKEY.

AND SYRINGES ARE GREAT FOR BASTING OR SQUIRT FIGHTS WITH THE KIDS.

CASTING SUPPLIES ARE HANDY.

PUTTING A CAST ON SOMEONE'S ARM CAN GET THEM OUT OF SHOVELING FOR 6 TO 8 WEEKS.

BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES ARE ALWAYS POPULAR.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BOLTED TO THE WALL.

AND THE ONE THING YOU WILL FIND IN EVERY HOSPITAL OR CLINIC THIS TIME OF YEAR, PATIENTS.

LOTS AND LOTS OF PATIENTS.

CLINICS ARE SUPER BUSY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.

THAT MEANS YOU CAN ROUND UP PLENTY OF GUESTS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY PARTY, WHERE YOU CAN ALL GATHER TOGETHER SINGING "WAH HOO POORAY" AND MAKING IT A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY.

SO SHOP ON BY YOUR LOCAL CLINIC.

DON'T BOTHER BRINGING YOUR CREDIT CARD, THEY ALREADY HAVE IT.
